Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on September 28, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Billy Montana! You're the man who gave Garth Brooks and Sara Evans hits that made us sing along (sometimes off-key) in our cars. Your songwriting magic has turned everyday moments into timeless country anthems—though we're still trying to figure out how you make heartbreak sound so catchy!

And let's not forget your own chart success with "Baby I Was Leaving Anyhow," which climbed all the way up to #40. Clearly, even when you're leaving, you're winning! Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as you've given fans through your music—and maybe a cake big enough for a cowboy hat or two.
