#ZacBrownBand #Highway20Ride
Just dropped my 16 year old boy off. Been making this 150 mile round trip every other weekend since he was 2. He will be 17 this summer and getting his license in a few weeks. It’s been one hell of ride buddy, worth every mile. Love You Son ❤️
he is truly blessed!
You should feel really proud! I’ve worked with families for 20+ years.
There SO MANY Dad’s out there that don’t care 😥
@@annesfaves9100 Thank You I appreciate the kind words. I wish every dad would step up and be in their child’s life in some meaningful way.
Salute brother. I did it for years and it hurt so bad leaving every. Single. Time. He’ll always remember the songs and conversations and will soon understand many dads didn’t bother but you did.
@@romanmoralesqb1 Salute to your too brother. Godspeed on your journey ❤️
I remember being a little kid, and liking this song but not really understanding the message. Now I'm 15, and I realize that this song is the very definition of me and my Dad's relationship. I was 2 years old when my parents separated, and I grew up being with my Dad on Saturdays supervised by my grandparents. My mom raised me, and tried to make me hate him, but now I realize the real man he is, and that none of what she said is true. I just really want to thank my dad for sticking around because he could've easily exited my life forever, but no, he decided to be a dad and raise his son the best he could with the limitations he was given. I just really want to thank my dad for making that "highway 20 ride" every Saturday when I was I kid to be with me.
I’m almost 32 an same. On this exact highway same story in a lot of regards with my mother and all.
you brought tears to my eye, kid!! you came to the right conclusion!! proud of you.
Listen to the song "Between a mother and a daughter" by Cheryl Wright. I believe that is the title. U can replace the words with Between a mother and a son. I experienced a similar situation.
What amazing perspective you have...you're growing up to be an incredible young man. I'm 47, and l am still recovering from the crap my mom tried to pull in regards to my Dad. And my Dad sounds like yours...for all the crap he was forced to deal with, he could have exited mine and my sister's life, but he chose to be a Dad, and I'm forever grateful. I thank your Dad, and my Dad, and all the Dads that persevered, for their children.
Bless you young man
For fifteen years I drove hwy 20 ride to see my Son. But it was interstate 95 from North Carolina to Florida. Will always love my SON, even if he doesn't want me in his life! Can't change what he was told, but I try to deal with it everyday! 365 miles one way 4 time a years! Only to cry on my way home
Don't give up because one day he will understand! Trust me, I waited a long time but it happened and how glorious it was and has been! Keep Praying!
I'm so sorry for what's happening with you and your son. Keep trying don't ever give up. Your son will see that you love him so much that you never stopped trying. He will come around it will just take time. My prayers are with you don't ever give up.
My father would drive that distance for me. I love my father and I always didn't. I am sure one day your son will remember your dedication and sacrifice and wish for his father to be manifest before him to mentor him during times of trouble. My only solace is that I will take care of pops who happens to be next door..
i pray for healing for u both
❤️
I'm so sorry .I have a daughter that I've not seen in a long long time. I tried but she said no. I do know how that breaks you heart. Just keep trying cause I know I'm never giving up.❤❤
Just be there Dads, always do your best. Life will work out the rest and the kiddos will find out everything in the end. Just try your hardest and show up.
Be prepared and present!they come before any next lover!or the ex!
This song brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it. I fought for custody of my son when he was 3. I finally won when he was 14. He's now going off to college on a full academic scholarship. I couldn't be prouder of how he's turned out.
Wow. Awesome
Right there brother with you, brings me to my knees every time. My son is 29 and I haven't seen him since he was three but we have this song in common and he knows that I love him..
You fought for 11 years. What a fantastic father you are.
they are worth fighting for!!! congrats!!
This came out after I did the same thing. Lost a house and truck because a lawyer was more important. 15 years later (he's a senior in highschool) i still have drive.
I’m here in Augusta Georgia about three minutes away from I-20 and I have three boys and we’ve lived this song.
Also from Augusta. Hephzibah ... Now in Myrtle beach ... I also live this song. God be with you brother.
Well hello neighbor!
