Toby Keith Covel (born July 8, 1961 in Clinton, OK - died February 5, 2024… Read Full Bio ↴Toby Keith Covel (born July 8, 1961 in Clinton, OK - died February 5, 2024 in Oklahoma), known professionally as Toby Keith was a country music singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. Keith released 19 studio albums, 2 Christmas albums, and 5 compilation albums, totaling worldwide sales of over 40 million albums. He charted 61 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including 20 #1 hits and 22 additional top 10 hits. His longest-lasting #1 hits were "Beer for My Horses" (a 2003 duet with Willie Nelson) and "As Good as I Once Was" (2005), at six weeks each. Keith was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Donald Trump in a closed ceremony alongside Ricky Skaggs on January 13, 2021.

Signed to DreamWorks Records Nashville in 1998, Keith released his breakthrough single "How Do You Like Me Now?!" in late 1999. This song, the title track to his 1999 album of the same name, was the #1 country song of 2000, and one of several chart-toppers during his tenure on DreamWorks Nashville. His next three albums, Pull My Chain, Unleashed, and Shock'n Y'all, produced three more #1's each, and all of the albums were certified 4× Platinum. A second Greatest Hits package followed in 2004, and after that, he released Honkytonk University.

When DreamWorks closed in 2005, Keith founded the label Show Dog Nashville, which merged with Universal South Records to become Show Dog-Universal Music in December 2009. He has released ten studio albums through Show Dog/Show Dog-Universal: 2006's White Trash with Money, 2007's Big Dog Daddy, 2008's That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy, 2009's American Ride, 2010's Bullets in the Gun, 2011's Clancy's Tavern, 2012's Hope on the Rocks, 2013's Drinks After Work, 2015's 35 MPH Town, 2017's The Bus Songs, and 2021's Peso in My Pocket, as well as the compilation 35 Biggest Hits in 2008. Keith also made his acting debut in 2006, starring in the film Broken Bridges, and co-starred with comedian Rodney Carrington in the 2008 film Beer for My Horses, inspired by his song of the same name. On February 5th, 2024, Toby passed away from a 3 year battle with Stomach Cancer.

I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight
Toby Keith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'm not talkin' 'bout locking down forever
Baby, that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin' 'bout two lonely people
Who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin' 'bout knockin' out heaven
With whether we're wrong or we're right
I'm not talkin' 'bout hookin' up and hangin' out
I'm just talkin' 'bout tonight

You were sitting on your barstool
Talking to some fool who didn't have a clue
I guess he couldn't see you were looking right at me
'Cause I was looking at you too
Then it's, "Do you wanna dance? Have we ever met?"
You said, "Hold your horses, boy, I ain't that easy to get"

Oh, I'm not talkin' 'bout locking down forever
Baby, that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin' 'bout two lonely people
Who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin' 'bout knockin' out heaven
With whether we're wrong or we're right
I'm not talkin' 'bout hookin' up and hangin' out
I'm just talkin' 'bout tonight

She said, "I only take it slow
By now you oughta know that I ain't digging this
If we can start as friends
The weekend just might end with a little kiss"
She said "I'm a lady looking for a man in my life
Who'll make a good husband, I'll make a good wife"

Easy, now

I'm not talkin' 'bout locking down forever
Baby, that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin' 'bout two lonely people
Who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin' 'bout knockin' out heaven
With whether we're wrong or we're right
See, I'm not talkin' 'bout hookin' up and hangin' out

I'm just talkin' 'bout tonight
Yeah, I'm just talkin' 'bout a little bit later tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Toby Keith's "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight" are quite straightforward, as the song tells the story of two strangers who meet in a bar and hit it off. The singer is not talking about commitment or marriage, but merely about spending some time alone with this woman. The first verse establishes this, as the singer sings that this is not about forever but just two lonely people looking for some understanding.

The second verse describes the interaction between the two strangers. The woman is talking to another man, but the singer can tell that she is looking at him too. He asks her to dance, and she lets him know that she is not that easy to get. The third verse finds the two of them discussing what they are looking for in a relationship. The woman wants to take things slow, but the singer just wants to spend some time alone with her.

Overall, the song suggests that one-night stands are okay, as long as both parties are on the same page and no one is expecting anything more. It is a song about being in the moment rather than worrying about the future or the past.

গানের কথা:
আচ্ছা, আমি চিরতরে লক ডাউন করার কথা বলছি না, বাবু।
যে খুব দাবি করা হবে.
আমি শুধু দুই একা মানুষ সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি
যারা একটু বুঝতে পারে।
আমি স্বর্গ নক আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না
আমরা ভুল নাকি আমরা সঠিক।
আমি হুক আপ এবং হ্যাং আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না.
আমি শুধু আজ রাতে সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি....👍😍💋

আপনি আপনার বার স্টুল উপর বসে ছিল
কোন বোকার সাথে কথা বলছি
একটি ক্লু ছিল না.
আমার ধারণা সে দেখতে পায়নি
তুমি ঠিক আমার দিকে তাকিয়ে ছিলে
কারণ আমিও তোমার দিকে তাকিয়ে ছিলাম।
তারপর এটি "তুমি কি নাচতে চাও",
"আমরা কি কখনো দেখা করেছি"
তুমি বলেছিলে "তোমার ঘোড়ার ছেলেকে ধরো
আমাকে পাওয়া এত সহজ নয়"

ঠিক আছে, আমি চিরতরে তালাবদ্ধ করার কথা বলছি না, বাবু।
যে খুব দাবি করা হবে.
আমি শুধু দুই একা মানুষ সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি
যারা একটু বুঝতে পারে।
আমি স্বর্গ নক আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না
আমরা ভুল নাকি আমরা সঠিক।
আমি হুক আপ এবং হ্যাং আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না.
আমি শুধু আজ রাতে সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি.

তিনি বলেন, "আমি এটিকে ধীরে ধীরে নিই।
এতক্ষণে আপনার জানা উচিত
যে আমি এটি খনন করছি না।
আমরা যদি বন্ধু হিসেবে শুরু করতে পারি
সপ্তাহান্তে শুধু শেষ হতে পারে
একটু চুমু দিয়ে।"
তিনি বলেন, "আমি একজন মহিলা খুঁজছি
আমার জীবনের একজন মানুষের জন্য
যে একজন ভালো স্বামী তৈরি করবে।
আমি ভালো বউ বানাবো।"
হেইইইইসি এখন।

আচ্ছা, আমি চিরতরে লক ডাউন করার কথা বলছি না, বাবু।
যে খুব দাবি করা হবে.
আমি শুধু দুই একা মানুষ সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি
যারা একটু বুঝতে পারে।
আমি স্বর্গ নক আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না
আমরা ভুল নাকি আমরা সঠিক।
দেখুন, আমি হুক আপ এবং হ্যাং আউট সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি না।
আমি শুধু আজ রাতে সম্পর্কে কথা বলছি.

হ্যাঁ, আমি আজ রাতে একটু পরে কথা বলছি।👍😍💋

ponceclovis why should it have any VIEWS dumb shit. You don't VIEW AUDIOS. You LISTEN to AUDIOS. This is CLEAR as FUCKING HELL an AUDIO. This is as far from the definition of a VIDEO as you can get. Do you literally not know the difference between AUDIOS and VIDEOS
