Toby Keith is the debut studio album by American country music artist Toby Keith.^[2] Released on April 20, 1993, by Mercury Records, it features the singles "Should've Been a Cowboy", "He Ain't Worth Missing", "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action", and "Wish I Didn't Know Now". Respectively, these songs peaked at No. 1, No. 5, No. 2, and No. 2 on the Hot Country Songs charts. The album sold more than one million copies in the United States, earning RIAA platinum certification. All the songs, except for "Some Kinda Good Kinda Hold On Me" and "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action", were written solely by Keith.

"A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action" was previously recorded by Hank Williams, Jr. on his album Maverick (1992).

A remastered 25th anniversary edition, retitled Should’ve Been a Cowboy as a nod to the hit single from the album, was released on November 30, 2018, with three new bonus tracks added.^[3]
