While traveling for his 2022 tour, the singer shared two videos of himself performing; he performed one song in Kansas and another one in Bristol, Tennessee.
"Sometimes I feel like Jesse James / Still trying to make a name / Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am / I was a young troubadour," McCreery sings. "When I rode in on a song / And I'll be an old troubadour / When I'm gone."
You can clearly see how much respect McCreery has for Strait, I'm living for his obsession.

This isn't the first time that the country music singer has honored the King of Country. He previously paid tribute with his single "Damn Straight," released in September 2021. He also released a music video in which he visits Gruene Hall, located in New Braunfels, Texas, where Strait played multiple times before he landed his first record deal and kicked off his career. The music video includes several photos and videos of Strait throughout his career.
About the music video, McCreary stated that the single was a classic country heartbreak song. "I knew I wanted to film it at a place that paid respect to both elements of the song," he stated. "When my director Jeff Ray suggested Gruene Hall, where George performed regularly with his Ace in the Hole Band before becoming the legend that he is today, I knew that was the perfect location."
