Toby keith don’t let the old man in :
The song that made you feel like “wow this is me!? If not, you have surely heard the words of Toby Keith’s song ‘Don’t Let The Old Man In’ by now. The way this song boops its four-on-the-floor beat all over everything, it’s like being slapped in the face with a “wakey wakey” message from that uncle you love on your journey to leave the couch and start living.
Song Inspiration
Big-hearted country singer Toby Keith — famed for his patriotic hits and love of America as much as the music he makes — penned “Don’t Let the Old Man In” after a conversation with Clint Eastwood. Yes, the Clint Eastwood! Toby directed his curiosity to Clint questioning him, “How do you keep going strong at your age”—and Mr. Eastwood charitably retorted with.JUST.HEAR.THE.LINE….in response: “I don’t let the old man in.” If that’s not a bit of wise ole cowboy counsel Im unsure what is folks!
The Song’s Message
It is a simple message of the song age is just, listen to him stay forever. Another birthday, or the number of years you have lived but about how young are inside in spite of your age. You could have the soul of a 20-year-old at age 80, or you might be winning things without even having tried to (hint: You haven’t.).
Toby probably knows your getting older, but that doesn’t mean you need to give in either Toby sings beg, “Ask yourself how old would you be, if didn’t know the day born on?” Now how ass-out is this line?! Perhaps it’s time to retrieve that dusty guitar from the closet, hit a spur-of-the-moment trip up a coast highway or dabble in something brand-new:Like. I don’t informal, knitting your dog a scarf. Who cares if it’s summer?
A Tune for All Ages
Your song resonates with everyone — probably not just the young more than you know. This song is for all of the teenagers worrying about school, all the young adults struggling to pay bills and show up in life as decent humans, or any senior looking back at their memories from before. It says, “Hiya life is super short so fuck aging. Love it, laugh about it and enjoy every single second of being alive. Even if you can’t really dance, sway weirdly. Is anyone really watching?
Adding a Dash of Humor
Perhaps one of the best things about this song, it allows us to laugh at ourselves. And so what you misplaced your keys…. again?! …or how about the title of that one actress in his movie? (Of you know, the thing!) Easier said than done, but let’s face it- Life is too short to be worried about the little things. Instead, laugh it off. Keep in mind, a smile is really a frown upside down … but actually that would make your face hurt.
Toby Keith reminding us in song, “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” A friendly reminder to forever be young at heart, wear your optimism on the sleeve life hands you (preferably with a wink) and find cause for laughter no matter how tactically situated beside one’s own hilarity. The old man tryin to creep on in so next time, c’mon and just let him be!”, What a fun song!!
And here, if all that fails try to remember what Toby might suggest-When god gives you lemons ( life becomes sour) then go and find someone for whom it gave vodka to make their life fun!! Cheers to staying young!
