“I Can Still Make Cheyenne” by George Strait

I Can Still Make Cheyenne is one of 7 rodeo songs that made our listThis song really speaks the truth about the determination and will of a cowboy and his calling to the rodeo life. While calling his significant other after being on the road with the rodeo, our narrator is told, “Don’t bother coming home” as she has found a new suitor who has no interest in rodeo. Our cowboy sings, “There’s so much about her that I’m gonna miss,” but complacently accepts the fact that she is finished with him. He knows that he is consumed with the rodeo and quickly makes new plans to make the next event. After the conversation, he “aims his truck to that Wyoming line,” and is concerned about making it in time for the next rodeo in Cheyenne. The song seems to be about letting go of certain things in life in order to make room for the things you are truly passionate about.
