Toby, I hope u know what a difference you made for the armed forces at a time when u were desperately needed… we will always appreciate you 🦅
Thank you for your service and welcome home soldier 🫡
You're damn right we will. I saw him for one of those uso shows. The man gave me a hug we talked for a few minutes and I got to let him know how his music was there as an integral part of the soundtrack of my life for so many years throughout the 90s. Like when I met my daughter's mother. Took advantage I want to hear songs playing in the background and I got that first kiss and yeah a little army of daughters later yep hahaha. Unfortunately yeah you're divorced now. I was in tears when I learned of this man's passing.
🫡🇺🇸🙏
Say hello to my daddy sir. He died of Cancer in 09. I was 7. He had me grow up on your tunes and I am a better man for it 🙏🧡
I’m sorry for your loss…. 7 years old without ur dad is rough. Blessings to you and ur family always 💕🙏
This is the song that put Toby Keith on the map. Big Time!
Rest in peace Toby. You certainly made an impact on this world. Prayers for your family
And what a great tune it is. Just love all your music you are absolutely awesome. So hope you are doing well. Like to see you out there again. Best wishes for you and your family.
Hi Toby .... it's interesting how hearing a phrase can get your brain putting a whole song together and a real good one at that. Take care.
Love you Toby ! Prayers sent ! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Mr. Keith, I’m not usually a big fan of country music that came after the 80s, but you stayed true to the old sound with your own spin on it, and for that, I must truly respect you, sir.
Personally, I think it's the best country song ever written. I'm not a huge country fan, but when I listen to it, there's gotta be some Toby, or I'm not gonna stay listening long.
It’s a funny story to a beautiful song. I tell it to all my friends and family who like country music. It always gets a good laugh, so T keep making people smile!
You are a wonderful and great country singer. I love your music so much. You made me love country music. Your profound and great songs have often helped me in my life. Farewell Toby. Your music will always be in my heart.❤😢🕯
From a fellow Okie.....so MANY people have great memories of you. You have affected their lives for the better in so many ways. Along with your music, that is your legacy! Fly high cowboy and sing for all the angels. I have alot of family up there listening. Can't wait to join them and you!
i have sang that phrase a million times. Good one.
Rest in peace Toby you were always one of my favorite country singers!🇺🇸🦅
Love this story. God bless you for all your hard work and prayers still being sent to you. Much love to you and your family. I have always been a fan of yours every since you first came out and always will be a fan of yours.
My son has never been a fan of country music. He's more into heavy metal & some old rock. Until he heard, Shoulda Been A Cowboy! He absolutely loves that song. Also, when my oldest grandson was maybe 4 yrs old, he listened to music with me. He loved Toby! When he was maybe 6 or 7, Toby came to Peoria, IL so I took him to the concert. We both loved it & a great memory for both of us ❤️
Dodge city Ks my Great Grandparents used to live there. I absolutely loved the old west when I grew up in the 80s and all the historical scenes.
Just prayers that you get better and better every day. Love that big dog.
Great story, Great song!
Great story, great lyrics, even better song!
Love the story and the song. I'm partial to Dream Walkin'.
I remember when I first started listening to your music I the 1990’s, I was one my way to see you at the Santa Clara County Fair in my Jeep, top off and “Should Have Been a Cowboy” came on the radio !!! I was as Happy as I could be!!! Thanks for the memories and your music!!! Love ya Toby😍
I love this. I am praying for you Toby ❤❤
Hi Toby and wishing you and family a great upcoming year. From a long time fan. 👍
He wrote this song back in the 90s when the dallas cowboys were in every Superbowl for years in a row. The song is every other player on all the other teams wishin they were cowboys
I cried when you sang this song! Wish you would come to Northern, Minnesota! Also wish I could go to your little gas station where u sing ❤️ thinking of u and your family always! God Bless

I love that song! I play it quite often on Amazon music. I've been praying for you.
So many great songs, such obvious love for your craft, and support for kids with cancer through your foundation. Surely you sir will be sorely missed. Rest in the peace of The Lord. 🕊️
Toby Keith ❤🙏 Your love of music and people... You are such a jewel... Thank you for keeping us updated🎉 We are certainly celebrating your bounce back🤗 Congratulations on your total sold out concerts. Should have been a cowboy , one of my favorite songs. God bless and God speed❤🙏
You'll ALWAYS be the best Country Singer alive...and the sexiest too!😘
Great Song,Love and Prayers Always 🖤🙏🎶
That sounds one of my mind and my daughter's favorites going to dance to her wedding when she's older
Hi Toby ! Wishing U Well Hope All Is Good!! Luv, Hugs , Prayers Sent Your Way!! ❤❤❤
Great little song. I sang it in a talent show long ago. Love your work. God bless and fight on 😊
It's a great song.
