There\u2019s the cowboy with a wandering eye, the Lone Star State vixen out to woo him, and Langley\u2019s soon-to-be-drinking-alone narrator. But it\u2019s the names that Langley cast to play those roles that help make the video so charming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tHere are all the cameos you may have missed.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tLuke Grimes\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe Yellowstone and Marshalls star is about to roll out his brand new country album, Red Bird. For \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas,\u201d however, he emphasizes his acting, playing the cowboy who just can\u2019t quit the pull of Texas and all that comes along with it.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tMiranda Lambert\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe native Texan co-wrote \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d with Langley (she co-produced Langley\u2019s upcoming album Dandelion, too) and appears in the video as the sage country singer who\u2019s already seen it all.

Champs at that: Mayfield and Durfy are world champ calf ropers, while Mauney is a PBR world champion and NFR bullrider. \u00a0And Brisby, the long-haired guy at the table, earned a reputation for being a bull-riding comedian.