God bless. Daddy!!💜😘🇺🇸
I love this song .. It’s a part of my life...
I’ve always wondered if it’s a real highway. Love this song
This song hits so hard bc I get to thinking about my dad and how I’m about to be 16 and he died when I was 3 years old and it just makes me think of how proud he would be of me😢
He’s watching over you Shane… keep doing what you’re doing and keep your dads love in your soul
Sweet boy💞 Your daddy IS so proud of you! I’m a momma that is so proud of you and your heart for posting this. You WILL see him again and it will be for eternity. Keep making your daddy proud ❤️
@@southloopsoxfan
Beautiful message that you sent to Shane. Thank you for taking the time to show that you understand and care💞
He is proud of you every day! He's watching over you so talk to him because he's listening. Blessings to you! God Bless!!!!!
This song came out amidst my divorce. I had just been stationed in Georgia. I drove up 20 twice a month to see my son. Fast forward 11 years. I have custody of my son and a great relationship with his mother. But if this song comes on the radio or across my Playlist, I'll cry like a baby. One of the realist songs ever written.
he is blessed
I break down every time I hear it...
Amen
Greatest song written
I am a daddy of a beautiful 8 year old girl.. this song always make me tear up because I have to travel on highway 20 in my town for 45 minutes to get my daughter .. I always look forward to the trip as I know it is to get her.. I love her so much and we are very close..
+Trevor Morgan
Don't think she doesn't know your effort. She does.
+Trevor Morgan Good for you. You sound like a very loving father. :)
keiannasex today love
i see my dad once a month i hope you get to see your daughter more than that because we love seeing your dad, i dont like my mom i wish i could just stay with my dad
Makes all loving Dads that get their kids one day a week and every other weekend cry like a sissy and hurt pretty bad. Reality in a song is rare. I'm just glad his talent is so great he can express how I feel and I can steal his sense of self expression for my own.
I stood and wept at Gillette Stadium years ago when you folks played this song. So powerful. I grew up living the words to this song. God bless the parents that did their best.
This song has always reminded me of my little girl. For most of her childhood, I lived about four hours drive away from her. There were countless hours driving to see her, and always that sinking feeling when I headed back home. She is 28 now, and just got married. She chose this song for the father/ daughter dance and I couldn't stop the flood works when it came on. Such a relatable song for those of us with separated families and distance to deal with.
That song has more meaning to me than any other song ever written. I made that "highway 20 ride" for nearly 15 years and it was worth every second of it
Good man!
Trust me, your babies won’t forget it. My daddy did the same and never missed a visit. I’m closer to him now as an adult knowing his heartache was huge every time he had to drop me and my brother off and turn around to head back.
I think of my dad every time i hear this song, my mom and dad broke up when i was about 2 years old, I'm now 16. We live 4 hours away and i usually only get to see him one a month for about 48 hours. But even through the distance between us i still feel like he's one of the closest people to me. I aspire to be like him everyday of my life and miss him everyday. I just want to say thank you to all of the Single Dads who make an effort to be with kids. It means more than you can believe.
Hey brother I'm in the exact same boat that you are in. If you need anything just give me a holler.
That means a lot man, thank you.
No problem man.
You'll see your dad more than I'll see mine. I now live 17h from him. I have no idea when I'll see him next, my parents broke up when I was 4, my dad and I have a horrid relationship, he's not close to me at all.
Im sorry to hear that man. I wish the best for you bro, stay strong.
Support the Father's Rights Movement
They turned into Family Rights. I used to follow Father's Rights myself. Their best contributors had come to pass. Unless whom you are speaking of is all about Dads, I'll look into them.
As a woman I agree 100 percent.
The lines "And part of you might hate me but son please don't mistake me as the man that didn't care at all" kill me every time I hear it.
I lived this very song for around 18 years. And any man tells you that it ain't hard. Then he is a damn liar. It even breaks my heart to relive it.
To all the parents, be male or female, that have had to take this ride - my heart goes out to you. I did it for years, my son did it for years. It's heartbreaking. Fair winds and following seas to all of you. Hope you get your heart's desire with you soon.
rooney can thank you!
rooney can amen brother
Your words are the truth, for the kids and parents my heart goes out as well.
