Krystal’s childhood in the Keith home was quite ordinary, even though her father became an overnight sensation in the country music industry with his breakthrough song from 1993, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy.”
…When curious onlookers tried to find a way into Krystal’s life, she would frequently respond that her father worked a typical 9–5 job.
Krystal exclusively told News , “I think I thought everybody’s dad had a job like my dad… he might as well have been a plumber.”
Actually, I told folks that was what he did. “What does your dad do for a living?” was a question I would often get asked once people learned about his identity and came to me knowing the answer. I would say, ‘He’s a plumber,’ etc.
“They would ask, ‘What’s his name?'” And Mark was always the one.”
Should friends remain unconvinced by Krystal’s tale, she possessed a fallback option with a readily identifiable moniker.
