Toby Keith is a true patriot. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes! Or does that blue moon shine on you

[@roniboyd613]

One of my faves❤❤ and love the Toby twist at the end😉

[@VeteranforTrump]

I agree 100% one of my top 5 toby songs

[@shannoncopp7418]

Released in 1993, it was his debut single, reaching #1. It was all uphill from there. RIP country music legend.

[@cathyholcombe4674]

Gene and Roy he refers to in his song is Gene Autry and Roy Rogers and Marshall Dillon (James Arness) and Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake) from Gunsmoke. As for a dance, a two step or line dancing would be great.

[@justwondering5651]

It's all nostalgia, longing for days past, a legendary but possible mythical Old West. Gunsmoke is the longest running TV western, 21 seasons from 1955 to 1975, set in Dodge City, Kansas in the 1870's. Marshall Matt Dillon (James Arness) was the lead actor. Kitty Russell (Amanda Blake) owned the Long Branch saloon. There was an unrequited romantic tension between the two of them. Viewers hoped they would marry but they never did. This is what the song refers to when Toby sings Marshall Dillon never hung his saddle at Kitty's place. Gene and Roy were Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, both are famous cowboy movie and TV actors and singers in the 1930s-1960s. You've heard Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, that's Gene singing. Roy married his co-star Dale Evans, their signature song is Happy Trails.

[@LordHoth_90]

Plus reference to the Lone Ranger and Tonto

[@aletmartins6940]

Please do I wanna talk about ME! It is hilarious and that’s a good way to remember Toby.❤

It's also a great country rap that you would love. Give it a listen.

[@floridaboy6051]

Most people under the age of fifty would have NO idea who Marshal Dillon, Miss Kitty, or Gene (Autry) and Roy (Rogers ) are. 😊

[@ohaleno]

I was born and raised in Oklahoma never liked country until I heard Toby And Brooks and Dunn (Dunn is from my home Town of Tulsa) everything changed! We okies will miss the big Dawg! RIP

[@dustincanaan9069]

"Should've Been a Cowboy" was the most played song on country radio in the 1990's. Keith & Brad Paisley have the most comedic music videos from the early 2000's. You need to check out many more of them!

Please react to Toby Keith singing a song he wrote for his dear friend, Wayman Tisdale, who died of cancer. It is titled Crying For Me aka Waymans Song. Yes you could dance your cares away at a country club. ❤😁

Wayman Tisdale didn't die unexpectedly. He had cancer and was under chemotherapy. His condition was deteriorating when he passed.

She just won her 4th Album of the Year. I think he's pretty proud.

"Cryin' For Me" (Wayman's song) is definitely one to check out. One of my fav TK songs is "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You"

[@757optim]

The world is a lesser place without Toby. (It helps if you were familiar with "Gunsmoke" and the classic cowboy heroes - Gene Autry & Roy Rogers.)

[@PeggyBookout]

Toby Keith was my daughter's first concert. He was amazing she also got a guitar pick thrown from the stage. He is one of my favorite artists and more importantly song writers. He was recently inducted into the songwriter hall of fame which meant the world to him. Rest in peace my friend your job is done but your words will live on and bless people forever.

[@j.t.3798]

I just found out. Damn, my heart is heavy. God bless his spirit and family. My wife was just diagnosed with breast cancer, 48 y.o. please pray for her health, my sweet wife Ilene.

[@itsspiritual8645]

When people request prayer for serious health issues you might inform them about this option. THE PRAYER OF FAITH IN JAMES: Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:13-15 New King James Version In Jesus' Name (God of Possible) song by - Katy Nichole kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGmXgaSImb9qlbs

[@nancyaylward1176]

Toby Keith was a great Patriot and a Beautiful Human Being. He will be missed all around the world. You’re Latino, so am I! I was raised on a farm and have been dancing country for years. As Barbara Mandrell sang, “I WasCountry, When Country Wasn’t Cool.” Country dancing starts out with a good Partner!

