We'll just pray to people with cancer. RIP Toby, rest in eternal peace Big man.

[@kathieovercash8414]

It's so hard to watch him perform this at the CMA Awards in October of 23. Toby was saying goodbye. My heart is broken. RIP TOBY KEITH. What an amazing and incredible man.

Hey, my grandfather was Robert Waldorf. He passed today may 14 2024 at 930 this morning. He sent me this video in January when he moved in with my family. He battled his cancer very hard but with other complications he didn’t make it. Thank you guys for your support!

[@MaryHegrenes]

He showed this to me too. Here’s to our Grandpa 💕🙏🏻

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Prayers Robert

It's such a shame we have such a devastating illness, that is so brutal and unforgiving on the human body, its so sad for the passing of Toby Keith, such a generous person with his time to the fan's who adore him and his music, a terrible loss for his family this is a really sad song to listen to knowing what he was going through in life. Goodbye to a great person, great family man, and we were blessed to have him in our lives through his music. R.I.P. 🥺🥺🙏🙏

[@MikkiHjalmquist]

Originally released back in 2019. It was used for the movie The Mule with Clint Eastwood. You need to watch him sing it at the 2023 County People Choice Awards. It was kind of sad watching him.

[@kimt4870]

Toby wrote it for Clint Eastwood and he used it in his movie “The Mule”. Toby wrote this before he found out he had cancer and once he did find out, the song sort of applied to the cancer. I think it refers to the the old person that lives in each of us. Because truly, age isn’t the number, it’s how you think and how you feel. Age comes from within, not from the date on the calendar.

[@mamakittyluvsjesus]

Don't let the old man in was written when Toby heard Clint Eastwood comment " I don't let the old man in" when asked about the amount of energy he had despite being 88 .Thanks Farm daddy aka Robert sorry to hear about the cancer. Your in my prayers . Thanks Don for the awesome reaction

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You so kindly Penny. Your prayers mean so much. I just received word last night that my sister in Minnesota passed away from cancer. This song is so beautiful and hits deep in the heart and soul. Don had an amazing reaction. So heartfelt.

[@texconagher]

Toby wrote this after talking to Eastwood. Toby asked him how does he do it..88 yes old and still at it. Clint said "I don't let the old man in"

[@debrablumrogers5096]

RIP Toby ,you will be greatly missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN.Your music will be passed on for many generations .Godspeed 🙏

[@mikerobertson4041]

Very powerful message! Go rest high, Toby! Prayers for Robert & all of those dealing with cancer.

[@RockOutlaw_00]

Yes, I just saw a recent live performance video of Toby doing this song. Sad to see his current health condition.

[@jcat__]

Thanks Robert for the great request. I loved seeing Toby perform this on the People Choice Country Awards I'll include you in my prayers. Put this in God's hands and he will take care of it, he helped me beat cancer twice Thanks Don for the reaction

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You jcat. I just received word last night my sister passed away from cancer. She beat it 3 times before. Thank You for your prayers and God Bless You.

[@jcat__]

@@farmdaddy1555 Sorry for your loss. I'll also add healing to my prayers for you and your family over this great loss. There is a song by Anne Wilson called "Strong" that keeps me on the right path

[@dianehail1150]

Toby Keith is not average!! He gave this song to Clint Eastwood as a birthday gift three years ago before knowing about cancer.

[@tdshrinksleevelabeling953]

Yes, it was for the movie Mule. Clint said he doesn't let the old man in to Toby at a golf tourney when toby asked how he does it. Sadly the song that Toby wrote was more about his life. RIP!

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

He wrote this for Clint Eastwood for his birthday & Clint used it in his movie 'The Mule'. As you said, Toby has been suffering for a long time & undergoing Cancer treatment. He sang this song a couple weeks again on a country award show & the poor guy looks so old & frail. It broke my heart. I am praying hard that he beats the Cancer. He is one of my all time favs. Another beautiful song by Toby is 'Cryin' for me' about his friend Wayman Tisdale. AMAZING song & video. Toby also has some of the funniest songs/videos ever made. 'As good as I once was', 'How do you like me now?', 'I wanna talk about me', 'Trailerhood' & so many more. He also has an amazing video with his duet with Willie Nelson' called 'Beer for my horses'. It's like a mini movie!! Prayers for @farmdaddy1555. I am so very sorry you are going thru this.

[@debbiebowman1830]

He wrote it for Clint Eastwoods birthday and he loved it so good it played in his movie mule, but then Toby was diagnosed with stomach cancer and it's so sad

[@Nicole_Jewell]

This was released in 2019 Toby wrote it for a movie called the Mule with Clint Eastwood in it. He was going to change the lyrics but once Clint and the producers heard it they said leave it as is it fits the movie storyline perfect. Don you need to if you haven't seen it watch Toby's performance of this song on the country music people's choice awards. His wife and him both couldn't fight back tears. Prayers sent to Robert.

