My old man is 93. Every day is a gift. If I'm considered half the man my father is, then I've succeeded.

The timing of me finding this song and video today is not just a coincidence, but a gift for what it reminded me of - the bond growing up with my old man in rural America. He passed when I was younger back in June 2010 and from that perspective it also makes me miss all the memories we didn’t get to have together in my adult life.

My old man is my stepfather and I haven’t ever looked at him no different. He’s my father. He took me in when I was 13 and now I’m 31. My old man still right there.

Lost my Dad a year ago today and this hits home so much. I pray that some day I can right my wrong and let my Dad know how much I really needed him. Living on God's promises that I see him again someday

Pray for the boy's that didn't have daddies, they're lost and hurting and will fall for anything that replaces that void.

My son just moved out of state to chase his own path in life. He sent this song to me today and I cursed him for making this grown man cry. I’m also my daddy’s son, so I felt it twice. Good job man. Keep writing!

My father died when I was 26 the last time I saw him I was 18. A lot of you are so fortunate to have your fathers at later ages. I’d give up my life to spend time with my dad for a day.

I've held my dad's passing in for so long that I didn't know how to react when I first heard this beautiful masterpiece. God bless you Trey.

My dad just past away...and this song just came on with no name...at my house....thank you for that dad...I don't know this singer...but you just said it all...thank you

Brought me to tears young man, the Lord took Daddy from me @13 yrs of age... But I see him in the mirror every day...

Wish I grew up with a dad, praying I have a son to get the experience!

When you have a real father that’s been there and always made sure you understood how to become a man , then this song hits just a little bit different ✍🏽💯

I’ll never know the loving and comfort of a dad. But I pray my son will have this relationship with his daddy. That’s all I ask for, Lord. To let my son have what I didn’t. 🥺

I lost my father when I was 14, I am 23 now. I can't hear this song without thinking about him. I cherish every memory and lesson he taught me. I am also thankful for my coach/pastor who took me under his wing and was like a second father to me.

I'm talking to the parents here. Always make sure to tell your children your love and how proud you are. Even if they're not what we expected them to be. I lost my son. He was on his way to my home. He got off the city bus. To cross the street. I must a truck a pickup truck. My baby lay there on the road by Himself he died at 11:57 PM. He didn't have no ID on. Him He had lost it a couple days before. But that night I felt something within me I remember saying God. Please protect Jesse Keep him safe. I went to sleep. I get a knock at the door that morning. Ask me If I knew a Jesse Erwin I said yes, he's my son,, is everything okay? There's been an accident.. I said where he told me. I said what hospital is he at so I could get there? He said I'm sorry to tell you, but your son didn't make it..My world stopped It was. like an echo coming out of the man's voice. Please always tell your children you love them. and that you forgive them? For anything that your child may have done or you have done please .You may not know when it will be your last God bless you

Oh my, i'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. Hearing from my dad, as a 13 and 16 year old boy that I was not welcome in his "new family" with a new woman broke me. I did not even hear from him when my daugther was born. My duty here in life is to be that supporting, present and loving dad, that I never had...

Wow. When my father was alive. I would come sit down with him in his room and say. "Hey dadddy" I did ever since I was 13. When his cancer took my father from me. My mother said "son your dad wanted me to let you know. He loved how you always greeted him. Hey daddy." I never knew how much I loved someone until I watched him take his last breath.

5.5 years since I lost my father. This song hit me in the chest like a horse kicked me. Miss you pop.

My Dad left when i was 3. But the man i call Dad passed away in 2020. He taught me everything I know and do. He wasnt the most syphothetic or emotional man. But he came and he stayed! he did not have to do that! I Love and miss him everyday. This song hits such a cord! God Bless you SIR!

My oldest is in Nashville chasing this dream. I didn’t support him like I should’ve when he was younger. If you read this son your dad loves you and is proud of you! 🤟🏻 Give it your best shot.

This song brought tears to my eyes, took a moment to stop what im doing and give my 5yr old boy a big hug and hold him there for a moment. This is REAL country music. I appreciate you for this song.

Ive never had a dad. Hell i never had a man tell me they were proud of me. Now i got two young boys of my own, im jus trying to be like the dads in thw country songs

To anybody whos lost somebody just know it's people like this young man who are here to get our emotions out. It's healthy and don't fear the tears just do it with a smile of good memories, I'm sure I speak for most of these people in the comments when I say we all wish you the best and to stay strong we are all in the same boat some day so let's care about each other today.

