Lyrics:
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
My step daddy took me on when I was 2. I'll never forget the look on his face the day he met my son, my mum picked me up from the hospital and we put my baby in his car seat on the kitchen table, you've never seen someone fall in utter love with another human as quick as my step dad did with my newborn son. My son is now 16, my mum and step dad have divorced but my step dad still treats me and my son exactly as if we were his own. Their bond is incredible. It's not blood/DNA it's time and care.
team tucker sketo we love you and so does your daddy blood is not irrelivelvent
My mom was divorced with four kids and she met a man who forever changed our lives. Thank you Brad for remembering all those dads.
That made me cry, that's the same for us, a single mum with 4 preteens. God love him. Cuz he sure loved us.😢
Beautiful story ❤️
Same here ❤
I met my wife when her (my) son was five. He sent me this link today. I have never introduced him as my step son, ever. He's my boy. My precious young man is 28 now with his own family. Damned country music and it's onion delivery services got me in the chest again. I love my boy! I'm proud to be his Dad.
❤ this comment bro...theres not a lot of us out here like that
Onions for sure!!!
Treadhead my husband always says I have 4 children he never says I have 2 and 2 stepchildren he’s never uttered those words and as the mother of those babies that means everything. I know you are loved beyond measure. My mother used to have a saying “padre es el que crié” a father is the one who raises those children. ❤️
Treadhead beautiful ❤️
Treadhead God bless you.
I lost my stepdad 3 days ago at the age of 60. He is the man who raised me and made me who I am today. I always thought of him every time I heard this song. He loved my mother so much that he had no problem being a dad for me and my younger sister. I made sure this song was played at his funeral today. I love you Jeff! Thank you for being there for me for nearly 40 years when you didn’t have to be.
I married a wounderful woman 8 yrs ago whom had a son from a previous relationship. I asked her 8 yr old son could I date his mom. He said yes. I told him he needed to come along with us to keep his mom safe. He went everywhere with us. 6 months later I asked Henry could I marry his mom. He said yes. 3 months later we married. Not to long AFTER BEING MARRIED, Henry called me dad. I told Henry I'm not your dad, you can call me Charles, mr.glisson or you can call me dad, his response, NO, I RATHER CALL YOU DAD BECAUSE, YOU TREAT ME MORE LIKE A DAD THEN MY OWN DAD....... TEARS FROM ME..LOVE YOU HENRY...LOVE DAD
The world needs more amazing men like you!!!
That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
So sweet
Im not crying, you're crying!
You're the most wonderful man
My mom had me when she was 17. She met the man I call my dad when I was just over a year old. He didn't hesitate. He married my mom when I was 18 months old. He took us in and raised me as his own. I ended up with a brother and a sister because of him. He taught me life lessons. Fixed my heart and my car. I lost my mom in June of 2019 to cancer, and then my dad to a heart attack in October the same year. I will be 49 years old on February 3, and I have NEVER once doubted who my DAD was. I am married to my best friend, who had 2 kids when I met her. I have 2 daughters from previous relationships. We both say we have 4 kids. Step is not a word in our house.
You must not have stairs lol jk it was opposite for me my dad was there mom wasn’t until he found the love of his life
@@tjaranha1936 Stairs?
T
I know what it feels to lose to people in such a short time and I'm sorry for your loss
It was supposed to be a heart and smile face figure, but I can't figure out how to put them... so... just imagine my little red heart and smile face as an answer to this comment. :)
On Saturday we're saying goodbye to my daddy. Sixty years ago my parents brought me home from the adoption agency as a little six week old baby. He was a farmer and as he went about his day on our farm, I was his little shadow. His patience was endless as he'd wait for my little legs to catch up with his long strides no matter how busy he was. He never complained about my endless chatter and always stopping to take the time to answer my endless questions. My parents were always very open about me being adopted and shared with me what they knew about my birth parents. They told me that my mother was only 17 and was British and that my father had been been born in Italy. One evening when I was 9 years old my German heritage parents said we were going out for dinner to the city. My dad took us to the only Italian restaurant he knew of "Dave's Pizza" 😅 and ordered me spaghetti and meatballs, something we never ate at home. He told me "You're going to love this because you're half Italian!" When I was 21 I found my birth parents. They had married each other two years after my birth and I had a full younger sister and brother. My parents were very happy for me and welcoming to my birth family. Within a year my two father's became close friends. As my birth parents got divorced soon after my birth father would often go to my parent's farm and help my dad. While they worked my dad shared every story of my childhood he could remember with my birth father including the time when I was 16 and ran away from home for a week because some boy asked me to marry him. My dad was a cowboy who loved the mountains, so one summer he took my birth father on a two week horseback trip to the mountains. Just the two of them. My dad wasn't a man of endearing words but he showed his love by his actions. As a little girl he'd show up from town with a pretty dress he'd picked out for me all on his own from the local dress shop. Every year on February 15 he'd come home from town with a heart shaped box of chocolates for mom, myself and my little sister that he'd buy for half price. I thought that made him the smartest man in the world. The minute I turned sixteen he traded one of his cows so I had a car. He wasn't the richest man and we didn't go on fancy European vacations but he always managed to take us on a holiday somewhere each summer. Born in 1926 into a poor family he had to quit school when he finished grade three and went to work for the neighbour picking roots for fifty cents a day. He was one of the hardest working and most honest men I've ever known and while he never even learned to read he managed to provide a wonderful life for our family through his hard work and sacrifices. Rest easy in Heaven dad. You deserve it! Until we meet again ❤
