TOBY KEITH’S “DON’T LET THE OLD MAN IN”: THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

TOBY KEITH WILL RELEASE “DON’T LET THE OLD MAN IN” TO COUNTRY RADIO ON OCT. 30.

Toby Keith, who has been battling stomach cancer for the last two years, recently made a triumphant and much-publicized return to television when he performed “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” a song inspired by his friend Clint Eastwood, on an awards show.

Now, Keith has teamed with BMLG Records to get the song to country radio by the end of the month.

Lyrics include: And I knew all of my life| That someday it would end| Get up and go outside| Don’t let the old man in| Many moons I have lived| My body’s weathered and worn| Ask yourself how would you be|If you didn’t know the day you were born
