Wyoming Cowboy, Chancey Williams Releases a Perfect Veterans Day Song, ‘If I Die Before You Wake’

When people tell me that there isn’t cowboy in country music anymore I immediately point to my buddy, and true Wyoming Cowboy, Chancey Williams. Not only a former rodeo star, but to this day when he’s not on the road with his band he’s farming and ranching just like he did growing up. He also has a giant heart for the U.S. Military, and it shows in his latest song released in honor of Veterans Day.

“If I Die Before You Wake” is a great reminder of the high price our veterans have paid for our freedom.

Come see Chancey at our St. Jude Jam with Brett Young, Easton Corbin, and Dillon Carmichael at the Grizzly Rose on December 12th. Grab tickets here.
