I think it’s the human minds inability to let go of opportunity or say goodbye to people OR things. That’s what it comes down to - goodbyes are a malfunction of the human mind
found out toby passed away just a few hours ago...my heart is absolutely broken...had to comment on my fave song of his...RIP Toby, you will forever be missed😢❤️🇺🇲
RIP Toby!!! As a young black man back in the '90s he was one the New Country singers I started listening to and I would get strange reaction from people of all races when I would sing this song. The man had a great voice and created some great music and memories. He will be missed! Praying GOD comforts his family during this hard time. Again, RIP TOBY!!!!
I never knew music had "color restrictions" most of my favorite singers musicians groups are black artists real artists from the 50's 60's and 70's when music was great (no I'm not that old I just like the great music) , was I not supposed to like them (TS) I did and still do , anyone heard of 🕊CHARLIE PRIDE🕊 pure country !!!
We lost him today, I feel sick, I thought he was going to live forever. Thanks for the memories, Toby. I will listen to your music until I end my days too.
Toby was first taste of country music for me and i never forget it, i salut today for Toby and raise my glass for him. Im gonna miss him. Listening his legacy music in here Finland.
He will no doubt live forever, not just in his stories and our memories, but also GREAT music never passes away, and he made many GREAT SONGS that no doubt they still help even new "fans" smile away many tears and laugh away some fears; even now as he is missed =[
Love you Toby keith. First heard his music in 1994 as a 6 year old. My parents got divorced right before this song came out. It had an effect on a 6 year old boy. He reminded me of my Dad. Rip toby for all time
If there's Music in Heaven, you know they must have one heck of a Band. Rest In Peace Toby (Legend) Keith Job Well Done, Sir ♡ Toby through your music & video's you will NEVER be forgotten. John 3 :16...Everlasting life in heaven., Toby was a Genius!
This one helped me through a divorce during a difficult time with separation from what I knew and my kids. Both sons .now 30 and 33 and their mom and I are very close friends still. We are the best non married people. Thanks Toby for the one that helped. RIP Mr Keith
He was married for almost 40 years when he passed. When I hear this song, I know that I once lived this. But he never did. The fact he could write this heart felt song without experiencing it, tell me what a great songwriter he was. He always wanted to be a songwriter first and he was. But he was much more. RIP Toby, you were one of a kind.
Rest in peace Toby 🙏🏼🙏🏼 it’s 4:30am on 2-6-24 it’s my birthday 🥳 we lost you last night my man I’ll listen to this stuff the rest of my life thank you for the music and lessons 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@anthonyflores5972 Therapy helps some. Also helps to remember that you can't do anything about it but be the best dad you can be when you do have your daughter. This realization helps some. Hope you are ok.
Try finding out you have a kid 34 you never met, while his mother lied to him and came clean 34 year later. My son I never knew reached out. It hurts not knowing.
Living your best life is the best way, I know this song is my life.. The moment I forgave and started down a new path with a david goggins modivation everything changes.@@Cobyshierss1998
Mate, my dad wrote this for his GCSE's over here in England, Toby reached out to my dad after hearing it and my dad gave him the right to use it. And that's the story of how I could have been a multi millionaire
We knew you had a special talent and enjoy ALL your music, silly or meaningful. But we only realize now, we will never hear any new songs. The best to leave us with , Don't Let The Old Man In. Thanks to Clint asking you to write for his movie, The Mule. We are grateful for you sharing so much of your life with the fans. Also the sacrifice your family went thru. Your wife and kids gave us a great gift of sharing you with us. GOD BLESS the family, we love you all. THANKS just isn't enough...
Rest Easy Toby. This has always been one of my favorite songs. You sure did make Oklahoma proud. You and Wayman must be having one heck of a party up in Heaven
How could he write a song about my life miss my kids and the life i had but life goes on just had a son again love my lil guy hope i dont mess this one up love you everette
I was Toby's guitar player from 1983-1999 Your listening to one of Toby's and I favorite songs we ever did. And of course "Should'a been a Cowboy" My friend Toby is very sick. If your listening to this Please Pray for him
Our deepest prayers to Toby, we need him. Thanks for working with him, so lucky. Keep the faith, God will bless us with his talent for years to come. PRAY...
