My old man taught me that your only as good as your word. Look someone in the eyes and shake hands on a deal, and that is the only contract needed. I'm 70 now and hope that is still a thing. Thanks for this song.
That's exactly the way my old man was, and how I've operated all along mainly because of that upbringing. I'm the same age and have unfortunately realized that far too many ppl don't possess that level of honor, or in considering their word as 'golden', and it's now becoming a lost honor for far too many.
I was taught that by my dad and his dad. It's disheartening when a whole city can't seem to be above board when hired to do a job, complete it, right the first time, as told and explained to. Guess I'm not the only one that sees things are different in the New World. 😡
I hurt, I remember letting my father down, disowned me, I thank God every day that he lived to see me turn my life around, build my own home, marry, have one daughter, and get my record expunged, sworn in as a deputy sheriff. Thank you God.
"I wish i could grow up all over again with my old man" that broke me....5yrs ago today 4/7/19 i lost my old man to cancer he was 61yrs young and i was 25yrs old with my first born son who was his first grandchild that he was excited for to take fishin n huntin and work on cars with, plans cut short and now i have my 2nd and final kid that line broke me bc id love to go back and cherish every moment all over again😔. Love and miss ya dad 82nd all the way!
My dad wasn't the greatest. But, i hope one day my kids will listen to this and think of me. To the dads out there live your life, so this song will bring tears of joy to your children when they are old enough to really understand. Thank you for this song, and god bless.
If a man has a son that thinks that highly of him, then his life was a success story. The song was well played on that guitar. The folks at Radio West Virginia have some great sound engineers. The reverb on this was powerful, just like it was on the Oliver Anthony song that y'all recorded. That brought me to this guy singing this song, and you excellent work is causing me to subscribe.
Found a couple weeks before father's day and it just hits home. Dad tried to teach me lots of important lessons, but the one's that mattered most I got just from watching him. A guy who wasn't above any job when it came to caring for his family- a college degreed chemist who cheerfully took a job shoveling out stalls on a farm when he was laid off. Later in life when it happened again I watched him learn to lay flooring. Those are the things that stick with you. Thank you for such bringing it to mind again- I raise a glass to fathers like that.
I hope my kids love me as much as he loves his dad. He wrote this song for himself, thats why its one of the most powerful songs Ive ever heard. It has made all my friends cry. WOW man.
My dad has Parkinson’s and dementia and is such a different person now, I mourn for my dad daily. He has always been my hero and hung the moon to say the least. I will forever be his baby girl, as he will always be the man that taught me how to love, work, and throw a punch he taught me life lessons you can’t get from a book somewhere
An old man ain’t always related to you. It’s the man who teaches you how to be better than he was so that you can teach a youngin how to be better than both of you were. So all them hard days of work, and those days of feeling alone all amount to a story you can tell. When my church would do charity runs through the tent cities of bigger places than where I lived, they always said “you ain’t gotta thank me, just pay it forward”. So pay it all forward. The wisdom is worth more than any dollar you could ever spend.
I lost my husband in October 2014, he was the most amazing husband, Dad and Bumpa. I carry precious memories in my heart. I recently lost my Dad February 17th after a brief and unexpected illness. He was 82 years old and was in the process of building a new house for him and my Mom. They were high school sweethearts married 63 years, 5 children, 7 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He was the Patriarch of Our Family and we are heartbroken 💔 😢 I've lost the two most loving and amazing men in my life. 😭
@Ronnock Oh so needed this today! 🩵 Thank you, and yes they were badasses. I miss them everyday, especially the bantering between us, it was hilarious. Now my adult children are Pros and bantering and cutting up. Oh the memories I cherish will always remain in my heart. God Bless you today and everyday for putting a smile on my face 🙏 😊
They gave you the very best they had. And any man full of love for his family would do it all over again anyday. Its so great that you had that kind of love, bless your soul
Blessed to have the old man I had too Wes Shipp! Miss that old man every day! Like you said to make sure we were warm and fed he worked til his fingers bled. 7-3 as a maintenance man at a apartment complex and always doing side jobs in the evening after working all day. A few times I'd find his lunch in the fridge after I'd roll out of the sack and load it up on the fourwheeler and run it to him. It really seemed to make his day that I cared enough to bring it to him. Sometimes when I'd roll in for a visit he'd ask me "hey bud you cut my hair" and of course every time I said "sure old man." God what I'd give to cut his hair for him one more time! Love ya old man and miss you dearly. Hope you and mom are walking the streets of gold hand in hand. Love you both dearly and miss y'all so much it hurts everyday but I gotta keep on. The hardest part though was when I had to tell my kids their grandpa was gone it crushed my soul to see them hurt the way they did. Lots of great memories though because my parents were awesome!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing. Your sincere words touched my heart too, and you knowing where your parents are. We were blessed with good parents bc God knows we weren’t always perfect lol. I’m glad they taught us how to be with them again, now that I am in my sixties. GBU ~
My mother taught us to never hate and to forgive people so I cannot hate my father who was never there I feel sorry for him my mother still loves him this song is for my hero my mom
I miss my Dad everyday. He died 1998. Taught me everything I needed to know, wanted to know. I did the same for my children as well. Some tough love but always love. Hug them while ya got em!