Its ok though. Ive come to that conclusion sometimes your left no choice. Moral of the story be the best parent you can be!!
Thank you. It was truly the hardest years of my life. I thank God they are grown now and come see me and there is no more separation between parents. ❤️
This part always brings tears in my eyes:
So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride
Thank you Zac and the Band for an amazing song!
hey brother david,
im right with you there. altho, my eyes’re leakin when i hear th first few notes. i was makin that drive, for years.
PS
the lyric is,
‘it was *the* pleasure of my life.’
and, please believe me when i say that for those years,
it truly is the only pleasure there is
I rode hwy 20 in western new york for 18 years to be with my girls, finally got them with me and I cry every time I hear this song. I fought in court for ten years. They are my light in a world of darkness .
❤ awesome
This song tears my heart out. I was the daughter that drove and flew 100’s of miles to be with my sweet daddy❤️ He passed away 5 years ago on the 4th of July sitting in his easy chair watching old western movies that he loved😘 He was a veteran of the Korean War. I was blessed with such an incredible father. I miss you daddy. Love you pop🥰
Two happy homes are better than one miserable one
Richard Garcia really good way putting that
Richard Garcia AMEN BROTHER!
Richard Garcia AMEN
think about my son hearing this song. miss him. his mom and i divorced and thru her poisoning his mind againt me, we fell out of touch. he visited me occassionally but i knew his heart wasnt there. i was a and still am a truck driver and wouldnt reccomend that life to any one.
Mark Boehm it depends you know some get to go home every week end try snieder
my 1 1\2 year old daughter lives with her mother in Virginia, im stationed in California and as i lay in bed in japan tonight, this song hits deep. see you in a couple months baby girl, daddy loves you.
Thanks for your service. Hang in there
Mike Chapman hope you’re at least stateside now and see your babe girl more often
Thank you for your service sir
Thank you for your service much respect from north georgia 🇱🇷
Blessings for you and your family
I drove to Glens Falls NY to try and get my oldest daughter...3 years later I drove down to Georgia to get my other daughter... I have my son and my daughter from Georgia... Life is better when u have your kids with u
This song always hit my heart hard. I knew in the back of my mind and deep in my heart that one day it would hold a lot more significance. Today I live these lyrics. Me and millions of other men.
We are not “dead beats” we are not your “baby daddy” we are human beings with feelings just like you.
I hope more women choose to love their children more than they hate their ex.
appreciate your words sir, well spoken
❤
I dedicate this song to my 3 wonderful children Krimsen, Zayden, & Nicholaì. The best lines in this song are where he says, "I hope that one day, you see it through my eyes that there was no other way to work it out, And "Please don't mistake me for a man that didn't care at all." I fought the judicial system with no success and I hurt everyday I can't hug you or simply see your face when I say I Love you. Nothing will heal the pain for us, but I hope you never turn your back to me. I don't know how long highway 20 is but I feel every inch of the 654 miles that separates us. Always remember Daddy loves you all.
Oh and highway 20 goes from Columbia SC to Pecos Tx that about almost 2000 miles
Amen brother.
I have two weeks until my custody is settled. I live every second of my life for those two babies. I work my ass off, I pray for the right outcome. I feel your pain brother. Every two weeks I cry to this song when I get home.
I count the days (12) and miles (140) back home to you...
Daddy loves you Carly and Jake. My whole world, begins and ends with you.
Hart Barnhill I will pray for the outcome to be in your favor! There is a population of fathers that feel our pain and I pray for all of them. We all share the pain as well as our children and were trying to change it in our courts. I usually listen to this song every other day and it hits me every time... If you get time check out Single Dads/Fighting Fathers on Facebook, it has helped me weather the storm and sleepless nights.
Godspeed My Friend
Henry Underwood Thank you for your kind words, I will indeed fight until I have no breath in my body for my kids. I do know in time to come they will know how hard it was and how much I love them. It does get tough and I'm erasing those miles and altering my career out of the Air Force to be a Guardsman and finish my degree with 50/50. There isn't a thing on this earth that could keep me away from my children. Thank you again for taking time to help make a strangers day. Take care.
