Toby Keith, the “Ford Truck Man,” has pretty much been little more than the buffoon who kicked the dixie chicks when they were down–a bully, basically. This song proves that there is more in his veins than skoal juice and cheap beer. Way to go, Mr. Keith. You moved me.

Heard this song on 99.9 Kiss FM while driving my car. Got chills and tears in my eyes. Had just lost a dear friend and the words just hit home. I did call her phone a few times, but now just check her facebook page to see her happy smiling beautiful face as I remember her. Sure do miss her smile.

I have listened to this song many times since it came out and it’s sooo true of losing a great friend–every verse hits a truth for me. I even made that same phone call a couple of times, to hear his voice and hoping that that he would pick up and talk to me and prove it w…as all just a bad dream.

Toby Keith calls this “Wayman’s song” but myself, I’ll always think of it as “Todd’s song” because it is so powerful in reminding me of my friend and how much of a lose it has been for me from the first time I heard it. I just thank Toby for putting those feelings about his good friend down in the words of this song as it is awesome. If you can’t relate, feel blessed because those that can, know that feeling of the loss and the emptiness you live with after you loose those special people in your life. It has been 8 months now and no easier for me. I just thank my wife, family and friends for loving & putting up with me.

I first heard this song while working the graveyard shift. I was immediately impacted by the lyrics and the personal tone of the song. I thought of my deceased mother and brother and cried like a baby. Thank you Toby for keeping it real.

I love this !!!! Toby outdid himself with this one.
Great song and loved the Sax player could not have been better. Sorry we had to loose Wayman so early.

Makes me think of the few “very close” friends I have and how I would deal if they passed before me. It would be devastating! Great tribute and a great song. May God Bless!

My brother introduced me to this song yesterday and it has been on my heart every since. I have never had the pleasure of seeing Toby Keith sing in person, but have seen Wayman several times, but have gifts that only God can give. It is a great tribute to a friend and a loving song..

I’ve never cared much for Toby Keith, I always thought he was arrogant, but if you’ve ever lost a friend, this song will make you cry or at least bring tears to your eyes. It’s obvious to me now that Toby actually does have a heart.

This song has me crying crocodile tears everytime I hear it. I feel for Wayman’s family as well as Toby. I know what it’s like to lose a friend. I lost my best friend of 18 years to breast cancer in 2008. She was 36 with 3 kids. I miss her sooo and this song just makes me think of her and her smile and laughter!!
