With "Should've Been A Cowboy", Toby Keith rode onto the
country music horizon with the assuredness of a seasoned
veteran. Perhaps it came from cutting his teeth on a string
of one-night and one-week engagements in the honky tonks of
Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. Perhaps it came from the
slow, methodical business approach that he's taken, such as
buying a bus and finding a good manager before he took
strides to find a record deal. But for whatever reason,
Keith has shouldered the rigors of impending stardom with a
grace shown by very few of today's crop of emerging young
talents.
What's even more staggering than the success of his self-
titled debut album is the new plateau that he is reaching
with his sophomore effort, BOOMTOWN. On the strength of his

I try not to cry every time I hear this song. You see both my children served our wonderful country. They were in Iraq at the same time. And now I have more soldiers to pray for. My niece and nephew and also my son in law. Thank you Toby for a great song that touches our hearts. And THANK YOU AMERICAN SOLDIERS. You are always in my prayers.

You kidding me, none of this is racist. You need to get a life, they never say anything about lynching blacks. They say it about criminals. Just in case you don't know long ago they hung everyone. Not just one race. So think before you speak and stop fucking being "Anonymous". If we still hung people today maybe criminals wouldn't be doing stupid shit anymore. They get away with too much while the innocent suffer. If we hung people or used more firing squads maybe people would think twice before doing stupid shit.

is this crazy? ok so I met this guy and rite off the bat me and him were best buds! fortuntly we lived rite down the road from each other, and we were constantly together no matter who else we were with, I stayed at his house he stayed at mine, and nothing ever happened. people sware were lying about the hole realtionship, so after about 3 yrs we tried going out, it was sweet he actually asked me out over the PA system at school in the middle of class! but I just couldn't do it! we were BEST FRIENDS! and I just wasn't ready, but I've never seen him date and he seen me go through relationships like they were air! I could tell he was crazy about me, one halloween I got him to dress up in a dress and high heels! lmao it was awesome! but we argued a lot at times and them he got this bitch of a GF and she didn't want him near me and he followed then they finally broke up about a year later, but I had gotton pregnant and moved away, and yet he still found a way to get ahold of me and he asked me out by writing it on my back! I finally relized I had loved him this whole time, every one that new us swears I was pregnant with his kid, still no body believes us! lol. but when I was about 7 months along he got home sick and left me. then when my daughter was about 2 months he came back and stayed with me for a while and finally asked me to marry him through a cooty catcher, but 4 days later he moved away on me back home. no matter what happens between us, were still best friends and brush off whatever happens, but now I miss him like hell and just can't seem to get him out of my mind. but I don't no how he feels what if he moved on? it makes me hate this song and the country song, DO I, because I don't know what he thinking and its driving me nuts!!!!!!!
Thank You To All Those Who Stand Beside Me In This Fight To Defend This Great Country. Without All Those In Uniform, We Would Not Be Here To Day! Thank You For All You Do On A Day-To-Day Basis. God Bless The Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen! God Bless The USA!
At the time this was written, I was all for it. Personally, I think Afghanistan was the right thing to do, aside from the fact that things there are a complete mess in terms of human and womens rights. And after over three thousand people died in new york, I think we had a right to go and deal with things, since the Afghan government was only supporting and harboring those who commited the act.
Iraq however was idiocy. There was no solid proof on what they were supposedly doing, and the momment we set foot in there, our credibility as the ones who got attacked and who had the right for retribution went right out the window.
Thus, in the spirit of the song at the time it was written, I applaud Toby Keith. I just wish we hadn't gone and made an idiot out of ourselves by going to Iraq.

