Not sure if it's true or not, but I heard this song is about how much Toby Keith regrets not taking the contract he was offered with the Dallas Cowboys.

@ja3688 It came to him when he was in Dodge City, KS. He was with a group of hunters. Older hunter guy asked a waitress for a dance and she turned him down. But a younger cowboy asked he and they danced. The "Never hung his hat at kitty's place" is a direct reference to miss kitty's that's a restaurant here in Dodge. He's done several interviews about it.
