Quotes

“I should've been a cowboy.I should've learned to rope and ride.Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on a cattle driveStealing the young girls' heartsJust like Gene and RoySinging those campfire songs.I should've been a cowboy.”
“Oh he ain't worth missin'Oh we should be kissin'Stop all this foolish wishin'He ain't worth missin'I know your head is turnin'I know your heart is burnin'Girl you gotta listenDon't you know he ain't worth missin'”
“I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know thenI wish I could start this whole thing over againI'm not sayin' it's you could never be trueI just don't wanna know how it endsYou'd still have my heart in the palm of your handsI'd still look like a fool in front of your friendsYeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then.”
“That's my house and that's my carThat's my dog in my backyardThere's the window to the roomWhere she lays her pretty headI planted that tree out by the fenceNot long after we moved inThat's my kids and that's my wifeWho's that man, runnin' my life?”
“Yeah I'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel driveChrome steel bumpers and red step sideShe has a large time in her large machineMan I wonder how she gets up in that thingIt casts a big shadow sittin' in the sunShe's got it revved up rockin' ready to runAnd someday soon I'm gonna climb right upAnd take a little ride in her big ol' truck.”
“Lately I've been lookin' through the windows of my soulAnd I can see there's not much left to holdJust an empty space surrounded by the pieces ofA badly broken heart that's forgotten how to love.”

Toby Keith Covel (July 8, 1961 – February 5, 2024) was an American country music singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and businessman. He began using the stage name Toby Keith early in his music career.

Keith released his chart-topping debut single, "Should've Been a Cowboy", in 1993. During the 1990s, Keith released his first four studio albums, each of which earned gold or higher certification. Keith's breakthrough single, "How Do You Like Me Now?!", was the title track to his 1999 album How Do You Like Me Now?! The single was the number one country song of 2000. Keith's next three albums were certified 4× Platinum, and each album produced three number one singles. In 2005, Keith founded the label Show Dog Nashville, which later became Show Dog-Universal Music. Keith also made his acting debut in 2006, starring in the film Broken Bridges. He co-starred with comedian Rodney Carrington in the 2008 film Beer for My Horses, inspired by his song "Beer for My Horses".