I lost my dad when I was 9 he always took me camping ,hunting and fishing he was the best dad in the world to me I miss him dearly nice song man im a fan💯
i didn't have a good one but i was able at the end (last week) to forgive him without him asking for it. i found him and on hospice i held him and told him i hope that he finds Peace now!!!
What a beautiful song. It took me back in time remembering those same things about my father. He lost his battle to cancer when I was only 19 and he was 49. Thank you for such a great song.
Lost my dad November 28th, 2023. Stumbled on this song this morning. Bet I've listened to it 20 times so far, not just this version but 2 or 3 others I've found. My dad was my best friend, and this song is like it was written about him. Thank you so much Radiowv and Mr. Wes Shipp. Y'all have had me crying and smiling all morning.
Awesome song. Lost my dad almost 2 years ago to cancer, miss him everyday. What an amazing tribute to your old man. Thank you for sharing your talents and thank you to this youtube channel for showcasing these talented individuals. God bless
God in heaven, thank you for raidowv and the talented artists on the channel. Thank you for the blessing of having a Dad like the Dad in this song. He is my hero to this day, every day I had with him was a blessing, I miss him so very much. Lord, I ask that you help other Dads be the hero to their children, help guide Dads down the path of leadership by example for their family. Please help children understand and appreciate their Dad so that precious time does not slip through their fingers. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
This song hits home because my Father is 80yrs old with failing Health I'm blessed to still have him he always worked and always provided up until he was 74yrs old just remember if you still have your Dad every day is a blessing cherish every moment and always make sure they know you love them because that inevitable day will come only God knows when leave him with happy memories and live on in your Heart
Why have we not heard this man, that's the most beautiful voice it's so, I dont even have the word for it, its manly, its soothing, it's that voice you cant wait to hear at night before you lay down to sleep it's that one you cant wait to hear first thing in the morning WOW!!!! I'm looking him up on UA-cam now!!!
In today’s music world, BRAVO!! True music, true subject, true meaning. I lost my Dad two days after Thanksgiving 2021 and I feel this song. Thanks for writing,performing and posting this!! I hope you stay true and go far!
I lost my dad in 2020 to his fight with cancer and I held his hand with my sister while he passed away in my arms and I really needed this song today, it gave me a chance to finally cry and release. Thank you for this Chanel and song❤
My dads an old bird. Hes now in a nursing home. Still fighting against his lack of speech and disability fighting ro be him after stroke. God vless this man and all fathers that stand for strength and perseverance
I once heard Jerry Lee Lewis say that every time you walk in front of that box, it takes a piece out of you. With time, most of us learn just what that means.
An entire generation who didn't have fathers, or fathers who were around, trying to be what they never had for thier kids. Just because we didn't have it doesn't mean we can't be it.
My Dad wasn't a typical Dad. He was a old biker, former member of The Dirty Dozen of Arizona. People judged him negatively by the way he dressed, his tattoos, long hair and by what the news had to say about The Dozen, but to me, he was just my Dad. And I loved him just the way he was. Guess I always will love him. Kids these days expect their parents to be perfect but the truth is, nobody's perfect.
