Zach Top - I Can Still Make Cheyenne (Cover)

George Strait's "I Can Still Make Cheyenne" performed by Zach Top.
Lyrics:
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
He said, it's cold out here and I'm all alone
Didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there somethin' wrong
She said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
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
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say
She said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
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
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
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

This young man nailed that without sounding like George Strait, I thought that would be a stretch but Zack didn't even have to try, it just poured out....

[@robsj6838]

Zach, thanks for bringing back the real country sound and stories. So much appreciated by true country fans.

[@rods41]

Zach is on the way up! from Bluegrass to old school REAL Country, he has that classic sound that everyone wants to hear. Listen to his Original songs too! Played the Opry a few times as well! Love this guy and hope he gets all the success he deserves! Takes me right back to the days when the radio was full of Keith Whitley songs!

[@davidhochstetler4068]

He’s arrived

[@KC-wi4gh]

Awesome. Your guitar playing is sweet and that voice can stand with any of my Country heroes like Randy Travis or Vince Gill.

[@CivilizedWarrior]

I hear a massive Alan Jackson influence in his voice. One of my favorites. I guess they DO still make em like that.

[@michaelgaines3178]

I certainly mean no disrespect for George, but this is the first time I’ve listened to this song and it actually made me feel the sadness it is due. Well done young man!!

[@kerrybooth2504]

I live in Kennewick Wa if you want to play over here sometime? You are a blessing to country music.

[@BrianKeeleMusic]

What’s always gets me is how great your guitar playin is man! I’m a lazy rhythm guy. Wish I could pick it like you. Great job

[@lawrencesligh632]

Thos young man is about as good as you can ask for. Problem is he won't get airplay cause he don't conform with what Nashville wants. Real talent.

[@joshuasprings6927]

There are some true country artist like zach that are making it to the radio because of tiktok and youtube if its popular the radio will play it and the ryman has small artist all the time

[@Ryan-cv9me]

Don’t worry, he’ll break through.

[@LOVERGEIST777]

Truth! Country radio ain’t been country in a long long time

[@jonathanburton9471]

I went and seen him Fri night he's awesome live!!!!

[@michaelharris8420]

Dont count on it! Country music is reversing itself.

[@danstringer7610]

This is great!

[@Deenaderka99]

I fully support this dude.

[@PhillyFlyersss]

If you do a cover of a song this legendary, you better absolutely kill it. Zach Top did just that. So refreshing to have a true talent in country, you take me back to my childhood with your voice, absolutely beautiful

[@altmandillon1]

Dont get much better than that!!

[@daningram3143]

We are looking at a living legend!! He’s absolutely fantastic, voice, player, looks he’s got it all!!

[@clfhnt]

heard you on the Opry Zach. You sure sounded good. You look more "authentic" in the black Stetson hat . Let the other guys wear the baseball caps. 'Think the dogs liked this tune also. Best of luck!!!!

[@stetsonclawson7502]

Real country is an understatement. He will definitely have my support!!

[@RyanSmith-mr2gy]

How is this dude not on the radio??

[@RhondaBland]

He's real Country, all they seem to want is wannabe rappers with a southern accent!

[@jeremyprichard1]

He actually makes good music lol

[@ericslaven3430]

He’s damn good

[@jessejones1689]

Facts

[@MrJc7998]

Too country

[@ConnieCoulbourne]

Zach is the best thing to hit Country Music since George Strait!

[@userjones3399]

Great Bluegrass and Country musician. Not many guys that are labeled Country can actually play both styles of music and play it right

[@chopsticksandtrains]

Man you're talented. Love your picking and singing! Good pick here out of the old Strait catalogue.

[@bandit2426]

AWESOME song Zach. Dogs just sit there while you sing.

[@sarahwilkerson7441]

Dare I say, you did it better than King George? You go, boy! New fan here in FL!

[@davidm1647]

No, but he did sing it well.

[@jonswagert1491]

Zach makes me want to quit playing guitar and I’ve been playing for 23 years

[@davidjessee7701]

That was a great cover!! Funny when the ac compressor kicked on and the doggy’s got a little surprise 😂

[@DaisyBloomz]

Great cover of my favorite George Strait. Call your radio stations and request Zach. If they say we don't know him, say well you should.

[@thewinchester1775]

this legit made me tear up, best and most real cover i’ve ever heard

[@kaylastanley9578]

Love love love every bit of this. 90s country has and always will be my favorite music. Your voice and songs fit every bit of that vibe!! ❤️

[@TonySiragusa99]

Amazing rendition of the song. Your voice to me sounds similar to Joe Nichols pre-pop country.

[@drakehayworth4323]

In a world goin away from the old school way im proud i get to hear someone with this kind of sound in my generation. A breath of fresh air🇺🇸

[@EdieWeedy]

Saw him in SOUTHAVEN MS with Lainey Wilson. & he was great! Somebody cut this kid a record deal.

[@davidevans7510]

Just finding out about this great new young talent. Definitely an old country soul. I will be looking forward to seeing you this December 20th in Oklahoma.

[@brandonc7559]

Can't get enough of these 90's country covers!.. and I love the guitar arrangements! You can sure play!

[@garyshivers]

Damn boy. Don’t stop. You’re singing from the heart. Great job sir

[@mrs.bridges555]

This lil fella is the real deal💙 Pure country gold!

