Im not going to lie. Im 31 years old an I cried. I wish I had my old man. I can relate. He used to let me drive his truck when I was on his lap. He was in Afghanistan and his helicopter was shot down. Last thing I hear from him was "It'll be ok. Ill be back soon. I love you son" and he left to return in a casket. I miss my old man:( Thats why I became a U.S Marine so if one day I see him in heaven, I could shake his hand hug him and hear him tell me the most powerful words to me "son, im proud of you. I love you"
I lost my dad this April.. I always called him Old man. " Hey old man!" " I love you old man!". I know this son is for a father and his son. But I was a daddy's girl. I did everything with him I miss him something awful. :(
Lost my dad yesterday he was 57. I’m 26 he was taken from me so unexpectedly. Cherish you’re loved ones people, tomorrow is never promised I’ve got a lot of life left to live if the good lord allows it and idk what I’m going to do without my dad.
I lost my father at the beginning of my senior year in college. He wanted the doctors to keep him alive long enough to see me graduate. He passed away 2 months into my senior year. To anyone that is listening to this song and still have their father. Cherish every moment you can with him because one day you are going to look back and regret not spending more time with him.
This song is dedicated to all the fathers in the world, and all the ones in heaven. Im sorry for anyone who lost their dad or grandfather but you will see them in heaven someday♥️
Brian B yeah I lost my dad 1 week after my 16th b-day due to undetected heart disease. And my grandfather has liver cancer. I pray really hard for him every day and night.
Kylee Restle hope you handle yourself well. I just can't imagine myself going through that. Just hold on. There is something better in future that god has planned. Be strong
Zac Brown my dad passed in April of this past year. This song hits me square in my heart. I cant sit down with my guitar and get through the first verse without tears. You dudes are the most authentic, prolific, talented musicians and composers I have ever heard in my 52 years of life and I was a die hard Beatles fan growing up. look forward to more of your songs and concerts. back in the 1980's while at a dead show in Columbia Maryland I walked straight into Jerry Garcia and almost knocked him over as I am a pretty big guy myself . I was like holy shit that was cool. I walked fifty more feet into the lounge with my cousin and two minutes later Phil Lesch walked up at sat next to us at the bar and we got to drink and chat with him for about an hour. I hope someday I walk into one of you boys. thanks for all your great music
That's hard man. My Dad passed away when I was 24. I am 45 now. You get through it, but you realize just how much you miss him when he's gone. Be well.
don brennan I lost my mom at 11 and my grandpa on the 28 of march he was my literally my twin just born 76 years apart this song hits hard cause I called him old Man so my grandpa was my old man he basically raised me cause my dad was military so he taught me everything I know
I have my dad's numbers in my phone still year half since he passed , couple weeks ago his work called me looked at my phone it said dad i froze till I saw the number
Yep. Just went through a massive list of what is "supposedly" the best songs of 2016. This is the only one so far I know of that is a truly great song. Figures it would be The Zac Brown Band. They did it again. I hope they keep up the good work.
I lost my Dad 5 years ago and every time he sings “I hope he’s proud of who I am” it gets me. Thank you for a wonderful tribute to are fathers in Heaven!
I always called my grandfather “Old Man.” He passed away on Feb. 21st of this year. We played this song at his funeral, and it took everything in me to not break down.
I lost my dad 10 months after I lost my mom to cancer. Being an only child I was very close to parents. I will never forget the things my dad taught me. He taught me a skill to be able to provide for my family now what. I miss them both so much.
Christopher Patton I know what your going threw I lost my grandfather to lung I know he wasn't my father but he stepped up when he didn't have too i can tell you this I don't care what anyone saids it never gets easier you just learn to cope with it I'm very sorry for your lost he's there around you just remember that man take what he taught you and pass on to your son in the future
My dad passed the same month... I feel like he's just on a vacation... And he'll be back soon... But he's not... But Ik he's happy..and cancer free up there...
Very touching. Partly because my dad isn't the man i want to be for my own kids one day. And partly because i hope i will one day be the man my own kids would want to be like. Thank you Zac Brown Band for another beautifull song from the heart
This song makes me think of so much. My actual father has never been there for me and after 26 years he’s trying to become apart of my life. As hard as it may seem to some I don’t look at him as a father. Since I was 3 years old so for the pass 23 years I have been raised by my “stepdad” who in my eyes is my dad. He has taught me so much over the years and honestly I never told him how much it truly means to me. Listening to songs like this makes me want to call and tell him how much he means to me but then I’m scared bc he’s always told me to be tough and I know the day I tell him it’s going to break me down. We have been through so much and I even hated him for a few years bc I was a child who didn’t understand. I didn’t understand why he kept me away from the man who should have been my “father”. Once I grew up and I had my first child it made me realize he wasn’t being mean,selfish,or anything of the sort. He was being a father! He didn’t want me to be around a drug addict who didn’t care who’s life he messed up. He just wanted me to have the best future I could possible have. Yesterday was his birthday and I called like every other year we joked around and stuff but before I could hang up he said “son I am proud of the man you have become” needless to say when he told me that I got tears in my eyes. Ladies and gentlemen tell your mothers and fathers how much they truly mean to you before it’s to late. I am currently working but as soon as I get off I am going sit face to face with my dad so he can truly see how much I appreciate and love everything he has ever done for me.