------ About the song American Soldier performed by Toby Keith
This past week we lost a American Soldier to cancer. His name was John.
This man was an American Soldier through and through. He serve his country with pride for 20 years. He was a great and wonderful husband to his wife, children, parents,sibblings and
friends.
American Soldier song represents what John was. When I hear this song I cry. God Bless the American Soliders. Bring them home safe.
Before anyone condemns me for speaking my mind, let me first say this: I have two relatives in this godforsaken war, both for very different reasons. One one side of the family, it's an uncle, and on the other, it's a cousin four years older than me. I hate thinking that they might both be lost to this war - if you can really even call it that.
This is not my uncle's first time in a dangerous warzone - he joined when he was 17 (lied about his age and somehow got away with it) because he was disgusted with the injustice that the government got away with, and wanted to make a difference from the inside. That was over 20 years ago. He's nearing his much-anticipated early retirement, and according to him, everything out there is relatively boring, but that doesn't make it any harder, waiting for him to come back. We all keep expecting to hear that he died - he's one of those guys who'd stop at the side of a road to pick up a kitten, and get accidentally killed in "friendly fire", because he wasn't standing exactly where they expected him to be.
My cousin jumped headfirst into the war first chance he got, and I can tell you this: he doesn't want to die for his country. He doesn't care about defending anybody's rights. He just wants to kill bad guys. He wants to live out some kind of Rambo-style fantasy. And, for the most part, he is. He's currently trained specifically in close range combat - he's one of the guys who goes in and makes sure all the bad guys are killed without raising too big of a ruckus. And he's HAPPY about this, because he's taking out the 'bad guys'.
The fact that there are so-called patriots out there who insist on fighting a war that never should have been has me disgusted. They're dragging out a war against an entire NATION of innocent people for something that a relatively small group of religiopolitical zealots. I DARE any of you to tell me that isn't true, along with proof as to why it's not. "Our gun is bigger than theirs, so why should they get away with hurting us?" is NOT a valid response, as it in no way clarifies the acts of a 'civilized' nation.
Ireland. Italy. Sweden. Safe, stable countries that have an extremely high quality of life - certainly doing much better than the beloved US of A. Why insist that you're the best, just because others are worse? The fact is, there will always be better, and there will always be worse. Canada and the United States are two relatively young countries, both having a long way to go before they can claim the stability of the aforementioned countries.
@ Lt. Pritchett: While I respect your perspective, and am sensitive to the fact that you've got your hackles raised over some of the ignorance spouted here, I think you, in particular, are a pompous ass for not recognizing that you're fighting a hypocritical war that has already condemned too many people to death and oppression. I am one hundred percent for a war that is rooted in logic, truth, and true defense. I admire any attempt to truly defend the helpless. The US has lost virtually any status it once held in the eyes of the world for this ridiculous parade of arrogance they're calling 'war'.
This is a song worth 5 stars out of 5 and Toby also deserves 5 out of 5. I have listened to many songs by him and he is one great artist and if you do not like him then there is something wrong with you. I am sure all his fans agree. okay i love this song. i wish people would get the int that nobody REALLY likes the war. but we have every right to defend our country. our soilders are doing a wonderful job. God, i would hate to see whoever says this is a god awful song like that one guy did run this country, then we'd all be screwed. this song has a meaning to it. and toby kieth did a great job with the lyrics. You people should be ashamed you yourselves.I've seen people that I consider family die in this war.I have lost my brother in this war. The way some of you were talking it was as if you hate this country that I and others have so bravely fought for. You don't even know how stressful it is waking up every day not knowing if your going to die this day,even in base you don't feel safe. I hope you people are happy with your selves and what you've been saying.
I am only 14 yrs old. this song inspired me. This song brings tears to my eyes when I listen the song. This song inspiered me to make a choice to go in the army. I took the opportunity to in the army reserve. Now Im 18 yrs old and in the army reserve.I WILL FIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY AND FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you people are happy with your selves and what you've been saying. I love this song and the fact that the troops love it should be enough. It is a great song with great lyrics. I dont know who that person was that said only New York would get attacked because the rest of us were to stupid but all I can say is, ARE YOU HIGH? Sounded like he might have a little hatrid for the USA. No doubt Toby's song is charged with emotion. It expresses how we as a nation hurt from the result of 9/11 and the loss of our wonderful men and women who continue to put their lives on the line for their fellow citizens.
For me, it stirs feelings of guilt and of lack of gratitude for our veterans who sacrificed so much for us on so many levels.
Overall I feel the song goes beyond the obvious.
I don't put a face to the anger that the words are aimed at. I like to sing along with this song and join in with wanting to kick some ass to end the way we as people treat one another.
Looking at all the comments that are offered here, I guess Toby offered us a chance to take it all in and think about it. We all can thump our chests as say we're right, but to make this a better world starts with us as individuals and how we treat one another. Toby Keith Is certainly an Angry American, the song is full of raw emotion. Unfortunately Keith's anger prevents him from critically examining the issue, and as a result the song feels ignorant and offensive instead of patriotic. The only information given about the "enemy" is in the line "A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back" enforcing the stereotype that Americans cannot identify Afghanistan on a map. It gives the impression that Keith blames the entire middle east for 9/11 and lines like "Man, we lit up your world like the 4th of July" trivialize the deaths of innocent civilians in Afghanistan whose only crime was sharing a country with terrorists. Their deaths were just as tragic as those in the world trade center. I find it disheartening that a song that's purpose is to unite us and support this country and it's troops cannot rise above the cloud of anger and fear that 9/11 created. When we lash out in fear and ignorance, the terrorists win.

My brother died in Iraq in 2204. To this day, i cry and i feel an immense pain, something that will never go away, but I'm more than proud for what he did. FREEDOM DON'T COME FREE. I wish everybody who's overseas to come home safe. They are the true heroes, so we can sleep at nights, so we can live the lifes we want, they pay the price. Thank you men and women in the military for the ultimate sacrifice!!!

It's not literal, people | Reviewer: Sean
------ About the song Beer for My Horses performed by Toby Keith
okay, for all those not intelligent enough, or simply ignorant of what lyrics embody, this song is metaphorical. I know, I know: big word. I suppose if you aren't smart enough to figure out that the song is not suggesting we form drunken lynch mobs, you probably don't know what a metaphor is, either. The song is stating that justice has taken a back seat to the rights of the criminals. The innocent are paying, and the guilty are getting away with murder, sometimes literally. TK is not suggesting we all get together, get drunk off our collective asses, and become the vigilantes of the world, fair trials be damned. He is saying that we need to take control of the justice system back, make the guilty pay, and celebrate the victory of taking back our justice system from the criminals. If you truly believe this song is about race, you have a severe persecution complex and need a reality check. Inserting racism into places where it clearly does not exist (there's not a single mention of ANY race, nor any allusions to it in the entire song) is one of the biggest reasons that racism IS still such a big problem, and seriously detracts from people who really suffer at the hands of racism. Trotting out the "R" word is just a way of saying "I'm a victim of racism. Pity me. I can get away with anything because you're only targetting me because of my race." If you think everyone is targetting you because of your race, YOU are making race the issue, not everyone else. There's a word for that: paranoia. Get over yourself, you're not that special that everyone has a vast conspiracy against you. As another poster put it, if you don't like the song, don't listen to it.

I'm just surprised that the people on this message board are all immigrants. I was expecting at least a few native American English speakers who might appreciate this song.
(Don't tell me you actually speak, read and write American English, e.g., "Me and My boyfrend" among other little ditties prove that you come from another land and haven't yet mastered the language.)
It's just too bad the under- and uneducated in this country are demanding "English Only" when so few people actually have a command of the language.