I've been making this drive for 7 years. It's a 5-6 hour round trip for me. It's difficult, but it's worth it. My kids are worth it. Don't ever let what's difficult discourage you from doing what's right and what's best. Great song.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads still fighting the fight especially during this pandemic. Just always remember it’s for them we struggle through every day and make sure we’re there for every second we can be.
My Dad karaoke'd this for me on my 21st birthday party, (which he put together and surprised me with himself), and this song is a constant reminder of his love and support for me. Cannot and refuse to listen to it without a tear and a smile. Thanks ZBB, and thanks pops.
This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it.
Me too :'(
Thank God i'm not the only one LOL
Me to cuz I had to get rid of my dog
Every single time my ride was hwy 75 to I-4 2 hours each way every other weekend .....RIP dad Anthony and I miss you so much..
Raveena Singh fr tho.
My dad just told me to listen to this song... i broke down in tears. this was at the same time the most difficult song to listen to but also the most relieving. Mr. Brown, Thank you very much.
Sean Murray I almost cry listening to it
My dad said the same
Same dude
you can only hope that your child one day believes the truth not the lies told by someone, very great song.
I think even us kids who had Dads with 9-5 jobs knew that feeling of a highway 20 ride. My Dad always got home around 6pm everyday. I was 1 of 3 girls and I'm not sure who was more excited opening the door at 6pm. Us girls or the Beloved Dad who walked through the front door. My Dad died much too young and I still remember that feeling of excitement when 6pm would come. Those days are now over 45 years ago. Damn how I miss that Sweet Soul, I had the privilege to call Dad ❤💝❤💝
✨Thanks for complimenting on my page, I never knew our song still touches the heart of many, i hope you never stop listening to my music?
Hello patty how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
It was highway 13 for me...this song still makes me tear up...my kids are grown now, they have no idea how much it tore me up taking them back
I'm an alcoholic. This kills me I every shape and form. I Love my kids. I'm broken
How are things? I’ll pray for you, may God hold you in His Arms
Hang in there Matt
@priscillaann4106 I read your comment..You're a beautiful person !
I live an hour away from my kid. But this song still means so much to me. His mother left me when he was three months old. I always make sure I have him when it is my weekend with him. Many times after I drop him off with his mother I play this song on the ride home. It sure speaks for me on these rides back home. My heart breaks when I drop him back off, and the bright spot of my life is always picking him up. He is almost 6 now.
my ex moved my 2 year old son to Florida. I only see him 6 weeks a year. He now is 18. This song always makes me cry. I LOVE AN MISS U MY SON.
When the live version is so good it becomes the official music video
If you have ever heard/seen it live, it is beyond amazing!
I know that highway 20 ride.. through Gerogia and South Carolina... both ways.
Vendable Bow Me, too. Many hours of my life spent making that drive.
I'm from the UK and one day I want to travel the United States. I'll put this on my to do list.
Vendable Bow I've taken the same highway ride
Steven Andrews Same.
i used to drive a truck and the first time i heard this song, i could see the hwy in my mind, i live in the north ga mtns, and this song came to life for me
One day I woke up and turned on the TV. The night before I was changing channels before I fell asleep, I turned the television on it was on cmt, the song Chicken Fried was playing, I listened without changing the channel, I went out and bought his first album " The Revolution" Now I listen to country music, its soothing, it makes me feel at peace, I'm from the hood. I appreciate this so much!!!
Me too! I LOVE IT!!
Bro I heard this song and little Johnny from tim Mcgraw and I can't help it I cry like a baby.
Revolution?
I was a single mom of two freshly divorced truck driver and this song always had a special place in my heart i shared it with my kids and it helped rxplain alittle to them. Thank you
Happy Father's Day to all the good dads out there who's ex wives/girlfriends keep them away from their own children. It's a real shame in 2016 that women get half a man's assets and 100% of his kids just because they're women. Any dad out there struggling, I hope you stay positive and things work out. Never, ever give up.