Been almost four years since I lost my Dad. Wasn't just my Dad, he was my best friend. I miss him so much and would do anything to just see his smile one more time
I hope you did visit him this summer as much as you could....my Dad is is Heaven and I can't see him and it hurts so please tell your Dad and mom that you love them and hug them and see the m as much as you can because time with them is limited.
definitely. you should check out Cody Jinks. he has a few songs that really make you stop and think. Cast No Stones, Give All You Can, Vampires and I'm Not the Devil are some that come to mind. true country is out there and will never go away, despite whatever shit is on the radio
I lost my father on November 14, 2018. We had to rush him to the hospital on Veterans Day after he had collapsed. The last thing I said to him was, "We gotta go dad, but we'll see you tomorrow, okay? Get some good sleep. Goodnight dad." I was so confident I was gonna see him again I didn't even say "I love you." before I left... He died of septic shock a few hours later. I now have to work a menial job so I can support my family just as he did. Trying to fill his boots. One of the last things he told me was, "Work comes first." It wasn't until after he was gone that I understood what he meant. Work comes first so you can provide for your family and give them security... I hope I'm doing good in his eyes. I hope he's proud of me... I miss my old man...
You seem like a good person. Just know even though you didn't get to tell him you love him, he knows and is very proud of you working hard to support your family. I do the same as you bust my ass for mediocre pay but when I see my children happy and comfortable it is all the pay in the world.
Sorry for your loss bro. I know what it's like to lose someone close to your heart without being able to say goodbye, love you and will miss you heaps.😢❤
Rest in peace, I was born November 14th 2003? Thats odd, May he fly high with the angels and I pray that you're family lives a long and happy life together.
kyle muller. so proud of you i am a mother to a Marine there is nothen in this world that can ever take our children. Always love your Daddy and let nothen come between you two.
Aaron Gordon my father never had a father either, me? It’s like I never had one until my mother divorced him because of his drinking but he is sober now and that doesn’t help it he is a complete asshole but he still try’s,
my Father passed away tragically in November 2018. I had this song included in his memorial service , and have listened to it every single day since . I've never had a song speak to me like this one has . The "dusty overalls" and "callosed hands" , right to the "hope he's proud of who I am" , these lyrics described my Father ,and our relationship . This song helps me get through the days
My father passed away last month, and I have a one-year-old son with another on the way. This song REALLY hits home. It makes me both sad and happy at the same time.
They played this song at my grandpa’s funeral today..... at my mom and her brothers’ request. It brings me comfort, actually.... because he’d sing it. :.) Im just gonna sit here....for the rest of my life... listening to this (my grandpa and I were really close.)
Me too, I still look up to him, even though he is gone. He showed what a true family man was and father. Love his kids no matter what life handed them. Not like my own father
I feel ya bro... I feel ya it's crazy bc my dad had this played at my grandpa's funeral last year I wasn't sure you it was at first but I heard it again today on Spotify and ik it sounds dumb but it made me cry me and my grandpa where really close to.
Yaretzi Bibian Treasure every moment with your dad. Mines passed away 2009 right before christmas and so the holidays are really tuff on my sister. I know we will be together again and that gives me peace because its a promise from Jehova God. That doesnt mean I dont miss him more and more every day. God Bless.
One of the lessons my dad always used to say to me was, "Be a person your children would be proud of". To be honest, I'm very anxious whether I'd be able to become as great as my old man, I know in me that I'll never be as close to what he had achieved in his life, but I believe that I, and we all should, strive to become a person worthy to be our children's pride.
I’m crying so much😭honestly I was always told my dad didnt love me or want me.... but he does everything he can to provide for me. I love him so much... I can’t lose him😭my whole life I’ve been a daddy’s girl... to this day I still am. No matter how mad he makes me sometimes I love him😭❤️🤧
I understand where you are coming from im sending some friendly words continue to send love and guidance to a hurting world. I always tell my wife that shes a warrior of love. Be awesome take care
CMT Productions 2017 dude not everyone love the same music as you. If you don't like pop music from nowadays, it's ok but nobody care. Is your fucking "opinion". Classic butt hurts saying "music of nowadays really sucks" bla bla bla. Fuck off.
I lost my husband October 3, 2014 and I stood by him as he was slowly dying of Silicosis(Black Lung Disease). He was my everything and though he lost his faculties, OUR LOVE STAYED STRONG UNTIL THE VERY END!! I now grieve for him everyday and wish we went together, but I promised him I would stay and watch our grand babies grow and play. He said the night before he died that he wanted to box us all up and take us with him. My heart will never be the same again. 2 days before he passed away he asked me to take him out on our porch, as we got out there he said "Do you hear the doves?" we live on the farm where he was raised and we raised our children. He then sang to me "On the Wings of a Snow White Dove" and it was at that moment I knew he was going to Heaven soon. I so miss my night and shining Armour!! He was too young at 60 yrs old and I was too young at 46 yrs old to become a widow, I truly hate that word. I would rather say I am married, my husband awaits me on the other side. I wear my wedding rings still and his wedding ring size 16, I wear on a gold chain around my neck!! He was to us all :The Man, The Myth, The Legend!! 6'4" and was a gentle giant, never raised his voice at me or a hand, that right there is the definition of a REAL MAN!! I miss you Gary, more than words could ever say, I miss everything about you, your long gray hair and same with your beard, how I loved to brush your hair!!! I miss holding your huge hand in mine and telling you it was ok to let go, to be pain free, for Jesus will heal you as you enter Heaven, but please save a place for me!! I miss you MY LOVE.
Ain't it funny how I see this video pop up at just the right time? Right a I go through a rough patch with my father. This made me cry and almost nothing can do that. Thank you Zac Brown Band.