Believe it or not this song got me through a real hard time in my marriage. Never wanted to live this in reality, so fought real hard to get through those times. Kids are now grown...still married. Thanks Toby. Bet you never thought this would help keep anyone married!
Now thats a refreshing twist on life. bcs had you gone through the big d .. you would be forever a darker version of yourself. Ask me how I know. The pain is real and Toby was inspired I believe to write this. You got a rare chance at a second lease on life. -To be able to feel the horror of watching someone suffer (the children) and can do nothing. Thanks for the surprisingly wonderful tale of the good side of such a "frightening " song❤ May your family grow with the ages
Why do all the good ones leave us too soon.Toby will be missed so much.True Patriot.Gave his time for our servicemen and women.Gave his time to Charities.Ride high in the sky Toby.Heaven gained a true cowboy .Sing in the Choir of Heaven .Rip 🙏😭❤️Many prayers for his wife and family
Saw this video on CMT yesterday morning. I had completely forgotten about it since I hadn't seen it since it was new, but I remembered almost every single word when I heard it.
My husband used to really like this song and he showed it to me and anytime we heard it or watched this video we would get a little teary-eyed that's for sure. This video will really make you feel for that man, and what a lot of men go through probably in a divorce like that... It's gotta be incredibly hard. I can't even imagine. Without your wife, without your precious children, only visiting with them, and your sweet dog or any other animals you had together... And to see that your wife has moved on, It's gotta be such a heartbreaker... So I feel for men across the country going through that for sure... I sure miss my husband and wish I could watch this with him and rest in peace to him and Toby Keith...❤
*I have great memories while in Oklahoma and Texas and other places listening to these lovely music in 70s and 80s. Especially my first CD I bought was a collection of of Kenny Rogers. Thank you RUclips for such collections💖👍*
l agree with you, indeed Toby Keith is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
😢😢😢 This Song told the story of part of my life at times during Life's Journey .. Thank You Toby Keith for the Song that also Helped Me and Helped Me to Change to not be that Person that I was Running My Life 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤ RIP LEGENDARY TOBY KEITH 🙏🙏🙏
My parents divorced when I was 5 years old and my dad told me that this song was a good representation of how he felt. I didn't really understand at the time, but I do now and it hurts.
I am so sad about TobyPray that he beats this.He is my favorite country singer.I have been through prostate cancer Had radiology treatments and I believe that has it under control now.Hang in there buddy
RIP Mr. Toby Keith. This was my favorite song by Toby. Such a great song that really hits the heart for any man that is no longer with his wife and kids. Relationships always don’t work out. I think a lot of men can relate to this song. Thank you Toby Keith for this classic song and your entire catalog of music. You are at peace now sir.
I have been listening to this song for years, & I was today years-old, when I realized that this song was not a proud boast of his accomplishments, but actually about his wife getting a divorce from him & shacking up with another man, & how THAT man is enjoying the benefits of his labor.
@@jillgregory8640, well, that could be. He doesn't really explain that, either way in the song. However, with this new understanding of the lyrics, it sounds to me like he's resenting this guy for basically taking his place in his family. So my assumption was that she booted him out. But Idk for sure. If the song is based on events in his real life, perhaps this can be researched. But I don't care enough to do it. 😁
I thank God that he didn't ever see this happen in his life. A 40 year marriage fixed that. I cry for his early departure.😢 He raised our patriotism after 9/11 and gave our troops motivation to fight. He helped children fight cancer. A light has dimmed across the nation. R.I.P. sir. Well done!😢
Same.. Luckily I was mostly raised by my father and he kept his home. So it doesn’t hurt as much. But I can imagine it hurt him not being to see me those times I was with my mother.
