At theToby Keith tribute concertin Nashville earlier this week,Lainey Wilsonmade a dramatic entrance on horseback, riding from the back of the arena to take her place in the spotlight onstage.
The latest release from Wilsons upcoming albumWhirlwindcontinues her equine theme with help from another country songwriter who knows her way around a stable: Good Horses is a duet withMiranda Lambert.
Wilson, Lambert, and frequent Lambert collaboratorLuke Dickwrote the easygoing track, which delivers a dont fence me in message of wanderlust, but with the reassurance that those roaming always return to the ones they love.

31 years is a long time coming/Feet off the ground but Ima still running, Wilson, now 32, sings in the first verse, before tossing the reins to Lambert, who voices Wilsons own origin story: Come a long way since I left Louisiana/My dream tied on like a red bandana.
They come together throughout the song to put a lovers mind at ease, singing, If you wanna love me/You dont need a rope/You just need to know/Good horses come home.
