Shop NowCountry music legend Toby Keith is one of the most patriotic figures in the world today. His newest song, “Happy Birthday America,” is a powerful message to those who disrespect the red, white and blue. While it may bring tears to anyone listening, it still serves as an important reminder that America should be celebrated and defended.
This article will look at what inspired Keith to write this song and how his words can inspire hope amidst all the negativity towards America’s legacy today.
According to AWM, Toby Keith wrote his 4th of July anthem while watching fireworks from a boat with his friend last year. As they watched them together, his friend said “Happy Fourth of July big dog!” To which he responded “Happy birthday America… whatever’s left of you.”
It was this moment that inspired him to write this heartfelt song about patriotism in a time when attitudes towards our country are changing drastically. This constant animosity toward our country has been overwhelming for many people – even ones as strong-willed as Toby Keith himself – but luckily there are still people willing to stand up and defend our legacy despite these changes.
Maybe everything good about America is being sacrificed for a new left-wing narrative cementing its downfall – or maybe all hope isn’t lost just yet if we have people like Toby Keith willing to fight abroad and at home against those who wish to attack our history and culture.
Even though I’m too young to experience the version of America that he sang about in this song myself – my generation’s willingness to continue defending her legacy could be seen as another sign that things aren’t completely over just yet either!
There’s no denying that Toby Keith’s latest single “Happy Birthday America” captures some extremely relevant themes right now – especially concerning respect for our flag during such trying times in history.
While it might make us cry due its sad subject matter – it also reminds us not only why we should celebrate our nation but also why we should continue fighting fiercely against any attempts made by those wishing to change or hinder her greatness.