My dad lost his old man 2 years ago it really hurt him everyday we talk about him all the good memories he died of cancer to the brain i miss him everyday love you bump if someone would like this it would really help
Your a strong young man nate dogg especially loosing two grandfather's 6 days apart.. always remember that they are always in your heart and watching over you... life is so short.. tomorrows never promised Ily luv mom
Nate. I lost not just my dad but also my mom six week pryer. The pain of death hurts still sense 2014. What helped me was the hope of the Resurrection hope. I am a few Jehovah's Witness. Lurned from the Bible there coming back. Please go to jw.org. open front page. Use search engine and look up hope for the dead. Look up scriptures in your bible or the on line Bible on jw.org. you will see the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones. Take care..Charles
I rarely ever talk to my old man, even tho I know damn well I should. In fact, I haven't called him in over two years. But today......I'm calling him. Hell, I'm gonna make it a point to visit him as much as I can this summer.
cody... please talk to him every second you get, when he gone your going wish u did.. please go call him. let the past go.. go LOVE your Dad today.. wish I could.. It's the worse damm pain EVER
It was one of those rare moments. I asked my dad about his dad (whom I had never seen) and it was the first time in my life that he spoke about him. I realised how much he loved his old man.
damn dad I miss you, not a day goes by your not on my mind. I realized so much dad now that you are gone, I realized just the man you wanted me I am today and I owe it you. dad I hope you proud of me dad I miss you so much.....
Boys need to have a dad at home. Priceless to have a loving caring dad. Dad teaches a son so much about the world. My dad prepared me for everything that matter. I am forever grateful. I am not worthy to be in his shadow. That is how great my old man was.
After my Dad's passing yesterday I finally understand how deep this song is, he sure was a giant and a great man he was never sad and were always smiling and joking around, I'm not ready to be a man I'm just 18 but I'll have to be Papa help me take care of Mom I love you and will miss you forever
My dad Died to stage 4 lung Cancer and told me when I was young to always follow what I believe and never change my belief even if someone wants it to change. I miss you Dad 1969-2014
Its been 8 years since my dad passed and i still feel the pain as if it were yesterday. I was 16, so much of my life i would've loved for him to experience with me. Today's his birthday and i just miss him so so much.
You would have been 63 today. Thirteen years still feels like yesterday, I miss you so much. Hope you’re still watching over me every day, all I ever want is to know you’re proud of the man you made.
Carlos Moreno Jr i lost my dad june 21st in 2007 to cancer. its hard but live life as if u were able to show him how proud he could be of u. -hope it helps.
Vaughn , I hope you do realize you're worth. Your daughter has always just wanted you're recognition. She truly loves you with her whole bruised heart. She just wanted and needed you in her life. Her children ,your grand children needed you, and still do in their life. Thankyou for finally making her feel your love. Your a good man. I'm proud of you for the man you've become. Hugs, Diana
To me, listening to Zac Brown Band's music is illustrating a story for his listeners to follow. His style and lyrics are a great mirror of his life that has been put to a sound we all know and love. I thank you for your amazing dedication to your work and your fans. You are the man who you strive to be.
My Old Man was a Texas Firefighter for 30 yrs. He died age 62 in 1980. He taught us ,1 boy 5 girl's, about love and life. This song is Perfect from me to him. I will see him again..someday. 🌷Thanks Zac Brown Band for this beautiful song. So tenderhearted. ❤
I lost my dad 3 years ago he past at 57 I still try to num myself every day caus I miss him so much but playing songs like this just bring me to tears he was best dad ever and best friend but alcohol took the best out of him and he fell and had a brain bleed and I had to pull the plug on my BF and great father life is sure tough sometimes
T.K up in Canada I love my dad he is my best friend I'll always remember he has been in the army and is no out and I am living with him 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I lost my dad 13 years ago and while we butted heads once in awhile, I knew I had his respect. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. In the 13 years since he went on his final journey, I never once broke down over him, but this song pulled that out of me hearing it for the first time tonight watching Austin City Limits. Miss you dad
So this is different, ive always liked to listen to this song. Im 21 and it made me feel like theres other people out there in the world that has lost Fathers and are going through what eventually i would go through. Unfortunately, i have to attend as a Paul Bearer to my Dads Funeral in a few hours. its a sad day for me but i want everyone thats going through the loss of a loved one to know its going to be okay. they will still always be there for you even if theyre gone. and Fuck Cancer. God Bless.
Cancer is a b****, man. A lot of people in the comments here got to spend time with their dads, I didn't get that luxury; I lost him to cancer when I was 7. Sorry for your loss
This song really gives you the feels. Especially when you have a father who has no interest in having a relationship with you. Who would rather spend money on you than spend time with you. Who has never wanted to bond with or build a relationship with his first born son. Who has never taught his son a damn thing. I swear to God I'll be a better father than him.
Nick Burnett my mans I feel you on that what you just said is exactly how it is with me and my dad I'm the first born what you just said is so real I can connect on how you feeling on some next level real shit I listen to this and thought of my grandfather because he's the only dad I know.... I just wish he want me in his life
Hey nick I went through what you went through and it sucks but let me give you some advice, if you want to bond tell him how you feel if he truly loves you he would respect you not only has his son but has man to tell him the truth trust me my brother it works me and my pops have a bond because I told him the truth about how I feel and he respects me for it and I bet yours will too. Good luck and tell me how it goes ✌🏽
im so sorry your dad was like that towards you. mine was the same... we have no real relationship. he just paid for everything but never spent time with me while growing up... never once told me he loved me... always complains and judges me for all my decisions and choices in life.. now he is suffering from lymes disease, diabetes and the effrcts of it also hes in severe pain every waking moment but i forgive him. i love him still. he sacrificed a lot for us and his mom died when he was 7... i blame that event causing him to not be able to show emotions. but i know i dont want to marry that type of man when i become a wife someday. i want my childrens father to show and tell them he loves them everyday and support their achievements etc. i know you will be a great father someday.
