Thank you for thanking me but I was just a unusually bright kid from the woods., Looking back, I just did it with a little bit of self awareness, we did have some swagger.

Ain't it sad that at the time Toby was literally the only one that could sing that song for Jr. & now who? George's song Who's gonna fill their shoes is coming true.
Good God, can you imagine standing not 5 feet in front of Hank Williams Jr. singing HIS song to HIM? That takes balls...and talent. Thankfully Toby has both. 🖤
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!
Thank the Lord that we have videos and audio recordings of this great man and all of the other great artists that have left this life!!! Even though there body has been laid to rest,,, THEY'RE VOICES AND GREAT RECORDINGS AND SONGS WILL LIVE ON FOR MANY DECADE'S! REST IN PEACE MR. TOBY KEITH! AND MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
I saw both toby and hank in concert.... unfortunatly.... Toby's work on earth...is done...I wish I could thank you in person... but your on a mountain!
Toby Keith done a wonderful job singing this song not any country singer can do this but I'll be damned if he didn't do it rest in peace Toby Keith we'll see you on this other side and you sure will be missed my friend
Rip, Toby. Man, we already miss you in Oklahoma. You should see the stage full of flowers at hollywood corner right now, he was very loved here! We are calling for the city of Moore to paint the water tower (which already says "home of toby keith") like a red solo cup, its only fitting. Today at the OU VS OSU basketball game in Norman, all beverages will be served in red solo cups. For those that dont know, Toby was THE BIGGEST Sooner fan. Last game there was a guitar, red solo cup and a Sooner hat in his seat, i hope it stays just as it was FOREVER!! We miss you, Toby! We will not forget you. I wish he could hear everyone jamming his stuff right now, local stations are playing a lot of it. I hate it that he is gone, really leaves a hole in our Okie world. Everyone crank the Toby songs up when they come on, i know i will continue to! God bless and Boomer Sooner!!!!!
I’ll say this over and over, folks like Alan Jackson and Toby Kieth are just rare. They are a dying breed. They absolutely MAKE country music along with the greats. Like listen to that cover!
Alan Jackson IS one of the greats now. But yeah I agree. I’m so blessed to have finally seen him on his final tour last fall. Long live REAL country music!!!!!
First time I saw this video clip, and I could not hold back the tears! 2 men who are like Gods among us mere mortals. They believe in God, Family, and Country!!! I was blessed to be serving this great country in the US Army for 33 years and was able to meet Toby Keith in 2006 while in Iraq! He was extremely humble and I met one of my heroes that day!
This song has a lot of meaning in this day and age. Country boys are going to need to help teach this country how to survive someday again when it all hits the fan!
That's true! I've become a country boy since a couple of months and I totally agree with you. Although I live in Eastern Europe, I feel it and I'm identifying myself with this song.
Wow Toby Keith is a man among boys in Country Music! You could tell how much the song ment to both Hank Williams Jr and Toby Keith. It felt like a tremendous honor coming from both legends. Class act!!
Yeah and a good job Toby did. As good as hank in my opinion but what can you say about a boy that sings about putting a boot up someone's ass? Songs are supposed to reflect life and not so much about generating revenue for a bunch of rich assholes with enough lawyers to screw you 10 ways to next Tuesday. Music is supposed to reflect real life and that is where the "soul" comes from. What we have now is making a bunch of assholes richer.
@@suedenk737 Sue, are you serious about chew? Do you even know what it makes you look like? I wouldn't date anyone who chewed ever! There is just something wrong with snuggling next to your guy while he spits in a cup. Kind of kills the romance part. Who wants to kiss you after that?
I had pictures in my kitchen when I was in my mid 20’s of Hank Williams Jr. , when I meet my now husband he was surprised to see them on the wall! He knew by seeing the photos that I love country music!I’m still love country classic music . Toby did a great job singing the song,his voice fit perfectly with the lyrics
Toby Keith nailed it….What a performance. You made Hank proud, country fans proud and everybody that just loves a great ending! Ty….Hank…you Da Man! ❤❤❤! 🦌🦌🦌🦌!
I'm very particular about country music, I'll admit it, that being said I love Hank Williams Jr. and this is my favorite song of his and I will definitely say that Toby Keith did a fantastic job. I also saw an interview with him and Sammy Hagar before he passed away and I thought he seemed like a really great person and he was definitely talented. God rest his soul.
@@Ineversetupautubechannel You have no idea who I am and what I am. I'm not a hillbilly and I'm not a cowboy. I am an engineer and scientist who loves country music and all kinds of music. What Hank is talking about is American pioneer spirit to deal with anything, and I agree with it. Being able to take care of yourself is an asset in my book. We need more of it. By the way, some of the brightest people I've ever met are hillbillies and cowboys. They have nothing to be ashamed of. If you don't believe in God or anything else, that's your choice, even if it's a bad choice. Now take care and be safe.
don't know how many 'african-americans' i've heard say...how much they hate this song....sing it amongst themselves... when they think they have the majority...yet we are the prejudiced ones...
Truly shows how epic and great Toby is to sing this song in front of the man who created it, and pulled it off as a masterpiece really. Just dang. You will always be my favorite Toby in country, hands down.
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. Love and prayers to his Friends & family,
I think Toby owns this song...you can tell he gets into it as he goes along, and respecting the master all the while! Good job TK to a legend who perhaps wrote the best country song ever, Hank Williams Jr.
This song makes me fight and continue on. I have heart failure and was treated in Scott Baylor Dallas TX. My chances have improved from 12% to 84% surviving this challenger. With many prayers from friends and family along with treatments by Baylors medical staff a country boy can survive... I'm also a transplant from NYC. In the 70s, my parent packed up and moved to NM and that was another event that made me survive..
Started listening to country music with Toby. Now my 6 year old nephew’s favourite song is red solo cup. 22 years old ima teach these young kids the right way
That's the only man that could stand in front of Bocephus himself and sing that song. Both are LEGENDS! RIP Toby
He will be missed 😢
Toby Keith A True American, gone to soon and will Never be Forgotten RIP🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Absolutely! What a voice he had! RIP Toby!❤
❤ 100% 👊
Nuff said right there
Rip Toby ❤️😭
Can't believe Toby is gone, the one guy who could truly sing Hank Jr's song.
RIP Toby
He got it just like bocephus
I know, I'm in denial myself. RIP Toby
Hey he’s gonna meet Hank senior and all the other legends
Amen!!
Yes rip Toby
Hank williams jr proved that a country boy can survive
A country boy LIVES FOREVER in heaven. RIP Tobe
Amen.

Toby was a legend. RIP. You can see how cancer ravished his body seeing this video from 6 yrs ago. His songs will live on forever......
This was only reuploaded 6 years ago, I believe this original series aired in 2007 almost 20 years ago. This was Toby in his prime
I wish this country boy had survived. 😢 He battled bravely. Nobody can replicate TK. RIP Toby. We LOVE YOU MAN!