R.I.P. Pop. 💔

😭 I came across this song and it so describes my Son. When he was growing up on this old farm he would often butt heads with his Dad, chores, rules, etc. My husband taught him to work hard, even if it caused them to argue, fuss and fight over who was wrong and who was right. There came a time when despite the love, he went his own way, and sadly stayed away. October 3, 2014 My husband passed away, and before he took his last breath he said, "I've made peace with him Momma, I Pray he comes home to you someday". 😭 That Day came 4 months ago and it is amazing to see the difference in him. HE IS HIS DADS SON!! He is back on the farm, taking care of things here, owns his own business, cares for his children despite opposition from 2 failed marriages, and I know his Dad is looking down from Heaven proud that he came home to the family that never stopped loving him and Praying for him. I'm not well and he makes sure I am cared for, because he is his DADS SON 💙

"To find the underdog and make him strong so he can be alright "👍🇺🇸

Not gonna lie, i dont have the strength to listen to this unless im drinkin. Lost the old man a year ago, sent this to him about 3 months before he passed and cussed me for days for makin him cry. Now i do whenever it pops up

My father died when I was 14 and what sucks the most is I can't relate to this cause he died before I got the chance to really know him.

"Always pushing you away, and if I'm being honest... dad I'm so glad you stayed" ooph. That hit me right in the heart.

The fact that I still have my old man sure as hell didn’t stop a tear from coming to my eye. Something this good isn’t very common anymore. Keep it up!

I’m my daddy’s son but he was never there for me like I wished he would be. This song gives me visions of what it would be with him there for me. And I honestly look and act just like him but I’m trying to build a relationship with him. I just wish that someone would pray for me and him and our relationship. Thank You Everyone🙏🏻

Laying here listening to this watching my son sleep! I am so not ready for him to start walking!! Enjoying every moment!!!

I’m 36 years old I cried uncontrollably. Needed that. Thanks partner

I love my pops, he’s out back home in Texas while I’m out here in California working. I miss my old man. God bless you brother.

My dad was my world. He passed a couple years ago at 80 yrs old. I thank you for reminding me what a great man he was and they say i am just like him. Thank you!!!

Lost my Dad in Feb 2022, then Mom this Aug. This is an awesome song. There may be some country music left in this new generation.

Man I had a rough day being a dad... my boy did everything opposite of what I asked and man I felt defeated after today... It was a day that I felt like I failed as a dad... hearing this song leveled me out... I can't dwell on a bad day when I am so blessed everyday.

When he started singing it sent chills through my body

This song really hits home. I Lost my Dad in 2012 when I was 25. It’s been a rough ride trying to piece it all together on my own and find my way through life. Watching him take his last breath is something I’ll always remember. Not because I want to remember his passing, but rather to remember how in that exact moment I realized how much I really loved my dad. I’m 37 now and living life to its fullest raising my son and loving every moment of it. I think about how much my Dad would’ve loved him and how proud he would’ve been. If you’re reading this Dad, I love you. I miss you and I hope I make you proud.

I miss my Dad as he passed away 9 years ago . He always had an answer to all my questions from the time I was a tot till we all had to say goodbye Dad. I am now 73 years old. I still catch myself reaching for my phone just to ask a question or to say I love and I miss you, Dad. He knew that answer too.. As I am my daddies daughter .

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while.

You hit home with this. Man I’m crying like a baby over here. Lost my dad back in may 2020 me and the ole lady got a son due in June. The number one thing I wanted was my dad to meet his grandkid. He may be gone but I know he is looking down smiling and proud. Love you pops

Lost my Dad 7 years ago when I was 17, didn’t even get to see my graduate high school😢 he was my best friend, together all the time my life will never be the same. No matter what I can’t get over it I hide it well but everyday I miss him more!

My dad passed in 2010 I miss him every day wish he was here to see the life Ive built for myself and kids

Miss my dad. Incredible song Trey... keep doing this. Don’t let Nashville change you

Well done bud. Lemme know if you wanna write one sometime

This song had me in tears... I love you Dad!

Man you told your story, which is my story. First two times I heard this song I had to stop working. I'm a carpenter. I had a son at 21 raised him on my own he is one of the best men men I've ever known. First man to have a college degree but still he chose to be a carpenter. He's a god fearing man and so is his young wife both 23 years old. I sent this to him and it took 2 hours his dog and two beers to call me. And he was still a mess like me. You hit a couple of country boys in the heart. Man.. God bless you and your daddy brother And Momma!

