He has another song called Watching you that he talks about his son too. And then he’s got one called Cleaning this gun that was my ring tone for my daughter!
My dad had his 3 sons follow in his footsteps and worked with him everyday and now my son is doing the same working with me. It is a very special thing to do this. I can not imagine anyone could be closer than we are.
Love this song! Another fun one that has his son in the official video is "Watching You" - Rodney co-wrote it, inspired by his young son Elijah getting in trouble at school because he'd been singing his dad's hit song (Rodney's first #1) "If You're Going Through Hell". Teacher's weren't happy about "hell" in the lyrics lol. And for a father-daughter dynamic, check out "Cleaning This Gun" I don't believe there's an official video, but there are some live versions out there.
Look up Rodney's history- given up for adoption by his teen mom, returned by two families because of his health problems, etc. It's nice to see someone that has had success and developed a good family after that start in life!
I'm a female but I followed in my father's footsteps. He had his own company selling seals to support the oilfield industry. I am now a Sr. Operations Manager for a company selling seals to the same industry and I've been with my company 21 years now. I lost my Dad 3 years ago and I sure do miss his wisdom but thankfully I learned so much from him.
Hello, I loved the video. This is one of my favorite Rodney Atkins songs. Another song of his that I love is Watching You. It's the cutest, you'll love it. God bless you and your family, sir 🙏
Rodney is my favorite artist and I'm so happy that you found him. This has been one of my favorites for a long time and I'm glad that other people feel the way I do about it. You can do almost any song by him and they all sound great. One of the deeper cuts that I like is "Family" or "Feet". I hope you give them a listen.
sometimes it's undeniable 🙂 In our small town we always heard "You're a Wainwright aren't you" .There was seven of us siblings and my parents couldn't deny who we belonged to 😂😂
I've never heard this one before! A sweet father and son song! I love the pictures of the fathers and sons together smiling with pride. I think in small towns (never lived in a city)and certain occupations this is still the case, only now not just between fathers and sons but with daughters/mothers as well. I know with firefighters and police and EMT/Paramedics many times it's a multi generation career choice. Many times it's the case with military service as well. I guess some of it is seeing the people around you do it every day and the pride they feel while they're doing it. I had my grandfather, uncles and cousins who were firefighters growing up.
As Mom to 2 boys, this song pulls at my heart. Flashes of long ago. His song, "Watching You" will require a kleenex. Great tune, with great melody. Great reaction Craig. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I sort of followed in my dad's footsteps. He was a software engineer and so am I, though we are in completely different areas of it. I did learn to think like an engineer at a young age, which definitely influenced my career. On the other hand, neither of my sisters went into a remotely related field, though one concidered it.
There will be a time where you say that ones mine, for good and bad reasons 😂 I remember my dad listening to a neighbor explain what we had done and just saying "is that right" it took everything to hold back laughing.
Thomas Rhett's dad is Rhett Akins....he was named after his dad....Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. He dropped the Akins in his stage name so he could make it on his own...
I miss your lead in remarks. Did you get criticized for them? I disagree! If you need cheer up songs, check out Braid Paisley I'm Still a Guy and Alan Jackson Who's Cheating Who. Two of your favorites, and mine.
Hi, There has been no criticising, I’m just trying to see if a change in format has an effect on the channel!! The YT analytics show a good number of people drop out during the introduction which isn’t great for the video being pushed out to new people!
He has another song called Watching you that he talks about his son too. And then he’s got one called Cleaning this gun that was my ring tone for my daughter!
I second the song Watching You and Cleaning This Gun.
Watching You is definitely a must watch for a boy dad!!
Watching you is my favorite!
I love Watching you!❤
My favorites by him are Cleaning This Gun, Take a Back road, and These Are My People.
I’ve been watching you, is my favorite.
This song is special to me. It is the song I share with the young man who became my son when he was 15. I'll claim him every time.
Listen to “Watching You” by this guy-Every Father Should!
'Watching you' is about his son when he is little & it's great. I also love the 'Farmer's daughter' which is awesome as well.

I love Cleaning this gun and watching you both are great songs. Definitely need to be added to your list.

Love this song!! My mom dedicated this song to me!!

Yeah. Rodney Atkins made me a fan with his song Watching You.
I've never heard this one before!
A sweet father and son song!

Love this song❤️
Another awesome Father/Son song is Seeing My Father In Me by Paul Overstreet
As a mom of boys, I love this song.
My son sent this me about his son when it first came out! Love it!❤

Love this song. I don’t have kids but reminds me of my best friend and his boys. For a more sappy song like this, Brad paisleys anything like me
Watching You, Cleaning this Gun, and If You’re Going thru Hell, are a few of Rodney’s songs.
Oh Niiice reaction, 1st time I heard it too, cool song.
I sort of followed in my dad's footsteps. He was a software engineer and so am I, though we are in completely different areas of it.

I'd never heard this song! It's great ☺️ I have my only 10-year-old son. 💖🦋
There will be a time where you say that ones mine, for good and bad reasons 😂 I remember my dad listening to a neighbor explain what we had done and just saying "is that right" it took everything to hold back laughing.
Great vocals and message.
Check out his song “ If Your Going Through He’ll”
Great song. One I hadn't heard before. You HAVE to check out Watching You!
I would recommend "Watching You" another father son song and "The River Just Knows" which is veteran related
As a mom of 2 boys, I love this song so much
You must react to I've been watching you by Rodney
FYI = Rodney Atkins is Country singer Thomas Rhett's Father ♥
Thomas Rhett's dad is Rhett Akins....he was named after his dad....Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. He dropped the Akins in his stage name so he could make it on his own...
Here’s someone I think you’d like. Jerrod Niemann has some good songs and a great voice. Check out “ Lover Lover” and “ One More Drinkin Song”
Cleaning this gun by Rodney Atkins
If You’re Going Through Hell - Rodney Adkins
If you want a song that will make you think of your kids check out Matthew West featuring Granger Smith song " Greatest Hits" it's about their kids .
Rodney has a lot of great songs
Cleaning this gub
If your going through hell
Watching you
Just another great rabbit hole for you to jump into.
In American football, the kicker is almost always the smallest and weakest player on the team. The son in this story stood up for him teammate.