My scout troop uses American Soldier after Taps for flag retirement. When flags are cut into proper sections then placed into a fire for proper retirement. The next morning, grommets are sifted out. Ashes collected ,placed in a container and laid to rest with honors. Be blessed my brother in Christ.
Love that song! Love all your music. I've been to so many of your concerts!
i love all your songs
Praying for GOD to heal and protect you ..to send you hope and comfort.
Prayers to your family! Thanks for your beauty music
I love this song, as well as Don't Let the Old Man In, and Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. Personally I think that song is a piece of American history, just like Alan Jackson's, Where Were You When the World Stopped Spinning. Praying in Arkansas for your healing.
God Bless Toby for all he does, yep for the Cowboys and the Cowgirls too! Love them songs, can’t do without them!
Toby, am go miss miss you I love this song 😢😢😢. I love you Toby, go to heaven
Toby. Stay strong.
Hello Mr. Toby.... back in the mid-90s and late 90s I worked in a place in Nashville called the Boundary... it was a great time when you showed up... every time I spoke to you you always said hello and I was just a lowly server... thanks for being a nice person to me when I was Starstruck and just wanted to be your friend but I knew that I couldn't... I think you're down to earth fine fellow
HANG IN THERE TOBY.....MAY THE LORD BE WITH US
I used to rodeo in Southern Kansas. Argonia, Conway Springs, Medicine Lodge and Dodge City. Had a horse ranch just outside of Clearwater. Team roper. Just amateurs. When ever local ranchers neded to move cattle from off one pasture to another they called us. We were always happy to oblige. We'd load up our horses and cow dogs, grab some good cheer to put in our saddle bags and move cattle. It was just South of Wichita on what was once the Chisholm trail. My friends and I moved hundreds and hundreds of cattle on the Chisholm trail. I did 23 years in the US military. To this day combat team and cowboy buddies were the best men I've ever met.
Toby keith..when I heard DONT LET THE OLD MAN IN ..in November 2023 I LOVED IT...I cried because my partner of 34 years died of cancer 6 months Pryor...on my birth day March 14..2023...I know he had never heard it ..because if he had...he would of played and sang it EVERYDAY....I LOVE YOU TK...YOUR THE BEST...COME TO SOUTH LOUISIANA PLEASE 🙏 ❤️ 😘
Toby!
story to so many great songs dude. they almost write themselves. song writing is a hell of a drug when you finally get the bug.
Love it that was awesome
I usually say “20 other knuckleheads “ because I resemble that remark.
I've been listening to Marty Haggards praise music. I've found comfort with the lyrics . Jesus loves us and we don't tell him enough we love him. So if you love Jesus and believe he is the way the truth and the life.
God bless you !
Anything is possible with christ our lord.
I love you Jesus !
We miss you Toby.
Been a fan my whole life 🙏 Saddle Up Your Horse And Ride Off To The Heavens Sir 🫡🇺🇸
Mr. Keith you will be greatly missed. I was and continue to be a fan not just of your music but of your dedication to your music and this great country. Angry American put a voice to what we were all feeling after 9-11. I was just a high school kid but I wanted to do something to help so I joined the Army after I graduated. It seems corny but, when I was in basic they were playing American Soldier at the finish to our final ruck march and that was such a proud day for me. Your music was there for important moments that I will never forget. You will not be forgotten, thank you for all you have given us.
Love it
You awesome
Miss you Toby. Hard to know I'm watching a man who has passed on....
What a legend
That song was played after each of the Cowboys' 7 TDs in Super Bowl 27 (Jan 1993). The Rose Bowl was rockin'. It was awesome!
Went to a street dance, and the band lV Play performed it with everyone on the street singing!! It was Awesome!! 👍🎉. Thank-you!!!
We love you and are praying for you!
Yeah, that's when Super Bowl songs were great!! That includes half time shows!! Now, all nasty and lowlife... sad....
I missyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I need to check his first album and listen to to his single
Should’ve Been A Cowboy
Gosh this news of his passing hurts!!!!! Your music will live on!!!
