“Side Pony” is the 8th track and titular song of Lake Street Dive’s fifth album. The title refers to a hairstyle in which a ponytail is tied on the side of the head rather than on the back. Bassist Bridget Kearney can be seen rocking this hairdo on the album cover.
In the first verse, the side pony...
[Verse 1]
I got a parrot of hair on my shoulder
It’s apparent it’s there, and it’s bolder
Like I show you my cards, I’m no folder
Yes I’m a soldier
Against everything square and unsightly
Yes I know I look good, so don’t fight me
All I need is a clip or a scrunchie
And then I’m ready
[Chorus]
Because I rock a side pony
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Who doesn’t love a side pony?
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
[Verse 2]
Since I met you, you’ve been in my stable
And I see you whenever I’m able
Though we’re keeping it under the table
It ain’t a fable
Why can’t we hide it away in your derby
We’re having fun and we’re keeping it flirty
Everybody might say that it’s dirty
But don’t you worry
[Chorus]
Because I rock a side pony
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Who doesn’t love a side pony?
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Ride, ride, ride, ride)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Ride, ride, ride, ride)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Ride, ride, ride)
[Chorus]
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Because I rock a side pony
Baby I’m just living my life
Because I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
I rock a side pony
Who doesn’t love a side pony? (Side pony)
Baby I’m just living my life (Baby I'm just living my life)
Because I rock a side pony (Side pony)
I rock a side pony (Side pony)
I rock a side pony (Baby I'm just living my life)
Because I rock a side pony (Side pony)
Baby, I'm just living my life (Baby I'm just living my life)
'Cause I rock a side pony (Side pony)
I rock a side pony (Side pony)
I rock a side pony (Baby I'm just living my life)
Because I rock a side pony (Side pony)
Baby I'm just living my life (Baby I'm just living my life)
Because I rock a side pony (Side pony)
Oh, I rock a side- (Side pony)
I rock-, rock a side pony (Baby I'm just living my life)
Oh (Side pony)
(Baby I'm just living my life)
(Side pony)