[@momusicfan]

Very moving indeed.

[@jcat__]

The song was written in the late 2010's, after a conversation Toby had with Clint Eastwood and first recorded by Willie Nelson. The song appears in Clint's movie "The Mule"'

[@jacobherricks6951]

What a beautiful song

[@jansue766]

Such an amazing song and nice to hear someone playing it this way. Beautiful

[@tiacalhoun3841]

RIP Toby, we love you

[@travisdean8794]

I been waiting for this one. And prayers for ya brother.

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You

[@1lthrnk]

I watch a video of him at a concert after cancer treatment, he don’t look the same. This is from the movie “The Mule”

[@dtwow98]

I love this song! I'm 70 and I'm trying not to let the old man in. 😊 I have a song I'd like for you to hear by Jamie Jonhson called In Color. Enjoy your reactions!

[@nvrgvnup4346]

ty … i’ve woke at 3am . this song was playing over and over in my dreams . so much i can’t stop hearing it. im a 48 yr old female. i’m learning . ty for ur words . God bless from TN .

[@PapaFixit]

Prayers and condolences Farmdaddy. Stand strong and dont let the old man in.

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You.

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You so kindly Don. That was just an amazing and awesome reaction and spot on. I couldn’t have said it better myself. That line about how old would you be just hits the heart and soul dead center. Thank You again for your kind words and prayers. Your channel has brought me so much enjoyment the past 4-5 years. You are awesome !!!

[@momusicfan]

Prayers to you and all us cancer survivors. It was June 15, 2021 for me which makes this song special. The best clip of this song was a couple weeks ago during an award show. Toby sang, or lip sang it. I cant believe he can sing those words going through what Toby is going through currently. I saw the movie "The Mule", Clint Eastwood played this song at the very end. Such a motivation for me. I've told many neighbors about Clint Eastwood's line, "Don't let the old man in". I mow, shovel, snowblow numerous people's property around me for free. I tell them I'm not letting the old man in. No rockin chair and watching game shows for me. Thanks for choosing this song.

[@cliffordbarnes1631]

Robert I just saw this reaction and want you to know that you are indeed in my prayers. This is such a poignant song for folks like you and I, as well as many others. You are indeed a special person Farm Daddy! Your friend from France, Cliff

[@jamiebrooks9636]

Willie Nelson sang this in the mule but what you can take away from this song willie Nelson he’s looking at from being 90 years old he’s lived his life and doesn’t wanna leave just yet. Then if you watch Toby sing this song he’s fighting back the tears his wife is crying in the audience he’s looking at he is to young to die he has a whole life a head of him responsibilities to the ones he loves his struggles with the pain from the cancer by tried really hard to not let death in to his house because if you invite the old man of death in it’s over so fight every day

[@ghtully]

Toby wrote this song himself

[@billybarker7885]

It was written by Toby for Clint Eastwood a few years back

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

cancer is rough. lost my mom to brain cancer back in 1995

[@astralnomad]

Complete contrast to Garth Brooks - The Night I Called The Old Man Out lol

[@jeremylilly1054]

Love the reaction Don always appreciate your interesting perspectives and thoughts. I saw you did Zach Bryan Something in the Orange awhile ago. I'd love to see you do his song "Half Grown" sometime. I've never seen another reactor do it and I think it's a great message.

[@ranger-1214]

The phrase came while playing golf with Clint, and the movie he was about to start. Here's Toby talking about it and how it got into the movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmrnmmEfdhghKs

[@coachkeyboard2279]

If you could also react to his live performance he did just a few weeks ago I think it’ll hit you even harder!

[@TXplowgirl]

Actually, Toby was diagnosed with stomach cancer back in 21. He decided to keep it private, He just finally decided to come out and talk about it in the last couple of months. I would suggest watching the Peoples Choice Country Awards show from a couple weeks ago, he sings it live. That big man who used to be about 285 lbs is now down to probably 185. He's skinny as can be. Sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with the crap too Robert. My uncle, who's 84 years old, the last child and brother to my daddy, my daddy died back in 2002 with colon cancer, there were a total of 11 siblings, is now on his 3rd round of cancer. He also lost a son who was just 30 years old to brain stem cancer, I think he has decided to heck with trying to fight it this time. He's tired and ready to go home to his family that's waiting for him on the other side. Can't say that I blame him, the last 20 years has been pretty rough on him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Farmdaddy.

[@farmdaddy1555]

Thank You so kindly

[@farmdaddy1555]

I lost my oldest sister to cancer a few years ago. My next oldest sister, who has beaten 3 bouts of cancer already, just passed away last night. I just got here to Texas for the winter and now have to go back. Only 3 of us left from a family of 8. Thank You for your prayers…much appreciated.
