“John, you should’ve been a cowboy.”
While on a pheasant hunting trip, one of Toby Keith’s buddies bestowed him with some sage advice. A fellow hunter tried to dance with a cowgirl while they were dining at a steakhouse in Dodge City, Kansas, but was quickly turned away. Later, the group spotted her on the dance floor with a cowboy. His friend uttered “You should’ve been a cowboy” to John in jest. But the words stuck with Keith.