I go through this every month or so when I drive to ga from Florida to pick up my 2 daughters
My ex girlfriend moved my kids to Maine. Thats 25 hours away from me. Trust me that there's not enough alcohol in the world to remove that pain when you don't get to see or even speak to them.
David B. Jr. I know how it go's. my son it an hour from his kids. and he can't even see or talk to them. I can see that it kills him every day that go's by. the only thing he gets is pics when I get to see them.
I no how it fill my son live in Somerset PA and I lived in Pittsburg pa
Amen
To ALL the dads making this drive: Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote from the son's perspective.
It matters more than you know!
I standby every other Friday
While staring at this highway
Can’t wait until you appear in my sight
Been waitin on this weekend
Dad, I can't wait to go fishin
Told all my friends about it during school
As you drive
and the miles go flying by
I stare and smile, as I slowly come alive
Every time I get the chance to sit up in the front with you
And I love the days and the miles spent next to you
On this Highway 20 ride
Now dad you may not realize, but I can see with these eyes
that you and mom don't really get along
You know dad I don't blame you, from where I sit it takes two
I'm just glad you even care at all
As you drive
and the miles go flying by
I stare and smile, as I slowly come alive
Every time I get the chance to sit up in the front with you
And I love the days and the miles spent next to you
On this Highway 20 ride
So now I drive
Man, those years went flying by
And I still smile
Every time you cross my mind
Those were the moments of my life
That I'll cherish every time
Yeah when I think
Of the time spent next to you
on that Highway 20 ride
Zach Cahall Oh that’s beautiful.
Wow, beautiful. Hopeful. Redemptive. It would be Life itself if the other Zac and his band would pick up these lyrics and sing them to put a little light in the souls of the fathers who long to hear such words sung back to them. May God be so gracious.
That was absolutely beautiful. Don't ever give up on song writing
Kitty Perry, thank you so much for the encouragement. I’m glad you enjoyed the reply lyrics.
BS17, thank you so much!
My Son loved this rip I love you
All your music reminds me of the good ol days. Great music. Thanks
I'm 25years old and I seen and been threw a lot..all the drugs the alcoholics and my brothers going to prison and death and I told myself one day I'll live a normal life and I am. Me and my little sister are safe and live well. I thank god everyday for his blessing.🌼
Javier Avila I am from the projects and when I was a kid I was almost involved with many different gangs, my coach took me and many other good football players in and treated us like family, he kept us off the streets and one of my friends who went to high schools with me was shot and put in the hospital because of it, my coach died three years after graduation and the entire football team came to the funeral, everyone cried, that man was like a father figure to me and I hope he rests in peace, I loved you sir, I'll see you one day up with god , I miss you coach Simpson
Evan Craig God must of been watching over us but I'm sad for your lost and I hope your doing well. God bless you Evan, and by the way my name is Rachel, Javier is my grandpa's name 🌸
Javier Avila he must've, I've already gotten scholarship offers to a few college football teams and I know that coach Simpson made sure that god was watching over me, I never would've made it to where I am today without the two of them, and I hope god favors you, you have a great heart, good luck and I hope you have a good life, long and happy, full of love, laughs, and tears
Evan Craig wow congratulations Evan I'm happy for you. We're both being watch over up above I wish you all the success and peace love and happiness you deserve🏈
Every time I hear this song, I text my dad. He’s been thru so much. Love that man to death
My dad over Mt. Hood Tigard to Prineville back to Tigard Oregon, at the time I hated it sometimes lost my dad in March of this year funeral was on my birthday the 19th of March I turned 43 god how I would take any of those trips with him right now ..
I am proud of you, man. I drove 180 miles each way every other Friday, and again on Sunday, about 20 years ago. It was worth every mile! My kids are grown now, and I am so proud of them.
this song makes me cry every time
ppl living on 39th fig
Talibah Moses wprds toiway20
Every. Single. Time... Me too
As you age the disappointments of youth become the goals of adulthood...sometimes you just have to let stupid shit go...and at 40 I kinda get it now
S.G.I.. lives new life
1975 /2021
good lord God looks after me im pary God going
This song came on the radio every time I was fishing with my dad when I was kid in the 80s. I'm 40 now and he passed at 62 from an anyeresum. A year and a half ago. I listen to this song every day to keep him with me
This song brings back so meany memories of when 3- grandchildren that had to do this the song is beautiful and true.