❤❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful biography. ❤
Wow
What a powerful testimony, your daddy be waiting for his girl with Jesus Christ ❤❤❤God bless you sister in the name of Jesus I pray Amen
beautiful story
I'm a 45 year old man that teared up hearing this. I met my stepnsons 7bywars ago and love them as if they were my own. The one I call my dad is actually my step dad too.
Thank you Dave P , Lew McC . 6/16/2024 and thanks Dad for being my mom and dad .
My stepdaughter came in to my life when she was 8. Her dad was still in her life and he contributed, from a distance. In the meantime we went thru all the things kids and parents go thru from that age. Fast forward and she’s getting married. I stayed back in the wings as she still had a father and I wasn’t there to steal his thunder. I have to say tho I was so honoured when she played this song for our dance that I wasn’t even expecting. That was years ago and this song, that dance and all the times we spent together still can bring a tear to my eye! I could have never asked for a better step daughter. I love you Amanda
This song reminds me so much of my step dad. He met my mom when I was five years old. Papa I call him was a great man. My mom had nine children. I don't know to many men that would step up like he did and raise nine kids that wasn't his. He was hand picked by God for such a task. He passed away 2 months ago and I miss him so much. I know he went on to get his reward for all he did for us. Rip Papa.....🥲
He definitely was a great man for that. I think he's gotten his reward. Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
He was a wonderful man
Those men are few and far between. They’re a rare gem. We were raised by one and there are 3 of us. We’re all grown now and we just lost him 2 days ago. So thank you to those men who also feel the same way. He wasn’t a step-dad. He was a step up dad who took up the responsibility he didn’t have to.
This song has made me realize how much I should love my fiancé son 😢 who's cutting onions 2024??
5 year stepdad still getting those feels buddy. Keep being the dad you didn't have to be.
Honestly kids are never wrong in divorce. A child is also apart of the mother, if you love her, you need to love the child.
I met my husband when I was 7months pregnant with my son....when my son was born he was immediately being Daddy...we wed when my son was 4 years old and he was our best man....what a beautiful day that was....
Lost my dad that didn't have to be twice, once when I was 16 when he and mom divorced after being married since I was 4. And again today as his went home to the Lord, I'm now 66. He was always my dad, one he'll of a man and thank God he was in my life for over 60 years!!!
My dad never wanted me but my stepdad never stopped loving me.
This was my first dance at my wedding with my stepdad. He's still the best man I know.
GREAT as if there werent enough invisible ninjas cutting onions in my room....
Lucky man
Same man same
Same and proud to have a dad who raised me!
It's 6 in the morning. Was not prepared for this. My mom was a single mom with 3 kids. She met my dad when I was 3. Married when I was 5. He raised me. He's my father.
some times second dads are better than first not allways but some times sounds like you got the sometimes merry christmas 2019
Me too
Super!
I'm already crying by freaking 2:16 am... I have a paper tomorrow
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 🥰💋💕😘
We played this song at my dads funeral. Thanks for all the good times dad .you took in a trouble boy and turned him in to man. Miss you every day
When I was 9 months old I was taken in by a loving family. I was adopted by that family at age 4. On Saturday I will be leaving the house I've in with my adoptive parents since I was 9 months old. I will be making a living for myself. Itll be bitter sweet. I'm 31 now. My adoptive mom passed last year from leukemia. I hope she is proud of the progress I've made since she passed. I now have a new adoptive mom who i met at the hospital during a mental health stay. She will never replace the mom I lost but I hope she can fill the void.
This is my daughter's song. I adopted her after her mom and I got married in the early 80s. My wife was a hard working single mom trying to do the best she could. I had never been around a 7 year old and it was all new to me. I was in the Air Force and having a child wasn't anything that entered my brain. I knew when I became part of the family I had one purpose, to make their lives the best they could be. Countless band events, dance recitals, and kid-friendly vacations kept us busy. The Air Force sent me on a remote tour for a year and I know what absence feels like. Today, as an 74 year old retired Chief Master Sergeant, I still have that purpose. My daughter graduated from college, got her Masters and now has a family of her own. She is a Colonel in the Air Force with massive responsibilities and is an outstanding leader. I like to think I helped mold some of that. Our grandkids stay overnight from time to time and love it here. The song hits close to home and I listen to it when I can. Thanks Brad for the song and video.
