If you were down in Gulf Shores this weekend and didn\u2019t feel the ground shake when Riley Green and Randy Houser tore into\u00a0\u201cShould\u2019ve Been a Cowboy,\u201d\u00a0check your pulse. You might be dead.<\/p>\n

At Morgan Wallen\u2019s first-ever\u00a0Sand In My Boots Fest<\/em>, Riley and Randy didn\u2019t just pay tribute to\u00a0Toby Keith. They brought his spirit straight onto that beach stage, cracked a beer with it, and let it sing. This wasn\u2019t some soft, sentimental nod. This was full-blown, American-made country music being screamed back by thousands of fans who still know every word.<\/p>\n

As first reported by Whiskey Riff, Riley\u2019s been covering \u201cShould\u2019ve Been a Cowboy\u201d for years. It\u2019s a crowd staple. But something about this one hit differently. Maybe it was the air. Perhaps it was the moment. Maybe it was the fact that Toby wasn\u2019t here to sing it himself anymore, and Riley and Randy made damn sure it was done right.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about that song for a second. First single. 1993. Four times Platinum.\u00a0Most played country song\u00a0of the entire\u00a01990s. That\u2019s not nostalgia. That\u2019s stats. That<\/p>\n