NIck, Im in a simmilar situation to you.... my father wants nothing to do with me. I'm just now getting to hear this song, and I agree 100% about the feels...
Yesterday, my uncle put this is on his phone so everyone could listen to this at his funeral. My grandpa was truly my best friend and my father just absolutely loves this song now. I do have to say, it makes me cry every time I listen to this. My grandpa loved everyone. Colored, old, young, rude, and nice. He had over 400 people go to his wake and that just lets me know that, that many people loved him. I will miss my grandpa dearly..He has a long journey from cancer and i am glad he is no longer in pain. thank you for making this song.
Mine passed away of July 4th. He was on a vent and his was wishes to have it out. Still doesn't make it easier. Miss him especially during hunting season
I wish I could get just 5 more minutes with you. I miss you so terribly much dad, I wish you didn't had to go to work that day, but thankful for the hug you gave me the day before you were killed. I'll hug you again in 50 years.
I am 12 and besides God of course, my Dad is an idol to me. This makes me wanna cry holy crap and I'm a dude who doesn't cry despite losing almost all the skin off one side of my arm one time after falling off a skateboard, holy crap the tears are coming.
I haven't lost my dad yet but every time I hear this song I think of him and just sit down and cry cause I know that one day I'm gonna lose him and I'm going to miss having conversations with him so I just wanna say this now I love you Dad and keep doing what you do
i'm 54 tomorrow, and i lost my dad when i was 18...when i first heard this one i was driving on my way to work, and it hit me so hard i had to pull over and cry. good luck amigo, and i am sorry for your loss.
I lost my dad 5 years ago to suicide, this song reminds me of him so much and makes me cry everytime. Doesn't matter how long ago time will never erase his memory.
This song makes me cry for other reasons than most people. My dad has never really been a dad to us kids. He never knew his biological father and you wouldn't think that he would want to do the same thing to his kids that his father did to him but he did. This song is sad to me because of the father I always wanted and longed for but never had. That's OK though because I will be the absolute best father for my kids that they could ever have! It still hurts to this day and part of me wants to tell him I love him because he's still here but most of the time I feel he doesn't deserve that. He doesn't even come down to try to see his grandkids but that should not surprise me being that he never really took care of his own. This is a great song but it's the second part of the song on that means the most to me. I just hope that my son has the chance to do that someday because he was born with an illness and we're not sure how long we will have him for. Hopefully a long time...
Eric Jageman I feel you man. I'm in the same boat. But in the long run that's what will makes us great men and outstanding fathers. We will want to be the fathers we never had.
i love that u 'will treat your children better!' My GranPa shot&murdered my GranMa 'my Dad was 9 he spent 53 yrs. in Prison but day I got married My old Man forgave My OLD Granpa!' glad u enjoyed this song....both have gone to their rest! amen
please do Yourself&Your children a favor 'Go visit your Dad tell him "no mater U LOVE HIM" also tell him "He is WELCOME in Your Lives!" I will pray for U from today forward Bro your Sis Verily!
Eric Jageman - telling your dad you love him is not for your dad - it's for you. It's hard for some parents to give something they never had (love). Sometimes children have to teach parents how to love them, at any age.
Whether thru his actions or his in actions, he made you the man you are. If you are proud of yourself and who you've become then you owe that to him. Forgive him and show him how a man loves his family and it may just change both your worlds.
This is my dad he was my best friend work two job most his life taught me every thing i know he served in the army as a green beret during Vietnam. I lost him at the age of 63 on Sept 2nd 2017 to small cell lung cancer. He taught him how to be tough but no amount of toughness prepared me when i lost him. I remember when i was a kid he was a giant to me. When i became a adult I stood over him but still always was looking up to him.. I love u dad and miss you
My friend told me to listen to this song. I lost my dad to cancer on March 31, 2017 and this song really reminds me of him, my dad was my best friend and made me the young woman I am now I love you dad and miss you so much
Im not going to lie. Im 31 years old an I cried. I wish I had my old man. I can relate. He used to let me drive his truck when I was on his lap. He was in Afghanistan and his helicopter was shot down. Last thing I hear from him was "It'll be ok. Ill be back soon. I love you son" and he left to return in a casket. I miss my old man:( Thats why I became a U.S Marine so if one day I see him in heaven, I could shake his hand hug him and hear him tell me the most powerful words to me "son, im proud of you. I love you"
Kyle Kendall I don’t usually comment on videos, especially comments. But I felt this. I hope you get to hear those words.

God bless you and thank you
Brian B yeah I lost my dad 1 week after my 16th b-day due to undetected heart disease. And my grandfather has liver cancer. I pray really hard for him every day and night.
Kylee Restle hope you handle yourself well. I just can't imagine myself going through that. Just hold on. There is something better in future that god has planned. Be strong
Zac Brown my dad passed in April of this past year. This song hits me square in my heart. I cant sit down with my guitar and get through the first verse without tears. You dudes are the most authentic, prolific, talented musicians and composers I have ever heard in my 52 years of life and I was a die hard Beatles fan growing up. look forward to more of your songs and concerts. back in the 1980's while at a dead show in Columbia Maryland I walked straight into Jerry Garcia and almost knocked him over as I am a pretty big guy myself . I was like holy shit that was cool. I walked fifty more feet into the lounge with my cousin and two minutes later Phil Lesch walked up at sat next to us at the bar and we got to drink and chat with him for about an hour. I hope someday I walk into one of you boys. thanks for all your great music
don brennan join the fan club the Zamily, they give you many opportunities to meet the guys

Yep. Just went through a massive list of what is "supposedly" the best songs of 2016. This is the only one so far I know of that is a truly great song. Figures it would be The Zac Brown Band. They did it again. I hope they keep up the good work.
