Toby Keith’s career is filled with chart-topping songs, and he is also an amazing songwriter with the ability to resonate with people with his writing.
Throughout his career, Keith wrote or co-wrote 20 songs that peaked at the top of the Billboard Country charts.
For an episode of Rock & Roll Road Trip in 2017, Keith worked with rocker Sammy Hagar, where they toured Keith’s 160-acre Oklahoma ranch.
As they talked about Keith’s career, influences, and his most significant song, Keith was asked about his favorite song that he wrote and he immediately replied.
His debut hit, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” which was a career-defining song for him, that took him from "nobody to somebody."
This song helped him break through the mass of other singers, giving him the No. 1 hit and an opportunity to be heard by many people—that many people don’t get.
But when asked about his personal favorite, he paused and eventually said "Hope on the Rocks" is the song that stands out the most in his heart.