Sweet what was your dad's name ❤ me blues and lowflyer still around Phoenix some of us hold out never gave up our gave in or patched over ✓ 1% let the dice roll and fall where they may 13 for life 2 six's make 12 add 1%. You got the dirty dozen ❤ phoenix AZ. IM CRACKER
I grew up in a time where everyones dad made a living swinging a hammer. Having that we learned a lot. A lot of kids dont have that. Love this song. Thanks
Wow what a tribute to a good dad! I've come to realize that even though my dad didn't seem too great, he actually was because he didn't pass down the abuse that was done to him. He was a broken man but still did enough so I could understand later in life that he desired to do better but was just so broken with no help. It will be much better in Heaven and i look forward to that. ✝️
I love my papa, he wasn't the ideal dad by far. The one thing I really and truly understand about him now is, he loved us in his own way. My old man will always be my daddy
That there is a beautiful song😢 I can't tell you how many times over the years I wish that was my old man I'm 36 years old and he still wants next to nothing to do with me I pray one day soon he will open his eyes 🙏
I would not have known about your youtube channel if not for Oliver Anthony. Amazing talent you have on this page. Makes me want to visit West Virginia!
Been a musician/song writer/performer pretty much my entire life and that has to be one of the best songs I have heard in a very long time - so much raw emotion, truth, let the story be told...I have no words to describe how this song made me feel....absolutely amazing work!!!
Wow. very well written and performed. I have tears thinking about my Dad. He's been gone for over 30 years now. I wrote a song for him and am thankful he got to hear it before he passed. Much love and respect to you!
My son just sent me this song didn't know my daddy But I gotta So n that has his own kids he loves them and his kids love him This song had me in tears And I love my son for it And I thank Him for it I love my green Eye monster
You made me weep for my father who passed 16 years ago. He was like yours, a great man to my eyes and someone who loved me deeply. Thank you for expressing my feelings in a way that I can't.
I didn't think my dad liked me till I was in my mid 20's. I realized I was raising me to survive in a cruel world.i don't agree with all that was said and done. I do believe everything he said and did was out of love and my best interest in mind. He was just using the tools he had. As a father no in my 50's. I know I haven't done it all right,but I did the best I could with what I had,still doing it and trying to be better.
Brother I really needed to hear this song. A year ago next month I lost my dad to Alzheimer's and dementia. So many things I never got to say but playing this song tonight I feel it said it all for me and I believe he heard it too. Thank you for bringing me closer to my dad 🙏
The only thing I wanted to be in my life is a daddy Mine was never around Hope my sons and wife think this about me I’ve tried so hard I got 4 beautiful kids Same wife 22, 18, 16 , and yes 5 Hope my kids feel the same way Love the song
My man… I’m the least emotional person you’ve probably ever met. I lost my dad in 07 at 11 years old. This song brought me to tears. I’m not even sure how I got here.. but thank you.
Lost my dad a few years ago , he was my strength now I know if I fall ain't no one there to lift me up, thanks for this amazing song , cause it reminded me of him , he toiled hard for us , now I toil for my family and wait for the day I will meet my dad again.
Beautiful song 🎵 brother!!! 1st note had me hooked! My dad said goodbye to us when I was 3. My brothers were 5, 1, and the youngest a newborn... He was an alcoholic, so maybe it was for the best. My mother, despite her own issues and having her world turned upside down, raised us with nothing but love. She has overcome so much, I am proud to be her son ❤ you mom!
My uncle shot and killed my granddad for good reasons and I wish I could relate to the lyrics of this song to my dad . He was the opposite of these words but he and his brothers were scared from there own father. I love this song and happily think about the good times I had with him while he was here. Love you dad☘️🇮🇪❤️
My old man taught me that your only as good as your word. Look someone in the eyes and shake hands on a deal, and that is the only contract needed. I'm 70 now and hope that is still a thing. Thanks for this song.
Still means more to me than any piece of paper. So it’s still an important thing to those with loyalty. Have a blessed weekend. ~
That's exactly the way my old man was, and how I've operated all along mainly because of that upbringing. I'm the same age and have unfortunately realized that far too many ppl don't possess that level of honor, or in considering their word as 'golden', and it's now becoming a lost honor for far too many.

I'm 43, I'm deep in the Ozarks & those handshake contracts work on almost everything yet, except maybe housing contracts!
I'm 50 now and my old man is gone but as you said that's how he raised me . God bless
I hurt, I remember letting my father down, disowned me, I thank God every day that he lived to see me turn my life around, build my own home, marry, have one daughter, and get my record expunged, sworn in as a deputy sheriff. Thank you God.
"I wish i could grow up all over again with my old man" that broke me....5yrs ago today 4/7/19 i lost my old man to cancer he was 61yrs young and i was 25yrs old with my first born son who was his first grandchild that he was excited for to take fishin n huntin and work on cars with, plans cut short and now i have my 2nd and final kid that line broke me bc id love to go back and cherish every moment all over again😔. Love and miss ya dad 82nd all the way!