BCK450 YES.
I lost my Dad 5 years ago and every time he sings “I hope he’s proud of who I am” it gets me. Thank you for a wonderful tribute to are fathers in Heaven!
My dad's been gone for 45 years, but this beautiful song brings back many memories and tears. Thank you, Zac Brown, for all your true country music.
Country
I always called my grandfather “Old Man.” He passed away on Feb. 21st of this year. We played this song at his funeral, and it took everything in me to not break down.
I lost my dad 10 months after I lost my mom to cancer. Being an only child I was very close to parents. I will never forget the things my dad taught me. He taught me a skill to be able to provide for my family now what. I miss them both so much.
This song came out at the perfect time for me, I lost my dad on Mar 5th this year to lung cancer, this song really helps me. thank you zac !!
Christopher Patton sorry to hear that brother. Hang in there.
Sorry bro, I'm sure your father is looking down at you right now.
Christopher Patton I know what your going threw I lost my grandfather to lung I know he wasn't my father but he stepped up when he didn't have too i can tell you this I don't care what anyone saids it never gets easier you just learn to cope with it I'm very sorry for your lost he's there around you just remember that man take what he taught you and pass on to your son in the future
Christopher Patton sorry for your loss
My dad passed the same month... I feel like he's just on a vacation... And he'll be back soon... But he's not... But Ik he's happy..and cancer free up there...
Very touching. Partly because my dad isn't the man i want to be for my own kids one day. And partly because i hope i will one day be the man my own kids would want to be like.
Thank you Zac Brown Band for another beautifull song from the heart
This song makes me think of so much. My actual father has never been there for me and after 26 years he’s trying to become apart of my life. As hard as it may seem to some I don’t look at him as a father. Since I was 3 years old so for the pass 23 years I have been raised by my “stepdad” who in my eyes is my dad. He has taught me so much over the years and honestly I never told him how much it truly means to me. Listening to songs like this makes me want to call and tell him how much he means to me but then I’m scared bc he’s always told me to be tough and I know the day I tell him it’s going to break me down. We have been through so much and I even hated him for a few years bc I was a child who didn’t understand. I didn’t understand why he kept me away from the man who should have been my “father”. Once I grew up and I had my first child it made me realize he wasn’t being mean,selfish,or anything of the sort. He was being a father! He didn’t want me to be around a drug addict who didn’t care who’s life he messed up. He just wanted me to have the best future I could possible have. Yesterday was his birthday and I called like every other year we joked around and stuff but before I could hang up he said “son I am proud of the man you have become” needless to say when he told me that I got tears in my eyes. Ladies and gentlemen tell your mothers and fathers how much they truly mean to you before it’s to late. I am currently working but as soon as I get off I am going sit face to face with my dad so he can truly see how much I appreciate and love everything he has ever done for me.
Been almost four years since I lost my Dad. Wasn't just my Dad, he was my best friend. I miss him so much and would do anything to just see his smile one more time
that makes me cry. Amazing song! I cant wait for the album!!
Belen Ladaga Yeah same. These type of songs always get me.
Matthew Courduff yup ❤❤❤ this song
Belen Ladaga i started crying before the song even started
Matthew Courduff ok
What date will release the album?
I had pull of side road. I was crying so hard. Heading now to see my old man
There's a need for more country music that touches your heart like this.
True I I love this song omg I cry so much much
Hell yes
i know right
I hope you did visit him this summer as much as you could....my Dad is is Heaven and I can't see him and it hurts so please tell your Dad and mom that you love them and hug them and see the
m as much as you can because time with them is limited.
definitely. you should check out Cody Jinks. he has a few songs that really make you stop and think. Cast No Stones, Give All You Can, Vampires and I'm Not the Devil are some that come to mind. true country is out there and will never go away, despite whatever shit is on the radio
There are few words that do this song justice. Absolutely beautiful.
I lost my father on November 14, 2018. We had to rush him to the hospital on Veterans Day after he had collapsed. The last thing I said to him was, "We gotta go dad, but we'll see you tomorrow, okay? Get some good sleep. Goodnight dad." I was so confident I was gonna see him again I didn't even say "I love you." before I left...
He died of septic shock a few hours later. I now have to work a menial job so I can support my family just as he did. Trying to fill his boots. One of the last things he told me was, "Work comes first." It wasn't until after he was gone that I understood what he meant. Work comes first so you can provide for your family and give them security...
I hope I'm doing good in his eyes. I hope he's proud of me...
I miss my old man...
You seem like a good person. Just know even though you didn't get to tell him you love him, he knows and is very proud of you working hard to support your family. I do the same as you bust my ass for mediocre pay but when I see my children happy and comfortable it is all the pay in the world.
Sorry for your loss bro. I know what it's like to lose someone close to your heart without being able to say goodbye, love you and will miss you heaps.😢❤
Lost my dad November 17th. 6 days before my youngest son turned a year old its still a rough go when it comes to that time of year
Rest in peace, I was born November 14th 2003? Thats odd, May he fly high with the angels and I pray that you're family lives a long and happy life together.
Respect
In the Marines, overseas right now. Wishing I was with my father right now. Soon enough.
kyle muller Thanks for your service. Semper Fi 🇺🇸
kyle muller much respect man, I got a brother in the marines. Hang in there bud, you'll be home in no time. And Thanks for your service!!
kyle muller. so proud of you
i am a mother to a Marine
there is nothen in this world that can ever take our children. Always love your Daddy and let nothen come between you two.
I sulte and prey you make it back solder
Salute to you my friend.
I never had a father... But I had a grandfather that was like my Dad and he was exactly like the dad in this song
My Grandpa stepped up when my Dad stepped out.