[@itsspiritual8645]

When someone like Toby Keith dies and you feel like you want to cry, I say, I want my tears to be for Jesus Christ. Toby hung onto Him for strength in the end. I was surprised because it sounded like he was beating the cancer and then this. What really makes him a hero is his support for the guys in the military. He made numerous trips in hot spots to entertain and support them.

[@margricks]

Well, I'm sure Keith wants to be with his family and NOT DEAD. Your god is mean, cruel and vicious. Who's stronger? The so-called "devil" or your "god"????

[@itsspiritual8645]

@@margricks A simple way to see it is that we're in a Biblical Spiritual War between Christ and Satan for the dominion of this country and this planet. God is allowing Satan to have his way for now so the universe that's looking on can see the results of Satan’s rebellion and his government. There will come a time when it will get so bad that God will bring it to a stop and Jesus Christ will return. Choose you this day who you will serve, Jesus Christ of Satan! There is no third option! People are taking sides even if they are unaware of it. The democrat party is Anti-Christian!

[@jillhaas2144]

@@margricksI think Jesus sat and comforted Toby throughout his life, but especially at the end. He said so himself

[@margricks]

@@jillhaas2144 Just my point. "At the end". Why was he allowed to get cancer in the first place? Couldn't your god have stopped it? Keith suffered. His family suffered watching him slowly die a painful death. Like I said - mean, cruel and vicious. I'm sure he would want to be with his family for at least another 25 or 30 yrs. So sad and needless.

[@ginatate6569]

A friend from my hometown was over Toby Keith's security, and he always talked about what a great guy he was and how much he enjoyed working with and for him.

[@neldadavis2793]

Line dancing. Everyone will teach you. Those cowboys and cowgirls. Love Toby so much.

[@daniellewilkes2384]

When I was younger I thought this song was about my grandparents when the song says just like Gene and Roy their names were Jean and Roy. Every time I hear this song I remember them and miss them. ❤

​@janetmcneil5503 yep even Miss Kitty ... and Marshal Dillon

[@amberclark5533]

My Daddy is a cowboy. He cried the other day. And when you see an older cowboy cry its because their heart is broken. Each generation only gets a few really important life changing musicians. Toby changed more than one generation.

[@StormKing757]

The Gene and Roy mentioned, are Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. They are two of the biggest names in the western film genre. Gene Autry was known as the singing cowboy, and Roy Rogers was known as the king of the cowboys.

[@galerios1]

My parents brought me up on country music legends like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, etc. Old school country western. I fell in love with those classic songs. Then I heard Toby for the first time. He paid tribute to older country while still carving his own path in the genre. He had funny songs, serious songs, heartfelt songs, and patriotic songs. He was a legend. Knowing that I will never hear a new Toby Keith song is so sad. RIP legend. Also Willie Nelson and Toby Keith were very good friends and a great song to check out is "I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[@bearclawakin]

Toby Keith helped get through my grandmother's passing I just got of the phone and 5 minutes later on cmt the video for crying for me went. I was fan of his music before but after that I heard that song and watched the video I felt a connection to his music more than any other artist

This is when I fell in love with Toby❤ I have a VHS tape that contains 5 songs - 1) Should Have Been A Cowboy 2) He Ain't Worth Missing 3) A Little Less Talk and A Lot More Action 4) Wish I Didn't Know Now 5) Who's That Man Cannot tell you how many times a day I played this. Hmmm, where did I pur yhat VHS player 🤔

[@JessBecause77]

This was my first Toby song. I was 15 and my little sister was 14 and pregnant with twins. Whenever this song came on they would start dancing in the womb. She gave them up for adoption and this song will always have a special place in my heart. ❤ RIP Toby 😢

[@dalcaY]

In my younger years, there was a group of us that would go to a honky tonky often. There was one girl that made me two step with her every time this song was played

[@wilmaoberfrank1374]

[@1Elgant]

LOVED TOBY KEITH for years. He was proud to be an American and the fun videos. My heart breaks..

