    I think thats because toby exceeded the limitations of genre that he created a lane of patriotic music for all americans... if shit hits the fan and the commies invade you will be able to tell if they are a spy by simply saying because well break a boot off in your ass and seeing if they know the rest of the verse

    Made me cry. I'm 50 years old and we've lost so many in country music since I was a kid but man this just hits different. Toby brought so many people from all walks of life together through his music, his patriotism, his charity, his no nonsense, his faith, his strength and his courage. I know he has a spot in the angels choir.

    I’m a 28 year old that listens to rap and rnb regularly and even this touched me. Toby brought me lots of memories as a little boy and some of my closest times I’ve had with my family involved jamming to Toby Keith with my parents. My father is now the same age as Toby as well (hell of a country singer) so it really made me really reflect on my life and focus more on the times we have with our loved ones.. this world is gonna miss Toby.

Drank that down and got a Hell of a buzz!! Slept like a baby until first call!

And, we all have a hole in our heart for those we have loved and lost. Some friends can never be replaced no matter how much time passes or what happens in our lives. This song should be put on every country radio station in the country. Thanks for writing this. It's written on our hearts forever. It's a song we all live but never sang. Brilliant! Rest in peace, Toby. ❤❤❤

    I think you're a great singer! I'm an Oklahoma girl. The first time I ever saw Toby was at ground zero of the Oklahoma City bombing. I'm a nurse and at that time we were still hopeful we'd find survivors. Well, this big, tall guy showed up and he told them to give him a list of what they needed. They did and he went and bought what was on that list. For me, it was love at first sight, that he cared enough about our community to do that. None of the other Oklahoma talent cared enough to do anything like what that great man did. Toby Keith was a legend, a true Patriot! He was a man of faith, so I know he's in a good place. RIP Toby.💔🇺🇸❤

Which I love, but I kinda feel like you don't have a choice as a kid. I love his energy and his music. So many country stars came out in the 90s that were different from Mom's country. But it was different for me with him. I can listen to his music all day every day and never tire of it. RIP Toby Keith. My Dad's a Vietnam Vet that went twice. 🙏❤️ I love that song.

    Ditto Karenlovesforrest: The words to the song attach themselves to your heart, I was washing dishes and this song came on tiktok so of course It took me by surprise listening to the words. It hit me like a ton of bricks, being the things we go through in life's ups and downs the people we meet the family we've known in our lives. Seems there's many songs that touch our hearts and the thoughts in our journey. It hurts very deep as we reminisce many things in our travels. After I heard this song repeating 8 times being I was washing dishes, about the third time I took note of the words and thoughts came flooding in. RIP TOBY !! will see you again in a higher frequency which you have passed through. Sometimes Music and Movies hit us in weird ways. Such as watching the movie "What dreams may come" omg I've never in my life cried this much after watching this. But I connected. Ya see throughout growing up my sister, brother and I being the youngest never really was anyone's favorite, never got the hugs and affection, I straggled throughout never really had a girl friend until I was 17yrs-old and stayed away because I knew what it's like to have someone in life you think the world of then one day their gone. There's just to much pain, and I know it's a lesson learned and when you get to close to others like I have ya just don't want to go through the intense pain all over again. So today that's why I live alone with my Black lab. it's all the unconditional love I need at this time in life. Take care all that visits this song tribute. Be kind to one another and god protect you all God Bless everyone and to Toby Keith. 💖🙏🙏🙏

My older brother was a Marine ('87 to '91). Was a US Embassy guard for 3 years. I enlisted in the Army in '89. Shipped to Germany (like Dad). Got hand-picked to deploy to Desert Storm in '91, just because I was going through the process of getting a top-secret clearance. Big bro' and Dad already had that.

    As an ultra liberal from NY I LOVED Toby Keith. He was a gracious man and a great performer. His reach extends to people of all backgrounds. Didn’t give two craps that I disagreed with him on certain things. His friendships with those different from him proved that he was a good man

    Your political beliefs are opposite of mine. God gave us a gift with music. It breaks boundaries. Mutual respect for your fellow man or woman is a beautiful thing. One of my best friends is a lifelong liberal. We have nickname for each other “liberal” and “Tea Pot”. Often when we talk, we just talk about baseball and how we don’t pay attention to politics much anymore. Good luck staying sane this election year.

    He gave so many hope when they had none , He brought the light back to a country that was getting dark , He gave freedom back to people who felt it was close to gone ! He was everything good that this country could be , During tragedy and war and 9/11 His songs pulled use through ! He was a true Hero ! God has the best angle and he has red white and blue wings ! God bless Toby Keith ! This country needed Him and he gave it all for the people and this land ! The cross to bear is mine and I will bear the cross because freedom don’t come free !!! I will miss waiting for his next song and when he spoke he gave hope to many who’s lost hope ! When you can’t sleep at night and you worry about your family your friends your community and the people of this country and then you hear the song that there is some big dog willing to fight for that peace and the freedom of every person in this country ! And finally you close your eyes and rest ! Just because one great man cared ! He will never know how much he did for so many people ! It’s to bad every person in this country loved this country and it’s people as much as he did ! We would be living in the light and many lives would be saved ! He saved many people with just his words and his songs ! There will never be another Toby Keith but I wish there were more like him ! Heaven is shining the stars are brighter , and god knows he got the best cowboy on earth ! God bless my friend !

    Thank you so much for your tribute to Toby. I remember when he started out on his own because he KNEW he had something special and he did. Awesome tribute. Beautiful. Thank you We all Miss Toby. Actually, back 20+ yrs ago I was living in the country in an old refurbished farm house with Toby Keith CD cranked up to the max and dancing, barefoot on hardwood floor. I felt something snap in my right knee and sure enough it was a torn meniscus. Now that I'm 75, it's getting worse, but I will always remember when, where and why it happened. I named that torn meniscus "Toby". God Bless Toby Keith and God Bless the USA!

    I am a 56 yo retired LEO. I have seen so many stars in my career. Some have gone on and some are still with us. As I get closer to the finish line of my life I realize so much how great we have had it in this country. I worked directly with the Toby Keith show and stood outside his bus as a final layer of security for him and his band after the show. This was where they held an after party. As a few fans were allowed to enter the bus, I was impressed by the genuineness of Toby Keith with these fans. The respect that was shown to these people was better than any other show I had seen. I already held a great deal of appreciation for his music being patriotic and inspirational but after that show he became my favorite performer.
