I can't believe it's already been a month without him. It doesn't even feel real. I just played this on my guitar and started tearing up a lil bit. That cowboy rode off into heaven peacefully. Let us never forget the legend, Toby Keith. R.I.P. Cowboy
I was coming home from work, when this song came on. When it was over, I drove over to the record store, and I bought the CD. I put the cd in the player, put it on Repeat, and by they time I got home, I nearly knew all the lyrics. "I should have been a cowboy." What a great song.
My Grandpa was great friends with this legend, and when he passed away, Toby paid for his funeral expenses and attended mourning for him. RIP Papa Rick
Toby is a true patriot. Saw him in Afghanistan between tours and he was all for the joes as I am. The seniors tried to push the joes back but Toby would not have it! Good man. This is his best song.
+Toney Smith what the hell are you talking about?? Anger much?? Nuking?? King of the battle field by kills? That is an argument there. if it is kills by recent history it is the Air Force, by ancient it is infantry and cav. get your facts right next time and leave the anger home! I was 21b and 19D/19K. I suppose you forgot about the tankers. A joe is a ref to the lower ranks. Has nothing to do with MOS. Figure it out?? It is you with the mental fart problem fool.
I remember crying when I heard this song on the radio when it was new. It has such a child-like romanticism about the life of a cowboy. As adults, we know the life of a cowboy was hard drudgery, riding all day long with saddle sores.
Bob Gulrajani True, but when I was in high school I thought about going to Montana and being a cowboy. As I said in an earlier post, my grandpa was among the last of the real cowboys, I know that influenced my thinking. If God gave me a "do over" I'd be in Montana.
i would've trade this shitty timeline for that,hands down, everytime,no gender swapping racist this racist that feminazi degenerate commie crap,oh i should have been a cowboy!
This song makes me so happy lol I have been obsessed with the Wild West ever since I was a little girl... came home everyday after school and turned on Bonanza 🤘🏼
I remember hearing this on the radio as a child. Every summer I visited my fathers family in northern Idaho, back when towns were still close knit, everyone had a landline and computers still used floppy disks... sounds pretty nice.
toby keith is one of the most underrated c/w singers out there. And he does it to himself, too. Funny videos, silly songs, and only rarely does he let the inner grownup out, and its always magnificent. When he takes himself seriously, he's one of the best.
he's a real down to earth guy I've met him in person uses to have a contract to cut the grass at his place friendlyest celebery I've ever met in oklahoma
This song brings back a lot of memories. I remember listening to it in elementary school. First song I listened to in my first truck. Couple kids and a wife later, I smile when it comes on the radio in the minivan. 😌
RIP Patriot ! You will live forever in America. This song is a classic !😊12.5 million views as of 2-7-2024. Song just keeps getting better ❤️🩹 Thank you for sharing !
This song reminds me of my grandfather who was a cowboy. Suchbgood memories riding on the farm tractor singing this song with him. May my grandfather rest in piece.
I miss real cowboys!! Here's to Marshall Dillon, The Rifleman, Wyatt Earp, Bat Madison, Cheyenne Bodie and all the Cartwrights, especially Hoss. Growing up I watched them all every week because my father was in charge of the t.v. Now I watch them to remember, because there's not any cowboys left to stand up for what's right even if it means they're standing alone.
I can't believe it's already been a month without him. It doesn't even feel real. I just played this on my guitar and started tearing up a lil bit. That cowboy rode off into heaven peacefully. Let us never forget the legend, Toby Keith. R.I.P. Cowboy
Man.... this song has been my jam for the past few days. I went thru a country music phase over 10 years ago and still like some of those good hits from back then. Watching old westerns on tv made me remember this and want to look it up. Hearing it brings back nice memories and makes me feel such a good yet wistful feeling.
You are spot on with your assessment of Toby Keith.If we had more artists and just plain,good old fashioned everyday Americans like Toby Keith our country would be so much better.
I like your music. God bless you and your family. I believe in God and angels everyday. I have been lessoning to your music since I was in High School. I hope that you keep singing for a long time.
I vividly remember listening to this and my dad holding me dancing in our cabin in upstate NY when I was 3. One of my favorite memories of all time... 1998 was a wonderful time to be a little girl.
With Toby Keith it's always a great adventure he's so versatile you never know what you're getting at the moment until he actually starts singing. I love this song I like the sound of it the tune is just right. This is one of my favorites ❤️🤠
This song always reminds me of my dad, he passed away a few months ago and it’s been hard without his direction but this song brings me closer to him again in those low times.
I'm 11 and my dad taught me this song when I was younger. I know it by heart. And we would sing out loud singing this song bugging my mom till she gone crazy.😂