That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love, affection and support you've shown toward my music😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠
l agree with you, indeed Toby Keith is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Someone‘s taking my place in his heart & it hurts like hell. I used to really help him run his life but now things have changed for the worst for me; but the best for him. 😎😎💚
Never cried so much for someone I never met you were the best😢
I think it’s the human minds inability to let go of opportunity or say goodbye to people OR things. That’s what it comes down to - goodbyes are a malfunction of the human mind
HEAVEN GAINED A COWBOY .....RIP TOBY
They sure did .. 😢
Cowboy fought to the very very end!❤❤ They are having a huge party for him up there!!
Goodbye Toby Keith I see you again in heaven.
I miss him so much
Who’s is the man running my life is sad
A piece of America died when you went to live with the holy lord
💔 Noooo! Today?
@@JennaJones-xr2meyes sadly

Just damn. They don't come along every century.
No matter the genre, good music is just that. And all people can enjoy the great songs!
Country music will never sound like this again. RIP to Toby and the golden age of country music.
This one hurts. This song helped me get through the times when my ex kept me from my kids.
This one helped me through a divorce during a difficult time with separation from what I knew and my kids. Both sons .now 30 and 33 and their mom and I are very close friends still. We are the best non married people. Thanks Toby for the one that helped. RIP Mr Keith

Amen
It was her dog too, hope she's not heartless!

RIP Toby Keith. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the city of Moore and the state of Oklahoma.
He did help put Moore on the map in Oklahoma. I grew up in that area and always loved his music.
RIP Toby

Amazing song. Listen over n over. Reminds me of what my father went through. Love u dad. U did a great job. Truly a blessing.
R.I.P Toby Keith .. you will live on in our hearts and through your music. We love you
I have been listening to this song for years, & I was today years-old, when I realized that this song was not a proud boast of his accomplishments, but actually about his wife getting a divorce from him & shacking up with another man, & how THAT man is enjoying the benefits of his labor.
I thought he left the family and she had to start over 🧐
@@jillgregory8640,
well, that could be. He doesn't really explain that, either way in the song. However, with this new understanding of the lyrics, it sounds to me like he's resenting this guy for basically taking his place in his family. So my assumption was that she booted him out. But Idk for sure.
If the song is based on events in his real life, perhaps this can be researched. But I don't care enough to do it. 😁
@@PBandJTime probably my own bias from being left and having to start over. 😂
My friends all love that scream o metal. I never cared for it. I introduced them to 90s country. Now they love it especially when I bbq
Loved Toby my whole life, and he will be missed . Just a legend.
I can't take it lord please give back TOBEY😢
I thank God that he didn't ever see this happen in his life. A 40 year marriage fixed that. I cry for his early departure.😢 He raised our patriotism after 9/11 and gave our troops motivation to fight. He helped children fight cancer. A light has dimmed across the nation. R.I.P. sir. Well done!😢
Gonna miss you bub. Rest in peace until we meet again ❤❤❤
Rest In Peace Toby Keith❤ your music was always on my Playlists through the years. And will continue to be on my Playlists.
ripWhat a American Icon. Sure will miss his music and him. Rip
I love and Hate this song I was the guy driving the truck! Been there !😮
He left a legacy of beautiful lyrics music. .
RIP Toby. This classic was the story of my life when it came out in 1995...😔
Amazing thanks for the wonderful times Mr. Keith take care sweet dreams may you be loved forever more.
Damn man this song is a tough one to sit through without tearing up. I was once one of the kids
Same.. Luckily I was mostly raised by my father and he kept his home. So it doesn’t hurt as much. But I can imagine it hurt him not being to see me those times I was with my mother.
Me too, my brother drove me to go see my dad after 10 years of not seeing each other many moons ago. This song will live forever.
i love toby keith kept me entertained and i'll see him in heaven😍🥰🤩😀
Toby Keith has so many classics. He is one of the greats of country music. They don’t make music like this anymore :(