Then you had a great dad. :)
if u didn't have a father you wouldn't exist... you had a father, just never met him
Mine was too bud
Aaron Gordon my father never had a father either, me? It’s like I never had one until my mother divorced him because of his drinking but he is sober now and that doesn’t help it he is a complete asshole but he still try’s,
my Father passed away tragically in November 2018.
I had this song included in his memorial service , and have listened to it every single day since .
I've never had a song speak to me like this one has .
The "dusty overalls" and "callosed hands" , right to the "hope he's proud of who I am" , these lyrics described my Father ,and our relationship .
This song helps me get through the days
I understand what you’re going though. I also lost my dad tragically in November 2017. We played this at his memorial service.
I lost my dad On November 11th 2018 he was murdered
This is true country music
Jason Richardson it is true country
Hi
Jason Ficha tesón
Diego Diaz what you said. Idk Spanish
Jason Richardson i was about to say that or comment that but the first comment i saw was yours so i didnt have to say anything
Jason Richardson I couldn't agree with you anymore man!
My father passed away last month, and I have a one-year-old son with another on the way. This song REALLY hits home. It makes me both sad and happy at the same time.
They played this song at my grandpa’s funeral today..... at my mom and her brothers’ request.
It brings me comfort, actually.... because he’d sing it. :.)
Im just gonna sit here....for the rest of my life... listening to this
(my grandpa and I were really close.)
He misses you and I am sorry for your loss
The same exact thing happened to me , it hurts..
Me too, I still look up to him, even though he is gone. He showed what a true family man was and father. Love his kids no matter what life handed them. Not like my own father
I feel ya bro... I feel ya it's crazy bc my dad had this played at my grandpa's funeral last year I wasn't sure you it was at first but I heard it again today on Spotify and ik it sounds dumb but it made me cry me and my grandpa where really close to.
Me too brother.
i love my dad so much right now and sorry for the people that lost their dad. 😖
Yaretzi Bibian Treasure every moment with your dad. Mines passed away 2009 right before christmas and so the holidays are really tuff on my sister. I know we will be together again and that gives me peace because its a promise from Jehova God. That doesnt mean I dont miss him more and more every day. God Bless.
Sorry if you lossed your dad and we are all there for you
My grandad gone
This song makes me cry every time, it makes realize how much I love my dad
My greatest wish in life is. When I am gone my kids love and respect me like I did my Daddy.
WE NEED GOD IN ARE LIVES pls FOLOW GOD!!
One of the lessons my dad always used to say to me was, "Be a person your children would be proud of". To be honest, I'm very anxious whether I'd be able to become as great as my old man, I know in me that I'll never be as close to what he had achieved in his life, but I believe that I, and we all should, strive to become a person worthy to be our children's pride.
I’m crying so much😭honestly I was always told my dad didnt love me or want me.... but he does everything he can to provide for me. I love him so much... I can’t lose him😭my whole life I’ve been a daddy’s girl... to this day I still am. No matter how mad he makes me sometimes I love him😭❤️🤧
I understand where you are coming from im sending some friendly words continue to send love and guidance to a hurting world. I always tell my wife that shes a warrior of love. Be awesome take care
Thank you for going back to that classic ZBB sound! No pop crap, just smooth relaxing country.
CMT Productions 2017
CMT Productions 2017 dude not everyone love the same music as you. If you don't like pop music from nowadays, it's ok but nobody care. Is your fucking "opinion". Classic butt hurts saying "music of nowadays really sucks" bla bla bla. Fuck off.
i love this song
CMT Productions 2017 I mean, I like their pop crap too... why not both?

I lost my husband October 3, 2014 and I stood by him as he was slowly dying of Silicosis(Black Lung Disease). He was my everything and though he lost his faculties, OUR LOVE STAYED STRONG UNTIL THE VERY END!! I now grieve for him everyday and wish we went together, but I promised him I would stay and watch our grand babies grow and play. He said the night before he died that he wanted to box us all up and take us with him. My heart will never be the same again. 2 days before he passed away he asked me to take him out on our porch, as we got out there he said "Do you hear the doves?" we live on the farm where he was raised and we raised our children. He then sang to me "On the Wings of a Snow White Dove" and it was at that moment I knew he was going to Heaven soon. I so miss my night and shining Armour!! He was too young at 60 yrs old and I was too young at 46 yrs old to become a widow, I truly hate that word. I would rather say I am married, my husband awaits me on the other side. I wear my wedding rings still and his wedding ring size 16, I wear on a gold chain around my neck!! He was to us all :The Man, The Myth, The Legend!! 6'4" and was a gentle giant, never raised his voice at me or a hand, that right there is the definition of a REAL MAN!! I miss you Gary, more than words could ever say, I miss everything about you, your long gray hair and same with your beard, how I loved to brush your hair!!! I miss holding your huge hand in mine and telling you it was ok to let go, to be pain free, for Jesus will heal you as you enter Heaven, but please save a place for me!! I miss you MY LOVE.
Dad is getting a call this morning, you guys continue to blow me away with every Album. Thank you, God Bless.
Ain't it funny how I see this video pop up at just the right time? Right a I go through a rough patch with my father. This made me cry and almost nothing can do that. Thank you Zac Brown Band.
NerdyRdneckGamer I know how you feel. call him and tell him you love him, sometimes that's all that needs to be said. God bless.