[@TiernanKid1576]

Beautiful cover of a great song

[@JimmyNorris-e6v]

Great job! Anyone can sing someone else's song but putting heart into it makes it yours and you nailed it my friend!

[@johnhermes4112]

Zach, I’m a new fan of yours from your originals. Hearing you do these acoustic covers has just raised my respect and love for your music tenfold. This is a sound that’s been missing from country for a long time, and you do this sound as good as anyone who did it in the 90’s! Thank you for sharing your music with the world.

[@robsj6838]

His new release, Sounds like the radio is being played a number of times a day now. Sounds great on SXM.

[@LukeFord_Music]

Another fantastic cover! I can’t tell what I’m more impressed with, the vocals or the pickin!

[@robbudgell6615]

Zach is what country needs and this point in time, along with a few more like him. They need to get away from this bubble gum pop country, or whatever you wanna call it. It bothers my ears and hurts my soul when i turn to a country channel these days. He might not be one of those outlaws or Highwaymen but he could sure pave a new road of country music that will still hit home!! Love it!

[@mandancowboy]

That's Cowboy music love it!

[@juliesmith74]

You're so talented Zach! I hope to see your music blow up man. You deserve it so much.

[@rach6821]

Great job! I love this song sooo much!

[@danielskogen9926]

Like George Jones said about Mark Chesnutt when he heard him, I say that about Zach, "he's the real deal"!!!

[@hollylinscomb4595]

We saw him at the Grand Ole Opry last month. He sounds just as good in person, if not better.

[@ericnkey]

Great job Zach. Come visit us at Lucky Dog again !

[@rossmcallister7720]

This is some excellent guitar picking. Keep it up, you’ll be on music row in no time!

[@bertblue9683]

Love this song and what you're doing. Enjoy listening to your work.

[@MrBeef1001]

I could really use a full album of Zach Top covering old country greats

[@anasukera1731]

Don't ever stop singing. You are mega talented . Keeping old country alive. Well done😊

[@glenrogers4577]

Please do a Ricky Skaggs cover

[@jimmymack6820]

Its simply sensational. Thats all.

[@rebagrinde6272]

Thank you for sharing good country music with the world! It’s so awesome. I’m a big fan👏 Was raised on 80s and 90s country. Reba George Mark Chesnut Whitley and Pam. My mom loved country music and played guitar and sang.

[@flyingeagle3859]

Stay after it sir, if a body can sang Bocephus and George Straight both, he has a special gift! 🤠

[@robertconrad475]

Awesome stuff, he really needs to be on country radio!!!

[@nateosman]

You did george proper on this one sir.

[@robertcope2465]

Excellent picking technique and the vocal performance was impeccable. Well done 👍🏼

[@coltsoutdoorlife9016]

This guy is my new favorite country artist, period! He's gonna save Real Country Music. King George, Chris Ledoux, George Jones, Don Williams and Marty Robbins can rest easy knowing this guy is gonna carry the genere for decades to come. I thought it was going to be Eric Church but money and fame change your tune and fan base. @Zach Top do not sell out or change your sound.

[@robsj6838]

Zach Top is on the SXM country channel 56.

[@colingaido8762]

Love you voice, love your style, love your dogs!

[@DoubleKMustangs]

Still hope for country music with guys like CoJo and Zach Top.

[@joshuacoates9595]

Its the dogs listening to him for me

[@ellisspear]

Sounding great. Love the song. Got to bring back the mustache....you are an icon !!

[@ryanbuckner2405]

Something about dudes named Zach and country music. Hell of a combination 😂

[@bridgerdemers3349]

Pretty good twang ya got going on there partner..def enjoy the remake to this great song by the king himself. I’ve also covered this song, really hits home with the heart. Keep it up!!

[@gregsmith1705]

What tuning is this? Key is E, but the chord fingerings are throwing me off...

[@minifrogmansam]

Damn cuz you play amazing just needs to be a Lil louder with the vocals well done

[@jch928]

Great job man, that is a tough cover and you pulled it off,

[@texas357]

You got it Zach, just stay true to yourself

[@destinymendoza4623]

Wow his voice is so country .. He needs to be on the radio for sure . ❤

[@wyattyates310]

He sounds as good as I think I am in my head lol

[@austinfreeman7995]

What kind of dog is your red dog? He looks a lot like mine. Best dog in the world!

[@RhondaBland]

Is he from Arkansas? He's got a little Arkansas twang to his voice, he has the potential to be a new favorite for me.

[@RhondaBland]

Seriously, Johnny Cash, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Nichols, my ears just love these guys! I'm sure Arkansas women sing just as well.

[@jordansparkman9430]

I’m pretty sure he’s from Colorado. I think he lives in Nashville now

[@kylenobes1]

He actually grew up in Washington state.

[@romysan1]

what a great job. best cover///a man and his dogs, got to love it !

[@isabellanagel7539]

Just wow! Awesome cover man

[@jinxthegreat6533]

Love to hear what you do with Mark Chestnut "old violin"

[@aCasualObserver.]

Excellent 👍

[@geezergolfchannel573]

Love it! There is still hope for country music

[@tankerslug]

Wow awesome job.

[@littelcarter]

We definitely need a Keith Whitley cover…

[@stevensheats30]