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

I remember where I was when I first heard this song. I'm driving to a client's, I've got the radio up and the DJ announces a song by a brand new artist by the name of Toby Keith. By the middle of Should've Been A Cowboy I'm tapping the steering wheel and chair dancing. I remember thinking that this song will go to #1...And it did. I've been a fan of his music since that moment. I'll sure miss Toby.

[@katy4639]

One of those songs that brings back amazing memories!! That period of country music was wonderful. You’re absolutely right about the harder lifestyle: It’s immeasurably rewarding. My father did everything which means we did too. Homeschooled, when it was over for the day, hauling wood, staining lumber, preparing meals. A life for which I’m always thankful.

[@Carolyn-fb8is]

This made me cry…I will miss this voice….and I too should have been a cowgirl!❤️🐴

[@codyhop193]

I'm 38 years old. It's a miracle I'm not a cowboy because of this song, i was so obsessed with it as a kid! lol

[@kevinhicks1108]

Toby was totally down to earth too. I remember whenI lived in ND, he stopped into our local grocery store (very small town, no restaurant) and asked the store owner if she could make him a baloney sandwich. He was on his bike on his way up to Sturgis and needed lunch. Was just him, no entourage, no body guards (not that he needed them,the man was built), just him on his bike. He stuck around for probably an hour, just chatting with people, signing a few autographs, and enjoying his plain baloney sandwich!

[@heatherbrenner8275]

I'm going to go against the grain a little bit and suggest "Big Blue Note" and "Hope on the Rocks" they're less popular, less player but still great songs. Dig deep in that Toby Keith library. Love the reactions. RIP Toby Keith. I know I'm not the only one that this is the first time they cared at all about a celebrity passing away. He was part of my life even though we never met

[@karendavis2668]

This is probably the first song I remember of his. I've always loved it. His voice is very unique and memorable 😍

[@PatriciaWoliver-xh3of]

Sebs, if you like Toby and his videos that make you laugh and love life, check out his video called "Trailerhood". I watched his videos all day, laughing and crying. We have lost a wonderful person, both in song and in personality. I had the privilege of seeing him live 3 times. God bless you Toby. Sure you'll be singing to them angels.

[@sylviafarese8837]

Another good one is WE WERE IN LOVE.

[@sedatedape315]

During my bartender days I lost a job at an alternative dance gay night club. I was lucky enough to (quickly) land a gig at a newly opening Country & Western gay dance club. Besides a much nicer crowd, (I was seeing someone) the dance HUGE floor was never empty. But ANYTIME our DJ dropped a Toby song..the dance floor was PACKED! 😱 It was hat-brim to hat-brim out there! It was our only true "quiet time" behind the bar. Time to wash glasses, empty ashtrays, and restock beer. "Play Toby, we're slammed back here" was common weekend nights. 🍻🍻🍻 Oh, and sorry Seb....I've yet to see a lot of "free-style", single person dancing at a C&W dance club. Except for line dances! And at least once a night the dance would the "Electric Slide"! My favor solo-ish dance since I got two left feet! 😁😁😁

[@rmrjmr]

When my son was little he used to sing it as “let my sister ride my pony on the cattle drive.” 🤭🩵

[@blaked2893]

Toby Keith had a spectacular way to tell a story. It have a sense of how he was and you could hear the truth behind what he wrote down. Now I’m not a big country fan by any stretch of the imagination. I’m a metal head punk kid but I’m a musician first and can always appreciate someone who has a no BS policy and speaks from the heart.

I’ve been listening to Toby all day and and watching someone else experience some of his music for the first time just warms my heart. REST IN PEACE TOBY KEITH

Forever my karaoke song. Toby Keith was one of my earliest introductions to country music growing up. I wore his greatest hits CD out. Fuck cancer.

[@lawwdogg1digr]

This was his break out hit. Paved the road for everything TK! 💔 His greatest attribute was being a faithful husband and a great father!

His band the Easy Street band was so good. He would play this song and we would all go crazy cause it was so good. So when it came out on the radio in 92 we were like OMG that is Tody Keith.