Incredible story! You definitely molded your daughter into the incredible woman she is today!
What a lovely story! My husband was away when our girls were growing up with the UK Army. We decided that I would stay put in one home with our daughters after seeing the impact on the them after five moves in seven years. You must be so proud of your daughter and yourself, to teach such ranks is hard work. This song is for my youngest, who was left to raise two little boys on her own when her ex returned to his country to marry, a girl no one ever knew he had! I pray my daughter finds a loving husband who will be a wonderful dad to her little boys xx
❤️You sir are a true man and father ❤️
Amen I’m the same way my stepdad calls me his son not step son even tho he isn’t married to my mom
Semper fidelis son
Anyone can be a father but it takes a real man to be dad
Amen completely agree
Ethel Hoose so true... ❤️
Agreed with you
He is your father son, but he was never your daddy.
Yes, I have to agree. I hope I can be half the mom he was the dad he didn't have to be. I had four examples of father stepping up. My bio dad, my adoptive father, my grandfather and uncle with his own adopted daughter.
M reading all these as testimonies I pray I find someone to love my boys and me❤
Trust GOD to put someone in your life ❤
I can't wait to walk down the aisle one day with this song as a single mum of two.
Nobody can tell life stories like country music singers.
10000000000% agreed!
Nobody can tell real stories like brad paisley lol
If only you spoke Spanish. Those boys tell 'em just as well if not better sometimes.
Agree
True
Hope I’m half the Mom, my stepmom didn’t have to be til the day she passed.
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, I hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..
I was nine years old and my brother was eleven when our mom died. Six years later, our dad remarried. She stepped in and took care of two teenagers like we were her own kids, and I thank God for her every day for that. She helped shape us into the adults we are today. I am glad to call her mom.
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 💕
Hi Rebecca, how are you
This sing hits hard now he came into our lives when my son was three. A child so traumatized to even speak to a man. This wonderful man got him to see he is special and one of a kind. Now he runs to him every chance he gets. He may remember his birth father but that is his daddy. Thank you Conway
I didn't know my dad wasn't my biological father till I was 14. He was there from day one. Met my mother while she was pregnant with me and never flinched not once. He is my Father no matter what. I had my son in January of 2023. Like the song says... I hope I'm at least half the Dad he didn't have to be. My Father chose me and my mom and I thank God every day that he did. I just hope to God I can be as good to my son as he has been to me
My stepdad came into my life when I was young and he taught me so much.He not only took me and treated me like his daughter but my two other siblings.Our first year he bought us everything in the store for Christmas and then bought us a real home.I could never understand how a man could love us all and give up everything.He was a single man and took on three kids.As a kid I never realized how much he really did for us.Here I sit and cry because that man let my real father come over anytime he wanted and never once was upset about it.He even gave my real dad a car to come see us!!! 😢
The perfect man
Wow!
Wow. Incredible love story.
Damn, he’s got the purest heart and he knows he’s loved by his family.
Hat’s off to your superhero dad.
An angel
Same , my step dad came in when I was 2.
What a beautiful tribute to all the dads that didn't have to be
Reminds me of my late hibanshe was my children s Daddy dad❤
❤BEAUTIFUL SONG❤😊😢
I met my son when he was year in half now be is 16teen I’m so proud of him he js a great young boy i love him so much
Best cuck song I've heard for sure.
Just lost my dad May 29th . Man what a soul. My mom was pregnant with me . He’s the one who took care of her made sure she ate made sure she was good. I wish I had his blood. Cause they don’t make ‘em like him ever. I’ve got a long way to go to be half the man he was and even longer to be the father he is.
Just lost my dad may 13
@@brokenbeautifuly21 may god bless them always and grant us clarity and strength to deal with the losses of these irreplaceable men
My sweet husband of 39+ years went to heaven last evening. 😥
Shout out to all the dads and moms that didn't have to be!!
Mine was what this song speaks about!
Sorry for your loss, hope you are feeling better?
God bless you.
What a tribute to a stepdad. It takes a special person to raise a kid that isn’t theirs like they were. Thank God for good stepparents.
I personally could never relate to this song, but I always founded it nice to hear it a long time ago.
Few years back I married my girl and she has a son from a previous marriage. I always try my best to gain his respect as his father. For years I sometimes felt I failed. Until recently he sent me a link to this song, dedicating it to me.
Couldn't hold the tears.
I sat on my bed feeling so proud and accomplished...I love my boy, and my boy loves his father.
I bet Sure enough i would be a mess.
This is so sweet!!
I hope all in your position are as lucky. There is a difference in those who choose to love than those obligated to love. Teen years are hard though.
My step father stepped up and took me and my siblings in. Greatest dad ever! And i tip my hat to you.
Aww that's so sweet
