6. Don't Let The Old Man In
Don't Let The Old Man In came about while sharing a golf cart with Clint Eastwood who was 88 at the time, Keith asked him where he gets his energy. Eastwood replied, "I just get up every morning and don't let the old man in".
And that hook inspired Keith to write this song, which Eastwood included at the end of the movie "The Mule". Keith was actually sick when he recorded it and was going to re-do it but Eastwood took it as is.
