He was the guy who always stood tall — for his country, for his family, for the ones who felt forgotten. But behind the cowboy hat and patriotic anthems, Toby Keith carried quiet heartbreak. “In a Couple of Days” tells the story of love slipping away — something even a strong man can’t stop. In real life, Toby knew loss too well: the slow goodbye of his father, the pain of cancer, the ache of things unsaid. And yet, he never stopped singing.
