CHRIS STAPLETON RELEASES NEW SINGLE

Artist: Chris Stapleton

Chris Stapleton has released his new single, “White Horse,” which he co-wrote with Dan Wilson. The song was written over a decade ago when Dan and Chris were asked to write a song for a movie, however, it didn’t make the final cut of the film.

“’White Horse’ was a song that I wrote with my friend, Dan Wilson,” says Chris. “We were out in Los Angeles, it was about I think probably late 2012, early 2013, and there was a movie called the Lone Ranger that was coming out, and I walked in the room to write with Dan at his house, and he said, ‘Hey they’re looking for songs for this Lone Ranger movie.’ I said, ‘Cool. Let’s write something. What do you know about it?’ He goes, ‘Well, we don’t really know anything.’ I was like, ‘Well, let’s just make a song that might sound like that.’ And so, that’s kind of where that came from, and we got to talking about how it would be cool to have a kind of rock-driven-western-themed song, and that’s kind of where the song came from and we kind of built it around a guitar riff, really.”

Chris co-produced “White Horse” with Dave Cobb and his wife Morgane Stapleton.

WHITE HORSE LYRICS:

This love is getting kinda dangerous
Feels like it’s a loaded gun
My mind, it’s turning like a cloud of dust
My heart always wants to run

Oh Oh Oh
If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that’s the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight girl I ain’t there yet
No I ain’t there yet
No I ain’t there yet

White Horse

Someday maybe you could have your way
Right now’s just not the time
Some things a man’s just got to do
I wish you could change my mind

White Horse

If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that’s the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight girl I ain’t there
If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that’s the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight girl I ain’t there yet
No I ain’t there yet
No I ain’t there yet
White Horse

Chris is set to play the Rock The South music festival in Cullman, Alabama on Saturday (July 22nd), followed by a two-night stand at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium with George Strait and Little Big Town July 28th and July 29th.