First time I heard this was driving home from Florida with my family. Late at night just riding to this. Country is the best music when you just want to think. Not about anything life changing, just think and be at peace.
Thomas stockford , so so so true
well said!!!
this is my neighbor's favorite song wheather they like it or not!
Lmao
I dont know y this made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
Daniel fountlslxlxlclxllllllllo9un ksksoxoooooxoooxox
that's some funny shit.
Made me laugh 😂
One of the greatest songs in history!!! Every time I try to sing it, I think of not being in my daughter's life every single day and I cry.
This is one of many songs me and my dad share my parents split up when I turned 17 and this song is so true for me and him bc he is a trucker and I don’t see a lot I love him so much he calls me every day same time every time he called me his little buckaroo when I was a kid
Just saw zac Brown in concert Sunday and I looked over to see my dad crying and then I started crying this song means a lot because my parents got divorced when I was 10 ❤️
damn man, that is hard hitting. what a good parent you got there
I'm absolutely in tears right now. I miss my son so much. I hope one day Joel understands that his mother and I just couldn't make it work.
A beautiful, moving song about the pain of separation from those who we love the most. Truly “get it” if you have been married to a trucker who drove long distance & how hard that separation was for him being out alone on the road for weeks at a time away from his wife, family & friends & all that was familiar… this story is about the pain of divorce but if you take it one step further, it is about loving someone & hurting deeply inside because you cannot be with them & have to keep on driving all alone in that truck just to make a living. Why it meant so very much to me.
Worked in machine shops in Georgia for a few years while my son lived in New York with his mother. I couldn't afford two round trip tickets, so I used to drive back and forth to NY from GA every 3 months so I could spend a week or two with him. This song hits me on one too many levels. Damn you ZBB!
This song is literally about my life
Brent Sorry, man.
Same
Hope things have gotten better for you.
DELTA BASSIN Amen I’m living this instead of Highway 20 my dad comes on Highway 40 to get me
Mine too brother
I swear this and one other song makes me cry. Mostly b/c i think about how my dad left me behind without so much as a word. Haven't heard from him in 24 years. My mom died when I was baby so my grandma raised me dad took off.
If your grandma that raised you loved you then that was a blessing. My parents should have gotten a divorce and never reproduced so it goes both ways. Often wonder who got that ideal childhood.I do not hate my parents by any means but can't help but question all the unnecessary damage done to three kids by seemingly sane people.Sorry for your pain.Someone once told me when people walk out of your life and away from you . . . let them keep walking. Your destiny is never tied to anybody who left.
I am so sorry huggs to you my dad passed away when I was 13. My mom has always been a good mom and shes my best friend. Shes almost 82. Shes having health problems and when God calls her home, I don't know what I will do without my best friend :( if you have any good memories of your dad remember those.
I have to drive an hour and some every weekend to pick up my son and daughter; and watching them drive away with their mom and turning my truck around to head home, thats got to be the loneliest part of my week. To all the other dads out there going through this, you're not alone!
This song has always had my heart coming from a broken home Ive always worked hard to keep it from happening to my son's.♥️and I've never wanted them to have to take that "ride"
Hello Dawn how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
The ride back home is always the worst. I just feel like a check writer, not a Father
So true. That drive home after dropping em off is the worse.
hang in there boss and cherish the time you get
Dave A I have to put the car seats in the trunk. I can’t stand looking at them.
Stay involved. I’m in the same boat.
