The clip shows Elliott dressed in cowboy gear at a saloon. He recites "Old Town Road" to the bartender in his signature Western drawl.

"I got the horses in the back. Horse tack is attached. Hat is matte black. I got the boots that's black to match," Elliott says. "Ridin' on a horse. Ha! You can whip your Porsche. I been in the valley. You ain't been up off that porch, now. Can nobody tell me nothing. You can't tell me nothing."

The teaser ends with the "Old Town Road" bass line coming in as Elliott leaves the saloon.

"Can't nobody tell Sam Elliott nothin'," Doritos tweeted Friday.

Super Bowl LIV will air on CBS. Demi Lovato will perform the national anthem, with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira to headline the halftime show.
