He finds himself in handcuffs by the end of the night, but there are beautiful women everywhere and the beer is cold, so he\u2019s not too pressed about his misfortune.<\/p>\n Truthfully, he seems to be having a blast!<\/p>\n Just when he thinks he\u2019s got his bearings, it turns out it\u2019s all in his head, and everyone\u2019s looking at him sideways. In reality, he\u2019s talking to his dog, a cowboy Corgi named Carl who is also at the bar, he\u2019s lost a boot and a girlfriend, and is the target of a not-so-high-speed chase. It\u2019s a fun video from an artist who, more often than not, is singing about romance and heartbreak.<\/p>\n \u201cThink as You Drunk\u201d is a drinking anthem, and if it reminds you of Toby Keith, you\u2019ve got a good ear. It actually samples Toby\u2019s 2005 Billboard<\/em> Hot Country Songs chart-topper \u201cAs Good as I Once Was\u201d on the outro, and as such, the legend and his writing partner Scotty Emerick get a writing credit on Riley\u2019s song, which he co-wrote with Erik Dylan, Jessi Alexander, and Wyatt McCubbin in just 20 minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best compliment I can give a song is, \u2018Man, this feels like a Toby Keith song,\u2019\u201d Riley told <\/a>Billboard<\/em><\/a> in March. \u201cEspecially as a songwriter, I don’t know if there was a bigger influence on me.\u201d<\/p>\n As the video draws to a close, the camera pans to a framed photo of Toby, smiling that million-dollar smile and holding up a Solo cup in his happy place, a concert stage. The \u201cShould\u2019ve Been a Cowboy\u201d singer died in February 2024 after a battle with aggressive stomach cancer. A portion of the proceeds from \u201cThink as You Drunk\u201d will go to the Toby Keith Foundation, an organization he started in 2006 to help pediatric cancer patients.<\/p>\n YouTube<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