@@domination1985 you couldn't more Danny. Always take any opportunity that you can take to see them. Even if u have to cancel somerhing that you had planned. Because they didn't plan on what happened. If not then ( as they say in the blink of eye they r grown) it is so true. If you dont take the time when they turn 18 they will be to busy for you. But the way I have always looked at it is when they turn 18 years old grown off to college no time, so just look at it this way That is only 18 summer's, or 18 Christmas, if you really look at it that way it always made me think wow that really isn't a long time. 18 years does seem like a long time 18 summers ( winter, fall) what ever time of year they are born from that moment of birth you only have that 18 birthdays to make an impact on your children's life. And it will make them alot better person when they get older. No need to argue, fight, I can't I have to do whatever, then atleast spend every single moment that you can regardless of how little time you think it might be, no need to argue or fight over things that is just taking those precious moments away that you could spend with them. So 18 summers or when ever makes you realize that's really a blink of an eye. I hope you have a blessed day. And enjoy those precious moments any chance no matter how long or short you might think it is because it's not. 🤝☝️🤲🙏🥁🥁
this song is one of my favorite songs ... the story behind the song is so sad but it's one of the best songs by them ever.....
He came I-20 every two weeks to get me for the weekend from Douglasville. The feels are real.
So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
this one is to my dad I miss you everyday
I couldn't imagine not seeing my son at least 5 to 6 days a week. He is as strong of a kid as I I have every seen. He is the kid laying on the bottom of the shopping cart while shopping at Walmart. He is also the kid the just randomly walks over and takes a cart from an elderly in the same paring lot. "I will return this cart for you." This song helped made me realize the scarcity of some dads in their sons life, and how that would feel for the son and the dad. There are a lot of good dads out there that don't get the opportunity to show there kids who they are. Maybe I am a rarity but everything I do, smell, drink , eat , buy, grow, hunt, fish, work, live, breathe, pray and every step I take will be for Aiden. That will and has brought him to my side.
Almost 3yrs ago now my son was removed from me.
One of the roads I traveled to see him is M20 in Michigan, this song has special meaning to me.. I got my son back. We are doing much better now..
I think of my kids every tiem I hear this and cry my eyes out... reminds e of how my wife bailed after 15 years on ou rmarriage and how after being "Daddy Daycare", a doctor, a confidant, kissing my two kids every night to bed , hugging them all I could .. and now Im a PT father and I hope someday my kids will know this wasn't my choice. I wanted them to be in my arms every day .. Havin lost my own dad back in 1998 , I know how mush I would give to talk to him an get one of his bear hugs again .. Maybe my kids will realize all of this one day !! I love them both so much !
They will know because you are a great parent
Rick Casey
Rick Casey I’m sorry. You aren’t alone. Idk why men and women alike don’t stick it out and adhere to their wedding vows, if not for themselves then for their kids. Divorce is hard on the kids. I do know some people don’t have a choice of course so I’m not saying this about you. I’m just saying kids need their daddy’s around.
12 hour drive around $50 in gas every other weekend. She is so worth it. Glad to get past the 330 a WEEK in support.
Often times bands & singers don't sound good when they perform live but Zac brown exceeded my expectation. They sound better live than the recordings. Also, this song by far is my favorite.
My dad picked me up every weekend, never ever missed one!!!! Great song
✨Thanks for complimenting on my page, I never knew our song still touches the heart of many, i hope you never stop listening to my music?
Zac Brown’s Highway 20 Ride is a classic. Zac Brown is the Kid involved in Highway 20 Ride which really tears at one’s emotion when you put yourself into that position. Zac Brown’s band continues to expand the field of country music integrating several genres of music. Video is attached.
For me is also west, then south and across the border.I love my lil girl more than any other person.it kills me to be away from her and this song makes me cry all the time.Fathers do care about their children as much as moms do
truly love this song, beings me to tears every time I hear it. Music is therapy. Saying the words you want to say but you cannot.
