Can you imagine sitting on a gold mine for 3,650 days without telling a soul? Most people would rush to show the world, but Chris Stapleton is not like most people. Back in 2013, he wrote a song for a big Hollywood movie that was not used. That song was the powerful anthem we now know as “White Horse”.
The music feels like a dusty trail meeting a loud electric guitar. While the 2013 movie The Lone Ranger felt a bit empty to some, this song is full of life and grit. Chris Stapleton shows us a man who is not ready to be a hero just yet. He proves that being a real cowboy means knowing when to ride away.

Fans are absolutely losing their minds over how legendary this feels. One viewer said that the wait was worth every second because the song is a masterpiece. Another person mentioned that they no longer make music like this. People love that Chris did not trade his soul for a quick hit on the radio.
Waiting for the right moment is hard, but Chris Stapleton and his friend Dan Wilson never gave up. They kept trying to record the song over many years until it finally felt perfect for the album Higher. This journey from a rejected movie track to a Grammy winner shows that quality wins. This patience leads us right to the dusty desert set.