My Dad just recently had a stroke and has Bell’s palsy it’s getting better, but time flies by so fast. And I cry because both of my parents and brother are growing up I rarely see my brother anymore. 😥 I’m praying life just gets better, especially for Humanity as a whole.... please let’s all show how much faith and hope we all have for not just our next door neighbor or friends but as a whole planet and race. Give Thanks, Give when needed and be Humble

My eldest son just sent this to me after a few months of tension i know I'm a hard dad and just wanted him to Realize Nobody is going to hit as hard as Life does!!!! He's in the US Army and i Sure am glad he is speaking to me again Thanks for this song!!! i Have to realize the words and learn to let him be a MAN 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪

I have my Jr now. This song is the motivation I needed. God gave me my boy.

Lost my father to stomach cancer a few days ago. Trying to write his eulogy right now. Hard to find what to say. He was such a great man words can't do him justice. All I gotta say tho is cherish every moment you have with your loved ones never know when there moment will come❤💯

A father’s love is something beyond special. I’m so thankful and grateful to God I still have my pops around.

Awesome song. My dad was both parents and then some. I get goose bumps and remember all of the good times. I miss you dad. R. I. P. This song causes tears.

I moved across the country about a month and a half ago by myself fresh out of highschool and realized my dad was my bestest of friends and this made me miss him like crazy

My dad just passed away so this song has a whole new meaning to me..... thank you trey

Goodness Brother.. I lost my Dad last week and this song hits home! I love you and miss you Pops so much! Thanks for such a touching song

"...to find the underdog and make him strong, so he can be alright..." My dad passed January 15th, 2020... when I was young he told me, "there's more to be proud of standing up for someone weaker, than standing next to someone stronger!" It didn't always mean physical strength, either. Thank you for this song!

Man my daddy raised me proper and this song is 100% my daddy and I!!! Lord bless any man that can be like us and do it right.

Lost my dad unexpectedly three days ago on 7/1/2022. Still confused. Still processing. One thing I know is I'm going to put everything he ever taught me to practice. I have big shoes to fill. One thing I'm sure of and this goes for everyone who's going through something similar is they're just saving a seat for us up in heaven. We'll see them soon and make them proud when we do.

My Dad passed away 2 years ago, and just to hear his voice and going over to his and mom's house to have a beer while my dad grilled steaks, and him seeing his 3 grandkids just one more time. I'll see you one day Dad but not today

I just found this checking out some new artists. Pops went to heaven in ‘09. We were just alike. I spent all the time I could with my Dad especially hunting. He was himself away from business and his wife. I see so much him in what I say. When I pull a fun night. I’m 51 and I still cry like a baby. I have his two felt resistal hats. I put them in the truck at the beginning of deer season. Young man, thank you for this song. It meant so much to me to hear this today. I can’t thank you enough.

I lost my father back about June 3rd so a couple days ago ...I still haven't gotten used to it...I keep going to songs ...i wanted to listen to with him...thank you the great music

Dad passed two days ago. Heard this song for the first time today. Thank you,

6/30/14. I miss my dad so much. I wish my wife could have met him. He was definitely one of a kind. Now all we have is stories and it kills me.

Lost my dad to suicide in 2016 when I was 9 or 10. I am now 16 years old, hearing this song instantly made me cry, miss my old Man, love the song keep it up

I never exactly got to grow up with my dad but hearing this song for the first time ever the first person I thought of was my mom she truly is the one who took care of me and made me the man I am today she was both mom and dad to me my whole life and still is I moved to Florida in order to try and make a better life not only for me and my fiancé but I wanted to make my mothers life better for everything she has done for me I love her with everything I am and I can’t thank her enough

My daddy just passed it's only been 6 day I'm a daddy too myself of two little boys this song hits home in so many ways wish my daddy was here to share it with

Im a single son of my daddy and a daddy of 5 boys no matter who their blood is... Very well done man very well done.