My step dad just passed away. I'm listening to this in tears. He did so much for my mom and I. We miss him dearly. He already had kids before marrying my mom, but he was still the dad to me he didn't have to be. He taught me so much.
Rest easy. This one's to you, dad.
I find myself in similar situation I pray for God's strength and guidance to be able to take good care of her and the mother ❤❤❤❤
My husband died when I was 5 weeks pregnant. The man I married when that child was 6 months old has been the most wonderful dad ever to that boy. Their bond is tight. Blessed. Yep, Brad Paisley, didn't have to be. But did .
God bless your family!
Absolutely right that happens with me a real life
My dad came into my life when I was one year old and never turned around and ran... My own father ran out on me, My daddy raised me as his own, now I am 28 years old, and he is dying from cancer, and today is his birthday... Happy Birthday daddy, thank you for being there, even when you didnt have to be.. Thank you for being my daddy when my father couldnt even be there for me.. Any man can be a father, but only a special man can be a daddy, thank you for being such an amazing man and being a part of my life, I love you more than words can describe, and I am so happy that I am with you everyday, I love you...
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 🥰💋💕😍💕
I'm not my daughter's biological father. I've been her life since the night she was born. I don't call her my step daughter. I call her my daughter.
Same thing here
@@Christopher-de6vy I'm glad that there are men like us in this world
Blood don't make them yours I've been in the same situation since 8 years ago . Those are my kids and will always be.
I'm a single mother here, some days are harder than others. May God bless you abundantly
Ya my parents have been divorced since I was 3. I got lucky my mom got good boyfriend for 8 years that he was more of dad than my dad
I just lost my step dad this past Sunday he came into our lives when I was 10, he was my world. I loved him so much for choosing to love me when he didn’t have to. I’ll miss you forever daddy, they say it gets easier but I know it won’t. This pain is so unbearable.
Loved my stepdad so much that when my mom divorce him I went to live with him......God bless real men
I have been there too. When I got back from a deployment I lived with my ex step dad
i did too and i love my step dad so very much
Same situation with me. My dad's a sweetheart and an absolute goofball! I showed this to him father's day last year and he started crying. I didn't care that mom and him were divorced. My mind was made up. He's my dad. It takes a real man to be so understanding and kind and loving to boy with disabilities. I love my dad. Never again will I have to spend a lot of my life without a dad.
real men reproduce
I did that too with my 3rd step dad, she left and I stayed with him.
My daughter is now 14 years old. I came into her life when she was just 3 years old. She never knew her real dad. He was killed on his job when she was only 15 months old. She tells me when she listens to this song, that it is our song DADDY!!!! That she is so happy that I came into her life to be her DADDY.
@Cracked cc thank you
Thank you
@Jerome Spade:
It sucks that your stepdaughter's biological father died when she was so young and that she never had any chance to get to know him, but it's very admirable that you stepped up as a surrogate father to her
You might not have been the one to give her life, but you're the only one who she's known as "Dad"
Beautiful story! God bless men such as yourself!
@@ForeverFam Thank you
I couldn't ask for a better song to pay tribute to all the dad's that stepped up when they didn't have to but they did. It bring tears to my eyes no matter how many times I listen to it ❤❤🎉
Yes
I pray that our Lord 🙏 have more father's in this world so caring like that father may God 🙏 bless us with more family like
In these evil time of Jesus Christ return to deliver his
Chosen one Amen 🙏🌞💔
Hello Cynthia... how are you doing?
To all those dads that stepped up, dam few! My dad was that man, I was abandon and was being raised by nuns from birth and adopted by my parents when I was in the toddler phase. The story, well, my dad was in a diner having a breakfast sandwich when he learned of a little boy needing a home. He replied to this man "I’ll be his dad" and shortly thereafter I was legally adopted into a family where I had three other adopted siblings. My dad never told me that story. I was told by a family member who knew the man that told my dad about me. I simply say thank you for giving this kid a chance at life. On his death bed, while kneeling beside him and holding his hand, I thanked him for a wonderful life and being one hell of man. It made me the man I am today. RIP Dad, I miss both you and mom every day... To my adopted son, I hope I'm half the man to you, that my dad was to me.
Awesome! God is love!
I love this song very much it get too my heart
Never had a real dad, he ran away from me and mom even before my 1st birthday, so this song really gets me. Thank God for my stepdad
He's not your stepdad. He's a dad who stepped in.
i came into my step sons life when he was one. i am still here for him everyday and would never leave his side.
WAYFARING STRANGER after my real dad died my best friends dad stepped up and he’s been my father figure for the the past 11 years
WAYFARING STRANGER I wish my step dad is like yours....
WAYFARING STRANGER, I played this at my step dads funeral. They are a blessing!
This is a very beautiful video. But the true stories on all these comments section are even more beautiful.
I hope someday me and my little boy can go from something missing To a family ….. too !
Love light to all
Hello 👋, how are you doing desperte