You ain't wrong my friend, I'm goin down the pipeline and I tell you what it's not only what we needed but it's also meant to be
Amazing artists and music!! Their Spotify is awesome too!
You mean a coal mine this is west Virginia
hehe ;D@@infinitesquire
AMEN, I haven't listen to a bad one yet!!!!
My dad wasn't the greatest. But, i hope one day my kids will listen to this and think of me. To the dads out there live your life, so this song will bring tears of joy to your children when they are old enough to really understand. Thank you for this song, and god bless.
I lost my Daddy when I was young, but he is everything that I am today

same here.
my dad died last year.
I hope my kids love me as much as he loves his dad. He wrote this song for himself, thats why its one of the most powerful songs Ive ever heard. It has made all my friends cry. WOW man.
Realest comment ever
More than a little tears. Thanks Wes. I'm 73 and this still resonates. Thanks.
Any man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a Daddy.
My dad has Parkinson’s and dementia and is such a different person now, I mourn for my dad daily. He has always been my hero and hung the moon to say the least. I will forever be his baby girl, as he will always be the man that taught me how to love, work, and throw a punch he taught me life lessons you can’t get from a book somewhere
I'm not ashamed to admit this song had me balling. I lost my stepdad back in 2010. He may not have been biologically my father, but he was my dad. 😢😊
💔
Just cried it out with my dad. Worth the moment...
My man, my step dad was my hero. I wish to be half the man he was. I felt your comment! Here's to us carrying that torch the great ones led us with!
An old man ain’t always related to you. It’s the man who teaches you how to be better than he was so that you can teach a youngin how to be better than both of you were. So all them hard days of work, and those days of feeling alone all amount to a story you can tell.

Lost mine on Valentine's Day this year. I feel you
So true,I lost my dad two years ago.I never went without.I miss him. Like someone said if you have a dad or had a dad like this cherish it.
If you had a loving and hard-working father, consider yourself BLESSED.
I miss my Dad.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us.
I am a Widow since 2014 and just recently lost my Dad 😢 I cherish the time I had with them. In my Prayers 🙏

Those fellas sound like real badasses, especially that dad of yours. God bless!
@Ronnock Oh so needed this today! 🩵 Thank you, and yes they were badasses. I miss them everyday, especially the bantering between us, it was hilarious. Now my adult children are Pros and bantering and cutting up. Oh the memories I cherish will always remain in my heart.

@grufscruf Awww they sure did. I miss them everyday and cherish every moment that God gave me with them. 🩵💙
oh how lucky and blessed you were
Blessed to have the old man I had too Wes Shipp! Miss that old man every day! Like you said to make sure we were warm and fed he worked til his fingers bled. 7-3 as a maintenance man at a apartment complex and always doing side jobs in the evening after working all day.

Thank you radiowv for saving history and allowing these wonderful people to bring it back!
For all of you guys that are lucky enough to have a father in your life,be happy because some of us have never had the privilege.
I honestly don't know how anyone could sing this song without crying bc I can't even listen to it without crying
Right there with ya brother. Looks like he did almost lose it about 3:10
Same.
I miss my Dad everyday. He died 1998. Taught me everything I needed to know, wanted to know. I did the same for my children as well. Some tough love but always love. Hug them while ya got em!

What a beautiful song. It took me back in time remembering those same things about my father. He lost his battle to cancer when I was only 19 and he was 49. Thank you for such a great song.
Great song. Makes me think of my old man. He’s been gone 18 years, but not a day goes by that I don’t hope I’m making him proud.
my old man taught me that all u have in this life is ur good name, so dnt screw it up....wish i had listened
Lost my dad November 28th, 2023. Stumbled on this song this morning. Bet I've listened to it 20 times so far, not just this version but 2 or 3 others I've found. My dad was my best friend, and this song is like it was written about him. Thank you so much Radiowv and Mr. Wes Shipp. Y'all have had me crying and smiling all morning.
Awesome song. Lost my dad almost 2 years ago to cancer, miss him everyday. What an amazing tribute to your old man.
Thank you for sharing your talents and thank you to this youtube channel for showcasing these talented individuals.
God bless
I haven't cried like that in a long time. My daddy died when I was 18 (I'm 35) and I miss him so much.