I think about my adopted mother and wish she was still here to enjoy all of her grandkids especially the last 3 granddaughters okay
I CAN NEVER WATCH THIS WITHOUT TEARS OF REGRET FLOWING DOWN,MY SON HAD A FATHER THAT WAS A SOMETIMES"HIGHWAY 20 RIDE " WE GOT TO BE AN INCONVIENCE AND THE THE PARENTS"WERE TO SELFISH TO STOP FIGHTING SO MY SON COULD HAVE A DAD.REGRET IS A TERRIBLE POISON TO LIVE WITH.IF YOUR DAD OUT THERE THAT HAS SHARED CUSTODY OF YOUR KIDS ..DONT LET YOUR DISLIKE/HATE WHATEVER STOP YOU FROM SEEING YOUR KIDS..ITS NOT THEIR FAULT.GOD BLESS ANY OF YOU OUT THERE..AND GOD BLESS ZAC BROWN BAND..LOVE U GUYS!!!!!!
💔 Breaks my heart to think of all the divorced kids out there that feel such sadness
Highway 20 may or may not pass through where you from but the road number doesn't matter. It happens to pass through near where I am from but its anywhere and everywhere to those who love their kids and face this situation. Thank you Zach Brown Band.
Love this song! Twice a month and any other free time I had for 10 years i drove six and a half hours to see my daughter.. She graduates high school june 2 2019.. She will start college this fall 45 minutes from me... I guess that drive paid off.. I love you sweetie!!
I am in complete years right now!! I wish my dad would just tell me he's proud of me for once...that's all I want is for him to be proud of me ):
Everybody dies inside that's been involved in such a ride
Ralph Gee agree
My son lived on Hwy 20 in Toledo, Oregon which goes from Coast to Coast. I am 67 now and his mother and I were divorced 48 years ago, so not only did I make that drive but I died a million times during it. My son just died in September from 3 bee stings, he was almost 50, and I will always wonder what we would have become had we been able to meet one more time on that Hwy 20 ride?
These guys sound better live than most of today's bands sound with the help of studio musicians and electronic wizardry. Real musicians, real songs sung with real feeling. I wish the rest of the so called music industry would take notice of this. It is what real music sounds like and what real music fans are craving!
Used to make that ride between ga and al. Now he lives in Canada with his wife and 2 babies. This song still hits my heart.
Now my grandbabies listen to chicken fried
Oh that is so true there are a lot of us good God fearing fathers that try to make a different in our children I was so happy when he recorded this song do not ever give up fathers one day
This song really hits home with me. As someone who used to drop his daughter off on Sundays for almost 15 years, I can tell you the drive back alone is one of the worst feelings a father (or mother) can have. You feel like you leave a piece of your heart behind every time you make the drive. I hated Sundays because of it.
Still one of my favorite singers , I divorced and raised my sons on my own !! I love this song because it reminds me of what could have been !! not all dad's are bad !!
Every time I have my daughters for an extended period of time..and then I have to drop them off
It hits me all over again. And I get reminded of what I have missed..
I've been divorced for 10 yrs
My favorite band since Alabama.
Who's still here 2019🔥🔥🔥
Yeah
probably every dad getting fucked over
2017. My favorite country band still. Reminds me of my gf.
I don't even have kid's and I'm crying my eyes out!!! What a beautiful and sad song ❤
highway 80 for me every other Friday
a real woman/mother would never take her babies away from the dads, no matter how shitty things ended between them. It isn't their fault two grown adults couldn't work it out.
Janet Hayes unless the father was abusive
Jacob Lehnherr yes I very much agree! BUT, I think father's get so much hatred because of divorces! My mom wants nothing to do with my dad anymore. My dad trys to talk to my mom about bills with me and my brother and she just doesn't reply.
My mom took my brother away from me and my dad and it kills me every hour because he is my best friend and I'm his little sissy this song makes me and my dad cry because he live 10 hours away so I haven't seen him in 6 years my mom never makes an effort to bring him up here which just hurts so much.... all that I really want is my big brother.
Also it isnt like my dad doesnt try it is just that we both have anxiety and cant leave the state with out my grandma
Amen Janet !!!!
Do you remember when your babies were little and you didnt know shit but to work and your heart and soul loves them...
This brings salted water, out of my eyes, and down my cheeks...off the chin and onto my boots, or the ground. This is me as a dad, looking back to those long rides, and short days with my kiddos.
This song makes me think of my youngest son who we lost in 2008. "and I wish that I could you." What I wouldn't give for that!