My dad lost his old man 2 years ago it really hurt him everyday we talk about him all the good memories he died of cancer to the brain i miss him everyday love you bump if someone would like this it would really help
Your a strong young man nate dogg especially loosing two grandfather's 6 days apart.. always remember that they are always in your heart and watching over you... life is so short.. tomorrows never promised Ily luv mom
Nate. I lost not just my dad but also my mom six week pryer. The pain of death hurts still sense 2014. What helped me was the hope of the Resurrection hope. I am a few Jehovah's Witness. Lurned from the Bible there coming back. Please go to jw.org. open front page. Use search engine and look up hope for the dead. Look up scriptures in your bible or the on line Bible on jw.org. you will see the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones. Take care..Charles
I rarely ever talk to my old man, even tho I know damn well I should.
In fact, I haven't called him in over two years.
But today......I'm calling him. Hell, I'm gonna make it a point to visit him as much as I can this summer.
Go for it Cody, I wish I could. My Dad has been gone 35 years

Joey DeFrancesco I lost my dad in November too, I feel you❤️
It was one of those rare moments. I asked my dad about his dad (whom I had never seen) and it was the first time in my life that he spoke about him. I realised how much he loved his old man.

I had never heard of the Zac Brown Band, until about 5 min ago. Well they definitely got a new fan here. What an awesome song.
Chloe Laursen
Boys need to have a dad at home. Priceless to have a loving caring dad.
Dad teaches a son so much about the world. My dad prepared me for everything that matter. I am forever grateful. I am not worthy to be in his shadow. That is how great my old man was.
This song always gets me, it makes me realise how much i love my old man.
After my Dad's passing yesterday I finally understand how deep this song is, he sure was a giant and a great man he was never sad and were always smiling and joking around, I'm not ready to be a man I'm just 18 but I'll have to be
Papa help me take care of Mom I love you and will miss you forever
Beautiful song mate! Awesome tribute to all the fathers, who've sacrificed everything for their son(s). Cheers from Western Australia!
My dad Died to stage 4 lung Cancer and told me when I was young to always follow what I believe and never change my belief even if someone wants it to change. I miss you Dad
1969-2014
Such a heartfelt song! Could not stop my tears. I love you dad!
Gan Lao I cant stop crying too
Rest in peace dad

Its been 8 years since my dad passed and i still feel the pain as if it were yesterday. I was 16, so much of my life i would've loved for him to experience with me. Today's his birthday and i just miss him so so much.
Already can tell it's gonna be a good album
You guys are one of the best things that has ever happened to this earth
You would have been 63 today. Thirteen years still feels like yesterday, I miss you so much. Hope you’re still watching over me every day, all I ever want is to know you’re proud of the man you made.
Zac brown is unparalleled

To me, listening to Zac Brown Band's music is illustrating a story for his listeners to follow. His style and lyrics are a great mirror of his life that has been put to a sound we all know and love. I thank you for your amazing dedication to your work and your fans. You are the man who you strive to be.
I don’t understand how people can dislike this video!!!!
I don't either
its because they never had a dad
Right this about lossing your DAD but i guess some are not close to their dad's i was lucky i gotta be with him before he passed
Same here. This song and video are so good
A lot of people hate country music and it shows
One of the few songs that can make you cry every time you hear it. Love you, dad.
My Old Man was a Texas Firefighter for 30 yrs. He died age 62 in 1980. He taught us ,1 boy 5 girl's, about love and life. This song is Perfect from me to him. I will see him again..someday. 🌷Thanks Zac Brown Band for this beautiful song. So tenderhearted. ❤
Wow this song definitely hits home my dad is my hero and best friend ever !

I lost my dad 13 years ago and while we butted heads once in awhile, I knew I had his respect. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. In the 13 years since he went on his final journey, I never once broke down over him, but this song pulled that out of me hearing it for the first time tonight watching Austin City Limits. Miss you dad
I miss you Dad and Thank you for being a man of strong faith thank for everything you taught me your son
Amen
my mom dad and grandpal died and im only 14
Simply amazing! Thank you Zac Brown Band!
So this is different, ive always liked to listen to this song. Im 21 and it made me feel like theres other people out there in the world that has lost Fathers and are going through what eventually i would go through. Unfortunately, i have to attend as a Paul Bearer to my Dads Funeral in a few hours. its a sad day for me but i want everyone thats going through the loss of a loved one to know its going to be okay. they will still always be there for you even if theyre gone. and Fuck Cancer. God Bless.
ClementB sorry for your loss bro
I know how u feel srry man
Cancer is a b****, man. A lot of people in the comments here got to spend time with their dads, I didn't get that luxury; I lost him to cancer when I was 7. Sorry for your loss
You're right, homie. Fuck cancer. Took my dad too
Amen brother sorry for your loss if u need to talk in here for u
This song really gives you the feels. Especially when you have a father who has no interest in having a relationship with you. Who would rather spend money on you than spend time with you. Who has never wanted to bond with or build a relationship with his first born son. Who has never taught his son a damn thing. I swear to God I'll be a better father than him.
Nick Burnett my mans I feel you on that what you just said is exactly how it is with me and my dad I'm the first born what you just said is so real I can connect on how you feeling on some next level real shit I listen to this and thought of my grandfather because he's the only dad I know.... I just wish he want me in his life
Exactly what I have rn..... Feels man..... The feels.....
Hey nick I went through what you went through and it sucks but let me give you some advice, if you want to bond tell him how you feel if he truly loves you he would respect you not only has his son but has man to tell him the truth trust me my brother it works me and my pops have a bond because I told him the truth about how I feel and he respects me for it and I bet yours will too. Good luck and tell me how it goes ✌🏽
im so sorry your dad was like that towards you. mine was the same... we have no real relationship. he just paid for everything but never spent time with me while growing up... never once told me he loved me... always complains and judges me for all my decisions and choices in life.. now he is suffering from lymes disease, diabetes and the effrcts of it also hes in severe pain every waking moment but i forgive him. i love him still. he sacrificed a lot for us and his mom died when he was 7... i blame that event causing him to not be able to show emotions. but i know i dont want to marry that type of man when i become a wife someday. i want my childrens father to show and tell them he loves them everyday and support their achievements etc. i know you will be a great father someday.