God in heaven, thank you for raidowv and the talented artists on the channel. Thank you for the blessing of having a Dad like the Dad in this song.

In today’s music world, BRAVO!! True music, true subject, true meaning. I lost my Dad two days after Thanksgiving 2021 and I feel this song. Thanks for writing,performing and posting this!! I hope you stay true and go far!
My daddy was just like the man in the song I miss him so much this young man has a great future in country music ahead of him
I lost my dad in 2020 to his fight with cancer and I held his hand with my sister while he passed away in my arms and I really needed this song today, it gave me a chance to finally cry and release. Thank you for this Chanel and song❤
This song was definitely NOT about my dad. But I am trying my darndest to be this song for my 2 boys. Thank you for this incredible song.
My step dad was everything I wanted to be to my kids. With your awesome attitude, I am sure your 2 boys are blessed beyond belief. Keep it up!
Same bro. With that mindset you won't repeat the mistakes and you'll be a great father yourself.
My dads an old bird. Hes now in a nursing home. Still fighting against his lack of speech and disability fighting ro be him after stroke. God vless this man and all fathers that stand for strength and perseverance
I’m old … but I gotta say…
My old man died in 1971 …..
You never get over it…
I once heard Jerry Lee Lewis say that every time you walk in front of that box, it takes a piece out of you. With time, most of us learn just what that means.
Thank you Wes awesome song & voice! God Bless you❤This absolutely sounds my Dad.
Me an my old man are the best of friends and I couldn't think of a better song to play for him when he passes
All we have in this crazy world is our word and once its gone you don't have much good left to give to this world!
Lost my pops to cancer few years ago and it broke my heart I really do miss my old man!
An entire generation who didn't have fathers, or fathers who were around, trying to be what they never had for thier kids. Just because we didn't have it doesn't mean we can't be it.
My Dad wasn't a typical Dad. He was a old biker, former member of The Dirty Dozen of Arizona. People judged him negatively by the way he dressed, his tattoos, long hair and by what the news had to say about The Dozen, but to me, he was just my Dad. And I loved him just the way he was. Guess I always will love him. Kids these days expect their parents to be perfect but the truth is, nobody's perfect.
Sweet what was your dad's name ❤ me blues and lowflyer still around Phoenix some of us hold out never gave up our gave in or patched over ✓ 1% let the dice roll and fall where they may 13 for life 2 six's make 12 add 1%. You got the dirty dozen ❤ phoenix AZ. IM CRACKER
4th time here , i love this song, lost my dad,when i was 12 years i,m 70 today , keep em comin man.
I grew up in a time where everyones dad made a living swinging a hammer. Having that we learned a lot. A lot of kids dont have that. Love this song. Thanks
Dammit Man! I didn’t plan on tearin’ up at the workbench, but here we are. Thank you for sharing!
Give the guys at Radio West Virginia a raise!! Awesome song and sound!!!
This young man has a gift for songwriting. Love this song, and I'm certain my father would like it too. RIP, Dad.
Wow what a tribute to a good dad! I've come to realize that even though my dad didn't seem too great, he actually was because he didn't pass down the abuse that was done to him. He was a broken man but still did enough so I could understand later in life that he desired to do better but was just so broken with no help. It will be much better in Heaven and i look forward to that. ✝️
I just heard this song and love it I lost my dad two days before Christmas this song hit me hard love the heart and soul great job brother
I love my papa, he wasn't the ideal dad by far. The one thing I really and truly understand about him now is, he loved us in his own way. My old man will always be my daddy
Not many songs bring a tear to my eye, this one did. Best wishes from Wales
That there is a beautiful song😢 I can't tell you how many times over the years I wish that was my old man I'm 36 years old and he still wants next to nothing to do with me I pray one day soon he will open his eyes 🙏
I would not have known about your youtube channel if not for Oliver Anthony.
Amazing talent you have on this page.
Makes me want to visit West Virginia!
Been a musician/song writer/performer pretty much my entire life and that has to be one of the best songs I have heard in a very long time - so much raw emotion, truth, let the story be told...I have no words to describe how this song made me feel....absolutely amazing work!!!
Wow. very well written and performed. I have tears thinking about my Dad. He's been gone for over 30 years now. I wrote a song for him and am thankful he got to hear it before he passed. Much love and respect to you!
what a great new singer, we need ya man,keep em comin.
Everytime I hear this song I start balling my eyes out bc it reminds me of my dad!! 😢 Such a beautiful song!!!❤
This is one of the BEST songs I've ever heard. Great songs move you and this one did. Thanks Sir!
