Toby Keith – Think About You All Of The Time (2010)

Introduction:

Released in 2010 on Toby Keith’s album Bullets In The Gun, the country ballad “Think About You All Of The Time” captures the bittersweet emotions of a relationship’s aftermath. Though the song doesn’t delve into the specifics of the breakup, it paints a vivid picture of a man grappling with the lingering presence of his ex-lover.

While Toby Keith is synonymous with the rough-and-tumble side of country music, known for his anthems about patriotism and blue-collar life, “Think About You All Of The Time” showcases a different facet of his artistry. The song’s producer, Becky Turner, known for her work with artists like Martina McBride and Reba McEntire, creates a soundscape that perfectly complements the introspective lyrics. A bed of acoustic guitar lays the foundation, punctuated by subtle pedal steel flourishes and a steady drumbeat. Keith’s signature baritone delivery conveys a mix of nonchalance and vulnerability, masking the sting of lost love with a facade of indifference.

“Think About You All Of The Time” wasn’t a chart-topping hit for Keith, but it resonated with fans who connected with the relatable theme of moving on from a past relationship. The song found a home on country radio playlists and became a popular choice for jukeboxes across the nation. While it may not have garnered awards or critical acclaim, “Think About You All Of The Time” stands as a testament to Keith’s ability to connect with his audience on an emotional level. The song offers a glimpse into the complexities of heartache, masked by a bravado that’s quintessentially country.

Lyrics:

“Think About You All Of The Time”

Bet you’ll be glad to know
I got a brand new girlfriend
She took my broken heart
Patched it up again
She’s good lookin’
And she drives a convertible
She likes to laugh a lot
Totally flirtable[CHORUS:]
I know that you think I’m lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the timeI hear the people talkin’
They say you’re lookin’ good
They seen you walkin’ with him
Down in the neighborhood
You got all lovey-dovey
With this handsome man
I did not catch the rest
I got it second hand

[Repeat Chorus]

I think about you when I’m dancin’
And when I’m asleep, I think about it too
And if by chance I start romancin’
You guessed it, I think about you

Baby, I know that you think I’m lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time

Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time
