The Blue Moon album is among Keith’s earlier albums and has that fresh young sound that amassed a huge fan base across America.
2. Rock You Baby
Hailed as the perfect wedding song, “Rock You Baby” tells the tale of meeting someone, falling completely head over heels, and wanting to protect them at all costs.
One of the most important aspects of any relationship is making your beloved feel safe, valued, and loved, and this track off of Keith’s 2002 Unleashed album describes this to a tee.
This is a great song to dedicate or serenade your significant other to remind them why you love them and how you will do absolutely anything for them.

He is ultimately searching for that love he yearns for. Many can relate to Keith’s song and will go through life seeing true love and the kind of love that makes you softer yet stronger at the same time.
7. Missing Me Some You
“Missin Me Some You” is one of the most popular songs on his 2008 album That Don’t Make Me A Bad Guy. Following a break-up, Keith pines for his lover, reminiscing their time together and how happy she made him.
While he has moved on, he will never forget the memories they shared and how she made him feel. One of the most important lines of the song is “And close my eyes and dream, but I can’t kiss my baby’s smile,” and it describes how we all feel about the one that got away.

Through all this, Keith sings about his love for her and how it felt like their relationship was a perfect dream.
Wishing things were different, “Dream Walkin'” is a yearning for what once was. A song of hope, Toby Keith once again has me feeling all my feels with his Southern drawl and country classic sound.
9. You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This
Forbidden love. We have all craved it at one point or another in our lives. And Toby Keith nails that feeling with his 1999 hit “You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This” from his hit album How Do You Like Me Now?!
While the lyrics tell the heartbreaking tale of wanting the love of a particular woman more than anything else, he is aware of what others will think and how it could be a bad idea.
A kiss can sometimes be an innocent kiss, but in this heart wrenching country ballad, you can hear the desperation of the love that comes with a kiss.
