<h1>Can Still Make Cheyenne</h1><h2>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h2><h2><br></h2><p><strong>"I Can Still Make Cheyenne"</strong> is a song written by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Barker" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aaron Barker</a> and Erv Woolsey, and recorded by American <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">country music</a> artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Strait" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">George Strait</a>. It was released in August 1996 as the third single from Strait's album <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Clear_Sky" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Blue Clear Sky</em></a>. The song also appears on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Number_Ones" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>50 Number Ones</em></a>.

A DVD, with the same name, also features the song.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>Content</h2><p>The song is about the life of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodeo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rodeo</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cowboy</a>. The song begins with the verse, "Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine. She heard his voice on the other end of the line. She wondered what was wrong this time. She never knew what his calls might bring, with a cowboy like him it could be anything, and she always expected the worst in the back of her mind." A phone call from a cowboy on the road to his love. He regrets his long absence and lack of writing or calling but assures her that he is coming home. However, her tone alerts him that something is wrong. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chorus</a> reveals that the woman has decided to leave him for someone she says is "sure not a rodeo man". The cowboy replies that as much as this pains him, he will go on to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne,_Wyoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cheyenne</a>, referring to the most <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne_Frontier_Days" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prestigious rodeo around</a>. He was going to give up Cheyenne to be with her, one of the biggest sacrifices a cowboy could make until she said she was leaving him for another. The song describes the cowboy ending the call and leaving the phone off the hook and slowly turning around and taking one last look. He then gets in his truck and "aims it toward that Wyoming line." The lyrics leave the listener to decide if the Cowboy was neglectful of his love, or if she gave up on him for another, who was not a rodeo man. The last verse of the song repeats the first. The soulful fiddle solo at the end of the song is one of the signatures of the song.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/BCLQLT0.jpg" alt="Winter-Wonderland"></p>
