    life is hard, but a real man, a real family man will always do what it takes to keep the family safe, and happy for as long as the Lord will let him.

      Amen. Unfortunately there aren't many men like that anymore. Least ways not where I live. It's sad to see. But there's not much we can do to change it except be the best we can and respect those who are dear to us and even to some regard those who aren't

    I'm an 18 year old "Metal-Head" guy, but no matter what is going on, this song still makes me smile. It reminds me of my uncle, a true family man, worked every day of his life till the minute his heart stopped. People like him make this world worth fighting for. People like him give me hope.

    The first time I heard this song I teared up. Then Craig came in concert at a venue I used to work at for many years and I heard it live. It was shortly after this songs release. During sound check it was hard to hide emotion, the song hits so many in the heart especially me. Hearing him put the emotion of song out there live, even during sound check gave me goose bumps. I never got the chance to say thank you for that moment, so THANK YOU Craig, I use this song for motivation every time I find myself getting down about any BS in my life or day to day, its FAMILY, that comes first, Its FAMILY that drives me and its this song that really makes me feel the FAMILY man in me. Just wanted to share my thoughts.

While I'm only 20 and don't have a family I've helped my father every single summer working construction and doing side jobs while all my other friends go to the beach, I drive a 175k mile car, and work every day I don't have college classes while paying for my own schooling. A lot of my friends don't understand because I'm from Long Island not too many country folk round here and basically they get everything given to them.

    One of the very best Country singers there is. Craig is one of the most underappreciated artists. Country is swinging back around. He needs to re-release this on his 3rd album along with the beautiful Outskirts of Heaven and his cover of Royals.

    My Dad is just another of the untold men who was and is a classic "Family Man" Proud to try and walk in his shoes, the way he filled his own Father's so honorably.