My grandpa was among the last of the real cowboys. When I hear this song , 1) I am proud of TK. He supports the men and women and their families that sacrifice alot to serve this great country. 2) This song makes me sad because I think of my grandpa and how much I miss him. 3) It's a good memorial to a part of America that has past into history. Thank you TK for an incredible song and for your patriotism and for the memories.
Toby is the truiest of American singers ever!!! I have done numerous tours and although most of the time was on so mission often heard from the Joe's he was doing a show on some sand box base. he was always for the young Joe's and not the higher rankings that would us their authority to get the best seats in the clam shell and bushing the lowers out. This is his best song! it is the one that fired us up.
I don’t know him, however his son played some sport with my grandson. My daughter mentioned it to me back in the day. I didn’t know his music until now. May he rest in peace.
Always love the wild west and definitely would have loved the freedom of those days seeing the country untouched must have been breathtaking....BTW the opening line about Gunsmoke I watch it with my popop he's 90 and I love that show!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot this is always the song that gets me to switch from "Country" to "Irish Folk Music" when i'm watching some of my favorite youtube videos. That ending song, different genre but another one of my favorites!
The early 90s had a great group of country performers, This song put Toby in the spotlight, I think back about others in the mid-90s, Travis Tritt - Garth - Mark Chesnutt - Brooks & Dunn - Joe Diffie - Alan Jackson -Aaron Tippin - Shenandoah - Sammy Kershaw and Sawer brown are a few the come to mind. Country music started going south in the late 90s and has been there ever since.
I just heard Toby Keith passed on to the Everlasting Life ! He Will Be Missed !! Thank God we have his amazing music !!!
RIP COWBOY .
Raise the Red Solo Cup.
@@wrenchesinmotion3282 hells yeah!!!! lets all raise red solo cup in his honnor
He wanted to be a Cowboy, but instead he was someone who made some of the best music ever. RIP to a legend
*The cowboy who rode away! RIP* 🙏
let's not go that far lmao
I can't believe it's already been a month without him. It doesn't even feel real. I just played this on my guitar and started tearing up a lil bit. That cowboy rode off into heaven peacefully. Let us never forget the legend, Toby Keith. R.I.P. Cowboy
R.I.P Cowboy😢. Thanks for making good music
His boots did not stink enough.
I just wanted to come and listen to my favorite Toby song after hearing of his passing. RIP Toby.
Same here. Love this song. RIP Toby
My mom and I used to listen to this song so much when I was younger, RIP Toby Keith, the modern day American Cowboy
Rest in peace toby!! You've always been a cowboy to me. Thank you for being a big inspiration to my own musical abilities. Legends never die!!
I was coming home from work, when this song came on. When it was over, I drove over to the record store, and I bought the CD. I put the cd in the player, put it on Repeat, and by they time I got home, I nearly knew all the lyrics. "I should have been a cowboy." What a great song.
I just discovered him randomly, I had no idea he recently passed away. I'm so sorry. A great salute from Italy, you were a great singer!
Don't worry, if you are listening to this song and singing along, you have the heart of a cowboy. Thats all that matters.
Thank you. I needed to hear that.
i shoot guns but don’t rope, sure as hell wish i did
Cool little Irish dance at the end y can't we just love everyone? Oh ya...
If that's the case I should have been a cowgirl I love this song!
Bo , i agree you spoke it better then i could if i do say so myself
Playing Red Dead, jamming to Toby, sipping Southern Comfort! Best birthday ever!
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024
I am after hearing he died from stomach cancer
thats a big texas hellZ yah for me to , hell i feel like raising red solo in his honnor
May he RIP
Here ❤
@@samilee8121 agreed
My Grandpa was great friends with this legend, and when he passed away, Toby paid for his funeral expenses and attended mourning for him.
RIP Papa Rick
Rip
Rick was a true cowboy
@@whiteassassin88 that i bet he was
Rip
That's amazing
This song was the most requested song on country radio in the 90s and made Toby Keith a huge star.
I've had many truckers cross my dock, and refer to themselves as the last great American cowboy.
What really got Toby popular was "courtesy of the red white and blue" but this is definately one of his best songs
@@frankmiller4508 Unbathed and unshowered?
Sarah Hess; Know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but i don't understand your comment? Could you elaborate?
Cattle-drives can last days.
Rip Toby thanks for all the memories and great tunes. ❤️😎🎸🎶
RIP SIR THANK YOU FOR YEARS OF GOOD MUSIC
R.I.P. Toby Keith! Legends never die!
Toby is a true patriot. Saw him in Afghanistan between tours and he was all for the joes as I am. The seniors tried to push the joes back but Toby would not have it! Good man. This is his best song.
HELL YEAH GO USA USA USA! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS . You are a true patriot sir. We should all be like you. Thank you. Steven

