Chase Rice gave the classic song a new spin.
George Strait has been one of the biggest names in country music since the 1980s, and nobody can argue with the fact that his songs have a way of sticking with you and getting to your heart. With 60 number one hits, more than any other artist in country music history, it’s no wonder that people have been celebrating his legendary songs for decades.
Some of his most memorable tunes include “All My Exes Live in Texas,” “The Chair,” “Ocean Front Property,” “Check Yes or No,” “I Cross My Heart,” and “Amarillo by Morning.”
But there’s one hit from 1996 that might not immediately come to mind as one of his most recognizable. However, after hearing singer Chase Rice‘s new cover of the song, it’s easy to see why fans are rediscovering just how emotional and impactful it is. Check out his rendition of “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” which was shared on TikTok by CMT.
Man. What an iconic song — and Rice certainly sounds amazing singing it! Fans are totally loving this new version.
One person said, “His voice is mesmerizing,” and another added, “Please don’t ever stop singing.”
Other fan reactions included:
“George Strait would be proud”
“Chase this is absolutely beautiful!!!”
“Did king George proud”
“I thought I loved this song before. Cowboy, I just melt hearing you sing this”
It really is such a gorgeous tune. For comparison’s sake, here’s a video of Strait singing it.
Whether you’re familiar with the rodeo life or not, “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” never fails to tug at the heartstrings. After all, plenty of people have that one person in their life who they feel an eternal connection to even though being together just wasn’t in the cards for them.
“He said, I’m sorry it’s come down to this… There’s so much about you that I’m gonna miss. But it’s alright baby if I hurry, I can still make Cheyenne.”
While Rice sounds amazing, there’s really nothing quite like seeing Strait perform his beloved hits in person. He recently announced a new show, George Strait at Death Valley, which will happen on May 2, 2026 in Clemson, South Carolina.
Anyone lucky enough to score tickets is in for a real treat.