Jes Taylor Designs it’s going to be mine too 💗

I wish you all the best in life
Congratulations, I played this song at my wedding and danced with both of my stepdads. It was hard to find the perfect song, but this one spoke to me.
I don’t even have a bf but this will for sure be my song with my stepdad at my wedding!
This song makes me tear up every time. My dad came
Into my life when I was 8 and although he and my mom got divorced when I was 17,he never left us. In fact I lived with him after the divorce. I’m 26 now and my “step dad” will forever and always be my daddy.
I am sorry I Am Soto I am broken love you
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 🥰💋💕💝
Hi Stephanie, how are you doing?
Love this song. This was my step-dad. Came in my life at age 10 and made me the man I am today.
LOVE that!
Same here. My dad became my dad right before I was 7 and I owe him so much. I hope to record myself playing this song for him. He deserves it and so does every dad like him. 17 now and I can’t imagine life without him
Thank you, Ryan and Allie
I'm giving the rights of my three beautiful children( age 8, 7,& 5) to my wonderful husband. Technically stepdad but he's the leader in are family. And I will make sure that my children have the utmost respect for that man that didn't have to be a dad❤
God bless my husband 😭 he is a true gift from God and so selfless and loving, he loves all of our children the same
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 🥰💋💕💯
i pray my sister finds a man like this to take care of her daughter..Amen
amen
Am praying for my siz too
Amen
Amen..☺
I am praying for her and he daughter
As a Dad of 2 adopted kids, this song hits me right in the chest every time, gets my eyes all teary.
Me as well I adopted 2 kids as well so I know how you feel
Just like my father. Just the same way me and my biological sister call him dad, I bet they do for you as well. My biological father was an abusive drug and alcohol addict which ended up killing him early on in a car accident. Though theirs may be different it’s not about who gave birth to you but who chooses and wants to love you. Thank you for being the man you didn’t have to be.
As adoptee this hits home as well
BRAD PAISLEY IS PURE COUNTRY AND AN INCREDIBLE ENTERTAINER. AND SO GENUINE God Bless You And Your Family .❤❤❤
I met the man I call my dad when I was 4 years old, and was eventually adopted by him legally when I was 10. I first heard this song when I was 16 driving down our street and had to pull over because I was sobbing uncontrollably. This was my father/daughter dance song at my wedding, and once I had the opportunity to meet Brad Paisley at my work. I didn't want to sound like a star struck woman, but had to thank him for this song that brought my father and I so much closer together and how much it meant to us! I'll forever be a daddy's girl, and this will forever be our song! I'm so thankful for my daddy!
+Janet Duke I heard it while driving too. And had to pull over because I was sobbing. I have been blessed with two amazing "step" dads. but they were just dad to me.
Yeah pretty much lol :D I just bought his first album on a whim, and i'm really glad I did.
+Nia DePas were they gay?
420BLUNTLEY does it matter?
My Dad handed me a Bible with my new last name. My real father is a piece of shit but my dad is irreplaceable
my parents got divorced when i was three. i met the man i called my dad when i was five. i don’t refer to him as my stepdad because he was a better dad to me than my actual dad. he was the man who stepped up. he raised me as his own without hesitation. this song will always make me cry because of how much i relate to it.
I am in a similar situation, my biological dad used to treat me very poorly and beat on me until I was 16. My mom met my stepdad when I was about 14 and at first it was quite hard (especially on my stepdad), but now I see him as my father and my son oinly has one granddad on my side and that is my stepdad (he is also the godfather of my son) and I must say that the only one losing out in this situation is my biological father as he will never be able to see his grandson (unless my son would desire to meet him for some reason that is).
Blood is thicker than water but love is thicker than blood
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
@@glennjones5832 I am doing quite Well, I have a wonderful son and I aim to be a good dad to him Every day and I can say it's working.

