Toby has two songs on this list, both in the Top Ten (Courtesy Of The Red White And Blue #6), and this. He will be remembered for many things over the course of his career, and they are all apt. But his love of country, the military, and his dedication to both really resonated with fans on a very deep level. It went far deeper than most artists, because they believed it, and he lived it. This song may be played for 30 more years, as its message is timeless as is its arrangement. This speaks to the soldier, the friends and families. This is a “stop you in your tracks song.” A four week #1, and a multi-million seller. Toby Keith will always be loved and remembered for this song. At that moment in time, he was a giant in our format.
