One of the greatest country songs ever written. Period.
Been a driver for 30 years, lost my wife and best friend this past year to disease, I'm a grandpa and this hit hard, thanks for such a wonderful song and one thats so true
Wow what a powerful song! As a father of 5 and being active duty US NAVY this song hits me hard. To all those men out there who are working hard to give your kids a better life remember they are a GIFT not an obligation. All to often we take that for granted. We need men in this country to build strong, God fearing children who are driven to do the same when they are grown.
Thanks Brother!
HOO-AH! Here's to all warrior daddy's.
MrJoRobb thank you so much for your service and the sacrifices you make for all of us.
I was fortunate to meet this man twice this summer in MT. He recognized my friend from texas. But I told him this song was exactly my dads life when me and my sis where growing up. I told him if I could write music I would write the other view point to this song.
Love you dad, I understand what you had to do.
One of the best written songs by one of the best songwriters there is!
This hits real close to home with me. Working in the oil fields in ND. It's not the dollar that strives me to be out here, it's the lessons learned and trying to teach my son that you have to do what it takes to provide.
Jahidi2 Right on its great sacrifice for your family that you make to be away home.
Jahidi2 they may be what is wrong with the world.
I live in the oilfields of ND. But this was man dad who was a house mover for 24 years. Only saw him two months out of the year when I was growing up. Song makes me reflect back to those times.
Jahidi2 baby girl is 1 year old and baby girl number two is due in 8 weeks. I have been away for two months now, out here trying to pay the bills in the Permian basin. Love this song. Hits close to home . God bless the working man and god bless the oilfield and the families of the men and women working it.
Love this guy! My wife and I were supposed go to one of his New Years' Eve concerts, but we weren't able to make it. I remember it was right after my first tour in Iraq, and my daughter (first born) came while I was deployed. This guy devoted this song to us that night. Unfortunately, we weren't able to be there because we didn't have a sitter, but he still posted it on his Facebook page. Classy guy and phenomenal artist!
This song is guaranteed to hit you in the nuts every time. I know other jobs feel it too but this hits way too close to home for someone on the railroad.
Being a 24yo over the road truck driver with a 4yo at the house. This song breaks me down and kicks my ass. Miss you Damien, you take care of your momma!
I drive as well although my daughter just turned 18. We both miss a bunch for sure. Hug that family!
my dad drove truck over the road through all my childhood and I never once doubted his love for me and we were very close til the day he died 2 years ago at age 70. Just wanted to re-assure you that children grow up unharmed by what their dads often fear will harm them.
I just want to hold my children. I miss them so much. I know they need a daddy but daddy needs them too.
Wow... what a beautiful song, and an amazing vocalist. I’m just finding this talent. I’m blown away. Amazing story teller.
"The hardest part about workin hard aint the bills ive got to pay it was you growing up while I was away"- Damn this cuts deep great song #Oilfieldstrong
Traveling and working hard, I missed a lot of birthdays, holidays and moments ya never get back. The stick drawings and notes are precious beyond words. But I'd trade them all to have been there to see him grow up. Now he's leaving for the army and sure to be having a family of his own. Alone I cry. In public I'm a rock. I sure do appreciate your song. Thanks
Might be the best song I have ever heard.
This song is my companion tonight. Just watched my daughter's first steps on video.
Christopher McConnell Stay strong buddy
Zane, thank you for this song good sir!
And here i am.... 9AM on a Friday.... Dust in my eyes.... Dammit.
My friend that is a over the road driver like me sent me this song a few years ago and told in his text message and I quote bet you are going to cry and to this day I still tear up! Being a father is a blessing!
I'm not much of a country music fan, but this song is really powerful.
Thats touches my heart knowing I wanted my boys to raise more than anything with thier mother as a family of one . And here I sit lonesome and torn that I relate to that so much so with momma leaving with them im left loving them while I was away .......
😐
Zane is one of the best and Charlie Worsham sitting in the background ain't no slouch either....
This is a beautiful song... I just don't understand why it doesn't have more views than this!!!
Bad Ass lyrics...Bad ass Vocals.....Bad ass acoustic..... Well done and memorable :)
My dad is out of town a lot for work and this really hit home for me.
this song is amazing and that's all I gotta say about that.
that sadly was my life too...I missed so much beging gone
I been on the boat for while and this is the trueth about the river
It is strange to me that people are jus now catching on to Zane. I have been a fan of his for about 4 years now due to a music loving brother that has recently passed away. He has shown me some really good acts but Zane Williams is the very best followed by slaid cleaves!!
Any man who is a father feels this song deep
It’s 2021 and I still remember smelling my moms breakfast and seeing my dad in the dining room and being able to hear him after not being able to after months of him working and I still remember the look he gave l as if I was an adult already
Worked on a line haul boat for past 5yrs...my daughter will be 9 in a month..hits home...
This is the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time. The stick people picture is what really got me. Daddy's need to hear this song.
This video should have a million likes. Stunning performance
Great song bro love the lirics and it touches my heart bc I been in the oilfields 10 ys my oldest is 8 my first 28 hitch I left he was crawling I came home to him walking first time I seen it I started tearing up grabbed him to hug him and he started screaming like he didn't know who it broke my heart I put him down and he ran to his mom
Gets me every time...What a beautiful song!
It takes a great state to recognize great talent! Glad you came to Texas and wish you nothing but success!!
Amy Parlow He's from Abilene.
First time hearing this song today as I’m out of town for work. Missing my girls! Excellent song!
One of the best sings ever written! Thrilled that I saw you perform this live last Friday night at Spicewood Vinyards. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
This song hits you right in the feelings when you can relate to it. Haven't been home in a month, couple weeks to go.
Wow, this hits home.

a guy named Randy Hughes has gotten 500,000 views covering this on facebook
Adam Tesch Pat Green cut it and had a #1 hit on the Texas charts with it. I like Zane's version better but songwriting pays the bills too. I know he's happy for Pat as well as himself.
Texas music is rigged... if it wasnt, this guy would be famous... damn, what a talent
He did a better job on this than pat green. Great work fellas
Great song!!!