Hi Jenna, how are you doing?
@Jenna Kaufman. I agree what’s your favorite song
I’m the product of a stepfather. He passed away on Father’s Day June 16, 1991. Today is very hard even thought it’s 33 years later. This song hits home hard.
I didn't have a step dad. i have a step mom. I lost my mother at age 8. The lady that is now my step mom was only supposed to be there to help my single father take care of me and my two sisters. She is always a text or a phone call away if i need someone to talk to. My dad didn't marry her until after the three of us had grown up and moved out. Very greatful for her and glad she is in my life🫂
Being a single mother with no help this song breaks me down every time. I pray God finds me someone not just a husband but a father my son will look up to. If any of you are a child of a single mother just know her heart hurts for you.
❤❤❤❤❤
I actually just started hanging out with a single mother of 2 and hope she gives me the chance to prove myself.
You’ll find some one
@Tonya Brewer:
Don't worry, there's a guy out there who will be willing to accept your child as his own, even if he isn't your child's biologic father
Guys who are willing to step up to the plate and be a dad to a child fathered by another man are rare, but they're out there
Sweetheart it's the same prayer I pray again and again being a single mom it's so hard
If you ever need a good cry session, just listen to this song and read the comments. Its been almost 10 years since i cried, and I've now managed to cry a teaspoon full of tears
Brad is one of if not tge greatest country singers of all time
Is that what that burning sensation is. I can't see.
This song it the true story to my brother life, my brother was 5 months old when my dad came into his life and married my mom and then 10 years later I came along
I hear that. I lost my dad to cancer 13 years ago. This song brought back memories of the good times that we had together. This song is very touching
Like 👍 you are the one ☝️ who should have been arrested and charged with treason and the rest is history but you have been convicted and convicted and convicted of treason and ❤lying about everything you have done ✅
I am a stepfather for more than nine years now. I hope one day my kids will say such things about me. Waiting on some grandchildren like nobody's business...
I adopted my son when he was 2yrs old.He said I'm the only Dad he know's. Even though he knows the whole picture.Im blessed to have him in my life..Cant wait to see him next week on his 2 week leave.(Army),He's been in 5yrs.He is home best Christmas ever.
My stepdad l mean dad come into my life when I was two weeks old and now I'm 41 and my dad has been there from day one for me and his two grandsons. I love you dad.
Thank you for following my page , Support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to my music 💕😘
This is my song to my sisters husband. He thought of me like I was kid. Even after my niece and nephew were born. I was still his kid too
O how I wish there were still men out there with those values and to know that a mom and her kids are one and they are a package. But if you ever find one like that you are a lotto winner.
I met my step dad at a young age. He's been in my life for 18 years now I've learned so much. He's helped me through a lot. I just had my first baby 8 months ago. And I still pray I'm half the man and half the dad he is too me... this song hits home.

I love this song. My friend played this at her wedding for the father-daughter dance. The man she calls Dad came into her and her Mom's lives just before her first birthday. He raised her as his own and right after he and her Mom got married, he adopted her. She didn't tell him she picked this song. He's a big country music fan and especially loves Brad Paisley. As soon as he heard the first few chords of the song, he started to cry. And he cried thru the entire song. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Cool

This reminds me of my step dad... I cried while I was listening ... So I thanked my step dad for the dad he didn't have to be.
Anyone can be a father..it takes a real man 2 be a DAD...i still have my father in the world but MY DAD was taken 2 heaven 20 years ago..and my brother(step brother) and I are closer than most blood related and I played this for him and we shed a tear of joy thinking of the man in our lives that was a man that he didn't have 2 be

As a single mother this wouod be a dream come true as i have 2 girls and their father died over 3 yrs ago..... Someday soon i hope, they are 10&12 and they need a father figure in their lives because as hard as i try i am not man enough 💔
This song holds a special place in my heart. It doesn't only apply to my "dad" but my "mom" too. My real mom didn't want me or my brother and sister after we were born,and her sister took us in. The man I call father, proposed knowing we were apart of my aunt's life. In 2003, my younger brother and sister and I were put under the guardianship of my aunt and uncle. They have loved us and made sure we were happy. They could have let the state take us, but they didn't. And I love them more then I can express. I'll be leaving for college soon, and I will miss them. They are and will forever be my mom and dad
This beautiful poem made song touched my heart. My granddaughter has such a father in her life…and he didn’t have to be. He adopted her when she was 4. His first official business 3 months after marrying my daughter. He didn’t have to, he wanted to.
Hello, how are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.
I lost the man I called my dad last year around Christmas you may not have been my real father but he was more of a dad then my own father ever would have been you love me like I was in the Son and I miss him dearly this song helps a lot whenever I hear

I got 2 very beautiful bonus daughters.... man this ole song hits like a freak train everytime they play for me.. ❤ my babies 5 years strong!
I am with a man who stepped up to the plate and became my son's dad when my son was 15 yrs old. They are inseparable today my son is 35 yrs old and my grandchildren call him Grandpa and he is so proud of my son and my grandchildren. I'm a big fan of yours Brad from the very beginning of your career. Keep up all the great songs.

