If you want another fun bus song, check out "Running Block" by TobyHe'll never smoke weed with Willy, again...
This was a surprise to wake up to this morning. I sang drunken karaoke "Beer For My Horses" more than a few times many beers ago.
I know Toby is polarizing for some people, even country fans. However, I loved his voice. When I used to play with SouthRidge (my old band in Indiana) we'd always do this one as well as "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue". "Should've Been A Cowboy" was my favorite song of his, and a close second was "How Do You Like Me Now". I can't replicate that classic baritone voice he had, but I tried my best. RIP
My favorite was "I Love This Bar". It always reminded me of Cigar Pass. The diversity of this place. Also liked his duet with Sting. As a divorcee with kids, it was personal. He had a voice I liked though. So I would turn up his songs but never bought anything of his. Shame on me. RIP Toby
All this. Also any of you that can’t relate at least a little to “as good as I once was” are either too young or too boring.
Oh yeah, I can’t believe I forgot to mention “As Good as I Once Was”. That’s a great song, and was partly an inspiration for a song I put out a few years ago. I love lyrics that involve clever wordplay.
I did listen to that whole thing (skipped around a bit, I'll admit), and it would make for some good ambient background sounds.
