"Dream Walkin'" is a song co-written and performed by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released in January 1998 as the third single from his album of the same name. It peaked at number 5 in the United States, and number 3 in Canada. Keith wrote the song with Chuck Cannon.
The song is about a man who repeatedly dreams about a former lover who haunts his memory: "just like smoke through a keyhole/she slips in so silently/mmm, she's walkin' around in my dreams."
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that it "boasts a strong melody boasted by tasty guitar licks." She goes on to call the lyrics "very visual" and say that Keith "delivers a winning performance with his full-throated country baritone exploring every lyrical nuance."[1]