Ah this song makes me emotional ah...what a song. This makes me feel sad. My father left when i was 3 so it didnt bother me much as a kid. My,sister her father left when she was about 7-8ish. shes 11 now and I feel worse for her than I did for me.....she was older than I when her father left and shes more mature for her age, she feels more,understands more and has more reason to feel the anger she does. If a man is going to leave his children, he should leave sooner rather than later cause the more the years go by, the more the child thinks youll always be there.

I dedicate this song to my father, whom has taken on that responsibility since I was 2 years old. He was only a couple years older than I am now when he came into my life.
Family has never been determined by blood, but rather bond. He is, in every way that truly matters, my real dad.
I AGREE THERE THE BOND IS NUMBER 1 SADLY MY FATHER PASSED IN 2004
This reminds me of my brother in-law he is an amazing man for my sister and that's what keeps me respect for him always❤❤❤❤❤❤
i was raised by my adopted father ,,,,,but to me hes the best father any kid could want ...a father is not a man who gives his genes ,,,a father is who raises u and is there for u in good and bad, he was not only my dad ... he was my best friend.. ....i miss u dad... but i know ur watching me from heaven,,, i love u dad...and i miss u ...i know your watching over me..and some day well see eachother again...and we'll never be apart again..
I am sryy for your loss if you are happy you will meet your dad again and never separate from him😊
juan vaglienty I agree, I lived with my "Real" Father (who still lived with his dad) but my Grand-Father is the one who raised me, and he was a Trucker meaning he was only around on the weekends if he were lucky, its sad but a lot of "dads" are not really "Fathers".
Raised by my adopted parents and I couldn't imagine anything better. They are such a blessing.

juan23 vaglienty I agree .praying for you
This song will always hold such a special place in my life. My dad ran out on us when I was 7, my oldest brother assumed the sorta role with me. He taught me so much while our mom was in the hospital and assumed way more responsibility than he should have ever been expected. Sadly he passed when I was 15 but in that window and beyond he has helped me so much.
I’m sorry for your loss, but know he’s still looking down watching over you.
Condolences to you the first time I heard this song was with my first foster dad. Later when I met the man who helped my mom get me back. He was a wonderful man and he was better than my biological father.
I’m so sorry 😢for your loss.
Very sad that what happened to us when my dad passed my brother was our support is hard because he passes too😔😔❤
How wonderful but also how tragic!! I am so sorry for your loss of your brother, your dad is a piece of crap! I am glad you had your brother for the time you did and hope you see him again one day.
My mother met the man I call my dad when I was 4 (I just turned 45 and they're still married to this day).. we've never said "step", it's always dad & son. First time I heard this song I cried cuz this was us perfectly, and every Father's Day & birthday I play this for him
Bless him!!
Awesome story. I was fortunate to have my dad from day one and this song still tears me up when I hear it. I lost my dad four years ago in October and there is nothing in this world like a good dad, whether he's a father by birth, marriage, or adoption.
I met my dad in a very difficult time in my life I lost my daughter he took me under his wing and i love him he now has cancer and I'm in a spot where i don't know if i can carry on after he's gone.
Yesterday my husband officially adopted my little girl, she just turned two. He and I have been together since she was 10 months old. And she knows him as Daddy. Her biological dad just walked out of her life when she was only 2 months old. This song reminds me so much of the selfless act my husband has shown by taking and loving her as his own when he didn't have to. He is such an amazing husband and father.

Today is my dads birthday he passed away almost three years ago. He was there for me when my own father couldn’t be. I love you dad one day we will all be together again.
Aww mann I need to listen to more country music 🎶
This is soo beautiful I'm crying, I have to bury my Step Dad in 4 days I'm soo heartbroken 💔 😭😭
The best 28 years of my life.
R.I.P Dad love and miss you soo much
When my mom married my dad after my natural mom passed when I was four, she adopted us four children back in 1969. This song makes me cry every time and makes me so appreciate and love her! She brought our heart-broken family joy and normalcy again.
Hello Julie... how are you doing?
Hi Julie, how are you doing?
@Julie Curll. I’m sorry for your loss but happy your story ended well what’s your favorite song
Today is the first time I've listened to this song since my wife of 17 years passed away after a battle with cancer. She absolutely ADORED/LOVED Brad's songs. She had a son with her first husband. Without fail, when she wanted to express to me her gratitude to me for 'stepping up' as they say, she would reference this song. I am in an absolute breakdown right now. I miss her beyond measure, but I still talk to my stepson (he's 30 now) on the phone pretty regularly.

Thinking of you Jared. My husband passed away 5/28/19 his loss has shattered and devastated our family.

