Clay blends his signature traditional country sound with a fresh, contemporary twist, captivating fans with every release. The song was written by Walker with Jaren Boyer, Matt Gorman, and John Stephens
“I only write songs that I feel like I’ve lived or have some kind of experience with. ‘Cowboys In Heaven’ was written by a bunch of guys who really love cowboy, western lifestyle. I had my good friend, Charlie Rizzo, in mind when we were writing it. Charlie was a champion bareback rider and a true cowboy. The day we finished the song was the day he passed away. So it has a really sentimental place in my heart.” said Walker.
Fans will also be able to hear “Cowboys In Heaven” live during Clay Walker’s upcoming “Drive Me Smooth Tour”, kicking off in February and continuing through the spring and summer of 2025.