My son just sent me this song didn't know my daddy But I gotta So n that has his own kids he loves them and his kids love him This song had me in tears And I love my son for it And I thank Him for it I love my green Eye monster
The flood gates opened up😭.
It is a beautiful song of Memories with your dad.❤
God bless, anyone with a good dad can’t have a dry eye at the last verse…🙏 life is short, so enjoy the time we have with loved ones
I hope my son's feel this way about me when I'm gone. Every father should strive to achieve what this man's father has.
Lost "my old man" 38 years ago, seems like yesterday. Miss him every second. Thx for your song.
my Son just sent this to me and my eyes are pissin but my thumping gizzard is Swole Thank You i Really Need it right now
You made me weep for my father who passed 16 years ago. He was like yours, a great man to my eyes and someone who loved me deeply. Thank you for expressing my feelings in a way that I can't.
I wish i could turn back time and grow up all over again❤❤
I didn't think my dad liked me till I was in my mid 20's. I realized I was raising me to survive in a cruel world.i don't agree with all that was said and done. I do believe everything he said and did was out of love and my best interest in mind. He was just using the tools he had. As a father no in my 50's. I know I haven't done it all right,but I did the best I could with what I had,still doing it and trying to be better.
Damn! Now that's how you write a song, Thank you brother.
Wes Shipp! This guy is an amazing talent and I’m here for it!
Good grief...what a great storyteller😲🔥👍👍👍
Thats a damn good one ol boy is fighting back the tears great song
Fatherhood. One of the greatest gifts a man can receive.
Brother I really needed to hear this song. A year ago next month I lost my dad to Alzheimer's and dementia. So many things I never got to say but playing this song tonight I feel it said it all for me and I believe he heard it too. Thank you for bringing me closer to my dad 🙏
I lost my Daddy from Alzheimer also. 😢
This guy is a throwback story teller. Hes got it! I like his guitar picking too.
The only thing I wanted to be in my life is a daddy
Mine was never around
Hope my sons and wife think this about me
I’ve tried so hard
I got 4 beautiful kids
Same wife
22, 18, 16 , and yes 5
Hope my kids feel the same way
Love the song
My man… I’m the least emotional person you’ve probably ever met. I lost my dad in 07 at 11 years old. This song brought me to tears. I’m not even sure how I got here.. but thank you.
Lost my dad a few years ago , he was my strength now I know if I fall ain't no one there to lift me up, thanks for this amazing song , cause it reminded me of him , he toiled hard for us , now I toil for my family and wait for the day I will meet my dad again.
AMEN ONE LOVE ONE GOD AMEN ❤❤❤❤GOD LIVES WITHIN US ❤❤❤❤
This song hits home...
I lost my pops..and he was a good man bought me my first good guitar
This song needs to be outted..
This is a damn good song..
My dad has been moved on for a while now. You don't think about it less as you age, you just think about it differently.
This was uploaded on my old mans birthday. My old man means the world to me, same as many do. He is my hero!
I said it before and I will say it again. Beautiful song
Lost my Dad to cancer just over 3 years ago. What a great song. Thank you.
Beautiful song 🎵 brother!!!
1st note had me hooked!
My dad said goodbye to us when I was 3. My brothers were 5, 1, and the youngest a newborn...
He was an alcoholic, so maybe it was for the best.
My mother, despite her own issues and having her world turned upside down, raised us with nothing but love.
She has overcome so much, I am proud to be her son ❤ you mom!
Lost my dad February 13, 2019 and miss him every day
Glorious original lament. I can see his father vividly from his description, hard stock.
Damn brother. Lost my old man a year ago and this is him to a Tee. Thanks for this man. I sure miss my incredible old man.
🌴 When a song makes you realize that your old man was a kick azz country guy and now your 72
I miss you dad. I pray you're safe workin ona road. Still could use you back home. Love you
Awesome Song and presentation Brother 👍 makes me miss My Old Man❤️🇺🇸
Damnit 😥 I wasn't READY for that!!! GREAT song!
My uncle shot and killed my granddad for good reasons and I wish I could relate to the lyrics of this song to my dad . He was the opposite of these words but he and his brothers were scared from there own father. I love this song and happily think about the good times I had with him while he was here. Love you dad☘️🇮🇪❤️
This song is really good. I could see the raw emotion in your face the whole time. Well done sir mad respect
