Introduction

“That’s Important to Me” isn’t just a song—it’s a heartfelt reminder of the simple joys and values that often get overshadowed in the rush of life. Sung by Joey Martin Feek, this ballad is a deeply personal expression of what truly matters. It feels like sitting on a porch with a dear friend as they pour their soul out, sharing the building blocks of their world—love, family, faith, and the beauty of the everyday.

What makes this song so special is its authenticity. The lyrics are a gentle tapestry of life’s precious moments, from “clean sheets on the line” to “a good cup of coffee.” Joey’s tender, angelic voice gives the song an unmatched sincerity, like she’s singing straight from her soul to yours. It’s about stripping life down to its essentials, focusing on what fills your heart rather than what clutters your mind.

Written by Joey Feek, her husband Rory, and Tim Johnson, the song is deeply rooted in their real-life values. It’s less about chasing grandeur and more about cherishing the quiet, meaningful connections that form the fabric of a life well-lived. For Joey + Rory fans, it’s a perfect encapsulation of their grounded, faith-filled approach to both music and life.

The song’s melody, gentle and soothing, mirrors its themes of comfort and simplicity. Listening to it feels like being wrapped in a warm hug, especially when life feels overwhelming. It’s a love letter to staying true to yourself and prioritizing what brings you joy and peace.

For anyone who has ever felt a tug at their heart to slow down and take stock of what truly matters, “That’s Important to Me” is more than a song—it’s a quiet anthem of gratitude

Lyrics

Not planning our day around a TV set
Paying our bills and staying out of debt
That’s important to me
That’s important to me

Opening the windows and letting in air
Holding hands when we’re saying a prayer
That’s important to me
Yeah, that’s important to me

Having somebody to share my life
Loving my husband and being a wife
And the very best mother I can be
That’s important to me

Telling the truth and being real
Feeding my family a home cooked meal
That’s important to me
That’s important to me

Planting a garden and watching it grow
Keeping it country on the radio
That’s important to me
Yeah, that’s important to me

Always having you to hold
Being beside you when we grow old
And they plant us ‘neath that big old tree
That’s important to me

Always having you to hold
Being beside you when we grow old
And they plant us ‘neath that big old tree

Believing our dreams will take us somewhere
Still being ourselves if we ever get there
That’s important to me
That’s important to me

Yeah, that’s important to me
That’s important to me

That’s important to me

In 2009, Toby Keith made headlines—not for a chart-topping hit, but for an act of quiet kindness. A young soldier, newly returned from Afghanistan, was eating alone at a diner in Oklahoma. Toby happened to be there and noticed the soldier’s worn uniform and weary expression. Without saying a word, Toby paid for the soldier’s meal and left a note: “Thank you for your service. You’re never alone.” The gesture was simple, but it deeply moved the soldier, who later shared the story online. It reminded fans that beyond the music and fame, Toby Keith is a man who stands by his values—patriotism, gratitude, and heart. That same warmth flows through his lesser-known ballad “Valentine.” A song that trades bravado for vulnerability, it reveals the tender side of Toby—a man who knows that love, like courage, comes from the heart.

In the early 1990s, Toby Keith was just a young man from Oklahoma with a ball cap, a friendly smile, and a heart that always belonged to the working people. He didn’t choose the glamorous path — he sang straight from real-life experiences: rowdy barroom nights, simple love stories, and hometown pride. His 1993 hit “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” marked the beginning of a legendary journey, carrying Toby from small barroom stages to the heights of Nashville. But what kept fans loving him for over three decades wasn’t only his powerful voice, but his way of life: honest, rooted, and never pretending to be anyone but himself. Toby once said: “Country is about real people, real stories.” And his career was the clearest proof of that. The lesson from Toby Keith doesn’t lie in the number of hits, but in the courage to live authentically — letting music become a mirror of a man’s soul, and of an entire generation.

Kris Kristofferson and Toby Keith showed that country music isn’t just about guitars and twang—it’s about truth, service, and standing for something greater than yourself. One used poetry to challenge and reflect. The other used power and pride to uplift. Together, they remind us that country music has heart, history, and honor.

“He didn’t give birth to me – but he chose to love and raise me as his own.” Not everyone is lucky enough to be born into their father’s arms, but Shelley Covel Rowland had something even more precious: a man who chose to love and raise her as his own. When he became part of the family, Toby Keith didn’t make a show of it or try to claim a title — he simply stayed quietly present, protecting and caring with all the patience and sincerity a father could give a child. It was a bond that didn’t need blood to hold it together — only a heart big enough to embrace and remain steadfast through the years. And for Shelley, it changed her life forever.