This song hits deep lost my father my hero my best friend 2 years ago now!! Thank you for this song, true blessing ❤️🙏🤜😊

I'm 62 and still remember good times with my dad. Then life got busy and the next thing you know, it's been 6 months since we talked and then a year. At 59, l made a choice to call him every Saturday morning at 8am. He is getting older, losing his eye sight and hearing. Memory is not as good for either of us. I really wish I had started calling him sooner but am glad that I still have time. I appreciate the song. Oh and did I mention, my son sent this to me! 😊

I lost my Dad in 2019 he was only 57 years old same age as my mother was when she passed away from cancer💔🥺💙🕊️💪💜 this song reminds me of them gone to young and soon but the memories are never forgotten I love u dad and mom miss u a lot

My dad passed 5 months ago and I've held everything in pretty much this entire time. This some made me completely lose it and I needed ever second of it. Thank you for making such a beautiful song and helping me get a lot of emotion out that needed to come out and help me with my healing process.

Man. I miss my daddy so much. I live in his honor, in his name, and I will make him proud if it take everything I have to give

My dad passed away 9 months after this song came out... and I'm just hearing this now.

My sons won't remember their daddy, and it breaks me. My dad died 2.5 years ago, and I miss him every day. Daddies are so important. So important. I'm My daddies daughter 💗

song hits home . me and my dad dont have the best relationship but when i hear these lyrics it just hits a certain spot now that i have a son myself . its ironic how u used to ignore ur fathers advice & as u get older ur fathers advice u hated or just rejected was right all along and now all u can do is reciprocate it to ur son yourself and be close to ur father while hes still here

I love how you just walk right past that “please wear a mask sign” ✊🏻

Miss my dad it's been 12 years and I'm turning 16 this year

Bro...u said things I never knew the words for when it came to the man I call dad

Just lost my dad a couple weeks ago sudden motorcycle accident this song hits hard cuts deep we were closer than close and always worked on vehicles together thank you for this

My kid’s lost their daddy unexpectedly in January. This June will be 28 years that my daddy left this world. It’s heartbreaking.

My dad passed at 67. I was 17 and had no idea what was in store for me. I am the complete opposite of what he wanted me to be and everyday I ask myself and Jesus if I let him down. As soon as I lost him one by one all the major family members that started all the family traditions just up and vanished into thin Air. I am not sad though for them reaching the afterlife because they are now part of the universe and everything that makes it. Ashes to ashes dust to dust. Rip to the fallen soldiers.

I lost my dad when I was 9 but I kept pushing myself to keep going and that is why I'm listing to this because i was a daddy's boy and then i lost my grandpa 6-9 months later and i thought my life was over but i know what they would say keep going and that is why I'm doing what they did

This is unreal, man. You have no idea who you are touching with these words but just know they are touching. Lost my dad a few years ago and this hits right at home. Miss every second with my dad and this song just feels like his arms. Thank you for this.

Buddy you are ripping my heart with this song. Lost my daddy 1.5 years ago and life isn’t the same without out him

Im a girl and Im crying like a baby missing my daddy, he lives far away

Damn dad..if this aint us.. this one jerked some heart strings.. love you old boy, not a day goes by...

I feel every word to this song for me and my daddy. He's gone now and Christmas was sad, but he made me the person I am today and my love for him is true evidence of that. I love this song. Thank you.( I'm my daddy's daughter!! )

It's my Father's birthday and I stumbled across this song. Lost him when I was young due to an OD. He was a Sergeant E6 from Desert Storm. Sometimes the war starts when you get home. Love you, pops

It's been 10yrs today since I lost my Dad ..man this song hits hard

Brother I listened on repeat, and cried my eyes out.. Rip Daddy... Thank you for this

My pop passed in 95 miss him everyday and I got so good when ppl say your just like him love this song

Everytime this song comes on in my playlist I know my daddy will never die thank you Trey

I never knew my Dad. I'm the Father of one Daughter, two Sons, and three beautiful Grandchildren. I'm not proud of the bad that I've done but when I'm no more on this earth....I know that I was Blessed to have been the Man who was part of their lives. I just hope and pray my Father in Heaven sees something in me to take me with Him.

This song made me cry because it reminded me of my Father. He passed in 2019 and this song sounds exactly like the two of us. My Father was on heck of a man! I just want to live up to his example. I love you Dad!❤❤❤❤❤

Here at 5 views, this is going to BLOW UP! OUTSTANDING JOB!

My daddy was my grandpa this song reminds me of him im miss my daddy so much he passed away 6 years ago 💔😢😔😞😪

Lost my dad 2 years ago, he was 59. This song is amazing and brought tears and chills to me.

Every time I listen to the song I get choked up. I might sit in my truck and drink beer and have A good cry before I go with my family. You know why because you RIGHT am my daddy's son! Hurrah