@@johnnydepp4472 Go away 😡Fake Account
My grandfather who has helped raise me alongside my grandmother lost a fight with cancer 2 days ago. It was a side effect of agent orange, he was a veteran and a damn good father. He was a man that no one could dislike, this Earth is down one more angel.😢
I'm in love with an amazing girl that has a beautiful daughter that I absolutely adore and I truly feel this is the one I'm meant to spend my life with. It's weird because Ive always thought I'd want a kid of my own after I got married as the first child in our marriage but after meeting this little girl I want her to be apart of me just as much as her mom is. There's no amount of hours I wouldn't work to give her what she wants or time I'd spend with her that her biological father doesn't to make her know she is wanted and cherished. I just hope I can be the man/dad in her life she deserves.
Any man can be a father, it takes someone special to be a daddy!! Trust me, I have both!
+Zach Bowen WOW ZACH THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME CRY. YOU'RE AN AMAZING MAN AND THAT LITTLE GIRL AND HER MOM ARE REALLY LUCKY. I WISH YOU AND YOU'RE FAMILY A LIFE TIME OF HAPPINESS. GOD BLESS.
You are an amazing man! You sound alot like my husband when we met 27 years ago, we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary soon and ALL of my children call him dad!! My son will be "giving me to him" and I will be walking down the isle with this song playing. God bless you and your family!

+Zach Bowen With what you feel for that little girl and her mom, she will always know how loved she really is. I had the privilege of dancing with my step-daughter to this song at her wedding last September. That too few minutes of my life will never leave me. I know you will have a lifetime of those kind of moments.
For anyone feeling like they need to find another parent for their kids, just know that kids can survive just fine with one parent. My mom spent so much time trying to find a husband that 5 "dads" Later I have no idea if she's still married to the last one because she and i haven't talked in pertnear 10 years. Anyway, single parent life may be tough but it doesn't last long. Peace everybody ✌

I met my dad when I was about five. There were three of us kids. I was a bitter young man but dad was always there. He was best man at my first wedding and supported me when it didn't work out. He was beside me when I had to make the decision to take my second wife off life support. This has been my song to my dad for a long time.

I just recently lost my grandfather, and one of the first things they did at the service/wake was play this song. My father lost his dad when he was very young, and shortly after, my grandfather entered the picture and became his dad, and raised my dad and his two aiblings as his own. Then, when my grandmother died a number of years later, when some people would have left, he stuck around like the great man he was. And then when he got remarried to my current grandmother, he took on four more children, and loved every one of them. He may not have had any biological kids, but he had 7 children who all called him dad, and he loved every one of them. And then he had grandkids, and great grandkids, and we were all a great happy family, all thanks to one man who stuck around when he didn't have to, to be an amazing father to seven children not of his body, and a great grandfather to a number of grandchildren and great grand children. This song might as well have been written for him. RIP grandpa Al, I miss you so much.
u cant ask for a better dad! RIP grandpa al!
All you get is good...
Erik Zimmerman This story gave me chills. What a beautiful man he was!
I'm 52...don't know my biological father's name...but my grandad was all I ever needed...he passed on last year and boy this song hurts soon good..thank you mr.paisley
This song reminds me of my husband. He is a great dad to both my boys but we lost a son when he was 31 to MS. He is always there for them and for my son who we lost.
Hi Denise, how are you doing?
My dad died when i was about 7 years. and for 19 years i had no father figure and i felt so lonely but at 26 i found someone who steeped up to me as my dad and i'm forever grateful. Till today he is still my Dad. I love him and thank God for Him.
I don't know my dad my mom yes my dad and I was on the street with my stepdad and I was just a baby so I don't know my birth dad at all and I got adopted by my grandparents they became my mom and dad but I did not know my birth dad but all I know is his name
I'm so lonely without my mom and dad
It hurts so much
Lord please give me the strength to go on
He will!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!
Reminds of my current husband, who simply took my 3 children and took him as his own, my children think the world of him. He's more of a dad than their real father.
got married since 1994 we had 3 children but just in 2018 I found out the children were not mine, I thought about commiting suicide but now I realize everything happens for a reason nothing is worth dying for. I wanted to be a good father

I was a single mom of a little girl and pregnant with my second little girl when I met my husband. They didn’t even know what a dad was. He went through labor and delivery with me and fell head over heals in love. Those girls are now 4 and 6 and we have 3 little boys together. So all the single moms out there don’t lose hope.
My wife and I were both single parents. Then we had 2 together. I always told the kids, the only steps in this house are those that lead up to your bedrooms.
It has been 21 years now.
Hi Jordan, how are you doing?
Eminem song is the best of dem all also the beat How are you doing Jordan?
To any stepfathers out there, our culture does not honor you for the choice and sacrifice you make for children not your own; but at least in this genre of music and in small pockets of culture, you have honor given to you. Whatever may come, know that even if you face hardships or derision there are those who will give you honor. My God bless you for that choice and even if He does not in this life, may you continue in all that good and righteous.