me too. my grandpa was my hero and favorite cowboy.
I watch a lot of the old Westerns Saturday morning with my dad still. The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, The Big Valley.
I loved that show. That's when tv wasn't full of crap
I was blessed to be born to a family of cowboy/cattle ranchers now it's my time to work the ranch
I always thought I was born in the wrong time .
Yessss! Love how he mentions Gunsmoke!!! Love that show!!! And this song! I listen to it ALL THE TIME!!! 🐎
This song NEVER gets old.
only cowboys get old--i am proof--typing this while on my scooter horse with 4 wheels...
True tho
Так це правда 😢

love this song, it takes me back to when i was little and everything was simple
Ikr
Holy.. U r words hit my heart... 😭
Simple time's back then...!

Listened to this and a few others of Toby's bangers tonight. If the USO had a hall of fame, this man belongs in it. Rest peacefully Toby

I listen to this song now at home, throws me back to trucking in southern Texas, singing along, hot days, great diners, memories now
Steve Wright I'm running on 40 heading into Texas, just past Tucumcari. I agree totally, this and George Strait make the West come alive.
Texas forever man
This song brings back a lot of memories. I remember listening to it in elementary school. First song I listened to in my first truck. Couple kids and a wife later, I smile when it comes on the radio in the minivan. 😌
Good for you, man, no joke
This one made me chuckle man😂 i plan on getting my first truck soon and bumping this hopefully god willing
I'm mostly on the heavy metal side of the fence, but there is nothing wrong with a little old school Toby Keith.
ggood music ie (what touches ur soul) is good music regardless of genre
***** I second that.
Jeremy Fishback same
Lol whats your idea of "heavy metal"
King Potato idk about him but on top of Toby Keith I can jam to some Gojira, Amputory, and Archspire
Exactly. Im a metal head and I just recently got back into country. Havent listening to country in nearly 20 years. Missed out on all these gems.
My heart aches for this gentle soul who passed way to soon. I'll be missing ya Toby. RIP. Prayers to your family and friends.
Toby Keith is one of my favorite country singers
RIP Toby. I’m not a country fan but this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Real country music at its best can't find this kind of music nowadays

Check out the old Gunsmoke radio program on TH-cam .There's over 400 episodes.
@@JackBlack-qb7zh thanks will do
Believe that 💯🙌
I used to call in to the radio station to request this song and wait to be ready to push the record button on my boombox to get it on tape
Damn, those were the days
Eric A now I download it!
I miss those days!
I did that!
The 90s🔥
Beautiful tribute on CMT Music Awards tonight! RIP 🎸

I wasn't a fan of his newer stuff but I this mastetpiece of a song is the soundtrack of my youth. Pouring one out for the cowboy. RiP Toby.
Toby Keith is great at writing songs about that wild west, old school, red white and blue romanticism country audiences love.
You are spot on with your assessment of Toby Keith.If we had more artists and just plain,good old fashioned everyday Americans like Toby Keith our country would be so much better.

Rip Toby may you’re music live on
Toby Keith is an amazing songwriter.
20 year old listening to this in 2021 , my favourite song
Toby Keith was one of the main country singers I heard growing up. Still one of the better country singers and I ain't a huge country fan
Toby is the truiest of American singers ever!!! I have done numerous tours and although most of the time was on so mission often heard from the Joe's he was doing a show on some sand box base. he was always for the young Joe's and not the higher rankings that would us their authority to get the best seats in the clam shell and bushing the lowers out. This is his best song! it is the one that fired us up.
I love how the first verse is talking about Gunsmoke.
Matt Piavis been catching that on MeTV when I'm home on my days off. Kind of hit me after a few episodes that he was referring to Gunsmoke.
That is my grandpa's favorite show. You can't go wrong with festus.
johndeereman Chester was way better. Festus was an illiterate bastard.
You can’t go wrong with the old westerns they are good entertainment
I m wanted
I'm not a country fan. I'm a hard rocker. But I love this song rip toby keith
R.I.P COWBOY

R.I.P Toby Keith. Heaven has a cowboy❤
We played this at my grampas funeral. He was a legit Arizona cowboy. Still my hero.
Country when it still had meaning and substance, not like most of those Bro-Country posers...
this is a great song, has been one of my favs for years. but i love the end song! GO FLOGGING MOLLY!!!!!!!
best song ever
Just read the news- very sad. Thank you Toby for all the classics.
The radio wasn't on but singing this song got me through the day❤
"Go west young man, haven't you been told? California's full of whiskey, women and gold."
-Good ol' Days
Love this song❤❤best song ever love me some old school country!! And I am only 13 and liston to all the old countries songs!!