NIck, Im in a simmilar situation to you.... my father wants nothing to do with me. I'm just now getting to hear this song, and I agree 100% about the feels...
can't wait for the whole album
Yesterday, my uncle put this is on his phone so everyone could listen to this at his funeral. My grandpa was truly my best friend and my father just absolutely loves this song now. I do have to say, it makes me cry every time I listen to this. My grandpa loved everyone. Colored, old, young, rude, and nice. He had over 400 people go to his wake and that just lets me know that, that many people loved him. I will miss my grandpa dearly..He has a long journey from cancer and i am glad he is no longer in pain. thank you for making this song.
You have outdone yourselves again gentlemen, outstanding!!
I miss you Dad!!! My Old Man!! January 1st will never be the same! My heart broke into a Million pieces!!! Love You Papa!!! 😢 I HATE CANCER!!!!!!
It's hard.Mine passed New Years Day from Pancreatic cancer.
My Dad passed away 5 years ago from cancer
I hate that word too, buddy :/
Mine passed away of July 4th. He was on a vent and his was wishes to have it out. Still doesn't make it easier. Miss him especially during hunting season
My father also passed away on January 1st from esophageal cancer. It's so hard.
I wish I could get just 5 more minutes with you.
I miss you so terribly much dad, I wish you didn't had to go to work that day, but thankful for the hug you gave me the day before you were killed.
I'll hug you again in 50 years.
I am 12 and besides God of course, my Dad is an idol to me. This makes me wanna cry holy crap and I'm a dude who doesn't cry despite losing almost all the skin off one side of my arm one time after falling off a skateboard, holy crap the tears are coming.
My dad is dying and this hits the heart man thank you Zac Brown Band!
Sorry but how can you not shed atleast one tear.
A wonderful video for a wonderful song. It really makes me miss my dad.
I wish you were still here to guide me in the right direction Dad. I miss you more than words can describe.
I haven't lost my dad yet but every time I hear this song I think of him and just sit down and cry cause I know that one day I'm gonna lose him and I'm going to miss having conversations with him so I just wanna say this now I love you Dad and keep doing what you do
Wonderful song. I wish i felt that way about my old man but i hope that this is how my children feel about me. Awesome song Zack
Damn ninjas cutting onions again. Beautiful song!
This is the only song that has ever made me tear up. Love you grandpa
The end when you can hear his voice crackle makes me cry even harder 😢 what a beautiful song!!!!
lali vasquez your very pretty😍😍😍💖💖💖
im 47 yrs old and cried like a baby when i heard this. love ya Dad see ya soon r.i.p. 2014.
macocwbyz72 at first I didn't quite understand but the more I listen to this song the more I started to cry
macocwbyz72 I'm 46 and I did the same.... I lost my Dad 13 years ago today. .....
i'm 54 tomorrow, and i lost my dad when i was 18...when i first heard this one i was driving on my way to work, and it hit me so hard i had to pull over and cry. good luck amigo, and i am sorry for your loss.
I lost my dad 5 years ago to suicide, this song reminds me of him so much and makes me cry everytime. Doesn't matter how long ago time will never erase his memory.
Man this song just hits you in the feels.
This song makes me cry for other reasons than most people. My dad has never really been a dad to us kids. He never knew his biological father and you wouldn't think that he would want to do the same thing to his kids that his father did to him but he did. This song is sad to me because of the father I always wanted and longed for but never had. That's OK though because I will be the absolute best father for my kids that they could ever have! It still hurts to this day and part of me wants to tell him I love him because he's still here but most of the time I feel he doesn't deserve that. He doesn't even come down to try to see his grandkids but that should not surprise me being that he never really took care of his own. This is a great song but it's the second part of the song on that means the most to me. I just hope that my son has the chance to do that someday because he was born with an illness and we're not sure how long we will have him for. Hopefully a long time...
Eric Jageman I feel you man. I'm in the same boat. But in the long run that's what will makes us great men and outstanding fathers. We will want to be the fathers we never had.
i love that u 'will treat your children better!' My GranPa shot&murdered my GranMa 'my Dad was 9 he spent 53 yrs. in Prison but day I got married My old Man forgave My OLD Granpa!' glad u enjoyed this song....both have gone to their rest! amen
please do Yourself&Your children a favor 'Go visit your Dad tell him "no mater U LOVE HIM" also tell him "He is WELCOME in Your Lives!" I will pray for U from today forward Bro your Sis Verily!
Eric Jageman - telling your dad you love him is not for your dad - it's for you. It's hard for some parents to give something they never had (love). Sometimes children have to teach parents how to love them, at any age.
Whether thru his actions or his in actions, he made you the man you are. If you are proud of yourself and who you've become then you owe that to him. Forgive him and show him how a man loves his family and it may just change both your worlds.
This is my dad he was my best friend work two job most his life taught me every thing i know he served in the army as a green beret during Vietnam. I lost him at the age of 63 on Sept 2nd 2017 to small cell lung cancer. He taught him how to be tough but no amount of toughness prepared me when i lost him. I remember when i was a kid he was a giant to me. When i became a adult I stood over him but still always was looking up to him.. I love u dad and miss you
My friend told me to listen to this song. I lost my dad to cancer on March 31, 2017 and this song really reminds me of him, my dad was my best friend and made me the young woman I am now
I love you dad and miss you so much
Sassypants306 I lost my dad in April to the big c so feel your pain and give u my condolences
Sassypants306 I'm sorry for your lost. I wish you the best
