I had a great upbringing, my dad was and still is a great dad. I try and be a good dad to my son. I know too many kids grow up with absent or shitty dad's and mom's. My heart goes out to any kid in difficulty. Great Song !!
goodness gracious my man, Austin. I normally expect some snark and some struggles about showbiz but damn you almost had me cuttin onions right there. I was not expecting that. Love ya brother.
Buddy, I’m glad you did not record this song in a studio. I just saw your short about this song, climbing the charts and proving your dad wrong. Reason I say, I’m glad this in the studio song, I feel like it would hid your true potential! You can feel the pain in your voice. Keep it up man. Keep proving that fucker wrong.
I'm sending my son this song to listen to... I've got so many memories of my boy waiting on him to come and pick him up and never showing. My son still deep in his heart wants nothing but his father's love. 😢 but his father will never be what he needs😢
I feel for you brother. My dad was only in the picture when he thought it would hurt my mother. He passed a few years ago and everyone couldn’t understand why I didn’t morn when he died. I mourned 60 years age. That’s when he died in my heart.
My sperm donor contacted me after 35 years this song is perfect he told me he would be there that next weekend then begged my step dad to adopt me this hits home hard such a beautiful song
I never heard my father say, I love you til I was about 40 years old. I make sure my now grown kids hear it from me every day. I'm a better man for it I guess.
Hey, thanks for your views on life. I was blessed, but this was POWERFUL. Keep it up and at the same time let it go, because it's better to enjoy the highs.
thankfully i was blessed with good parents. they did eventually split up but my dad was there for me when its most important. sorry for anyone who wasnt as fortunate
Stay strong fam, wish you all the best and hope this gets you some peace in this battle brother! Don't know you at all but can sense you already won your already a better man stay blessed always!
I grew up without a dad and a very abusive mom. I have 2 kids now that I am trying my best to raise but it’s hard because I never grew up without love so I struggle with my now 15 year old son. But we still say I love you every night before bed. I couldn’t imagine a life without my kids. My son has lived with me full time since he was 8. And I am the father I never had, but I am still hard on him because I want him to be successful in anything he puts his mind to… But thank you for this song!
Sometimes, it's best not to have a dad. I had one until I was 14. I still really wish I hadn't. I was told he died last year. I really feel like the world is a better place without him in it.
Same. That low life put me in hospital more than once. Broken bones, rearranged my teeth, and the Doctors in the early 80's did absolutely nothing about it. Cps never came, not once. I'm 48 now, he's 81. Still don't have much to do with him. I might find out when he dies. Might not too
@craftykez I wouldn't have known mine was gone. If it wasn't that, my mom got his social security and survivor benefits. I have seizures, and I'm looking at surgery to fix the fact that my brain is coming out of the bottom of my skull from being hit so many times as a child. I'm 47 now, and I'm just happy he is gone. So believe me I understand what you deal with.
This hits so close to home, one with my biological father being out of my life for most of my life, and also with my stepfather who was abusive. God I almost cried like how “Cats in the Cradle” makes me cry since that song reminds me of my biological dad

Came here from tik tok to specifically subscribe. This song helps heal a lot of hurt in me and my husband as well.( I later had a dad who adopted me and his father was an alcoholic ) We’re here to see this blow up so your sperm daddy has a bit of bitter medicine that can’t go unswallowed. You’re already a better man and thats the part he can’t stand the fact that he can’t just be proud of you says all any of us need to know
This song really hits me hard . My Grandkids Dad walked out on them three days before Christmas in 2020 because of hard drugs . My youngest granddaughter watched as he walked down the street and told me daddy was running away . This weekend was the first time they've seen him since he left .😢
My youngest son sent this to me, because he can relate to it. I'm requesting you write a song to the Mommas that took care of that Lil boy or in my case, boys. Thank you
I saw you on Facebook talking about your sperm donor, that's what I have too. He says that we're (his entire family) are the ones to blame for all the misery in his life. When he left I too blamed my mother and was rotten to her until I grew up and saw the truth. I cannot apologize to her enough. That's been nearly 50 years ago. We have been much better people without him. Glad you found your way too. I wish you all the best in your future.
My story man, my birth father never came around after they divorced. But his family were very cruel to me, especially his sister for calling me a bastard child on the phone at 5 years old. Im glad my mom remarried and i got to changed my last name. But i heard that SOB died over a year ago during the Christmas holidays. I was sad, But what got me upset was i never got to tell that man how i really felt about him. I was a year old when he left. But my mom met a great guy years later and he adopted me and I was able to change my last name. My stepfather/ dad was like the song from Brad Paisley-the man he didnt have to be.
My dad lived 15 minutes from me my whole life. Never contacted me once. Now he’s holed up in a crack den. I tell people he’s unalived because it’s easier to explain than him being alive and choosing women and drugs.
I had a great upbringing, my dad was and still is a great dad. I try and be a good dad to my son.

Man the missing paint really hit home for me, thanks for this song Brother, Ill share this song for ya, It deserves to go viral.
I'm sending my son this song to listen to... I've got so many memories of my boy waiting on him to come and pick him up and never showing. My son still deep in his heart wants nothing but his father's love. 😢 but his father will never be what he needs😢

THANK YOU! As a mom that raised 2 girls on her own, I thank you!
all the feelings a child (son or daughter) has always wanted to say, you are amazing! 🦝❤
This one cut deep I feel every word was all to real
My sperm donor contacted me after 35 years this song is perfect he told me he would be there that next weekend then begged my step dad to adopt me this hits home hard such a beautiful song
You got this. Be proud of where you are headed, especially with those precious babies
I never heard my father say, I love you til I was about 40 years old. I make sure my now grown kids hear it from me every day. I'm a better man for it I guess.
I saw your video on Facebook reels. I love the tune, the lyrics, and the performance!
Hey, thanks for your views on life. I was blessed, but this was POWERFUL. Keep it up and at the same time let it go, because it's better to enjoy the highs.
Such a very profound song!...Well done...🙏💜✨
My father has lived 5 miles from me my whole life and has never had anything to do with me for 32 years. I feel this song 100%
thankfully i was blessed with good parents. they did eventually split up but my dad was there for me when its most important. sorry for anyone who wasnt as fortunate

But thank you for this song!
I had a great father, but he had a lot of demons and I was made to learn from his mistakes.
This hits home on so many levels.
Bravo dude 👏
Sometimes it's a blessing they aren't around but you don't know that when you are a child.. Keep playing and singing... you've got stories to share !!
This is the one , I hope this guy blows up , this is a beautiful song and I can relate, and I can only imagine how many people can too

My neighbor just shared your story and songs with my son and myself and we love you. We are now filling you
Wow….this is beautifully heartfelt!! That’s powerful. Bless you!!
There’s a lot of emotion behind that.
I’m glad this is hitting i tunes. You just keep moving up.

Can’t wait for this one to hit Spotify❤

❤❤❤❤
My Dad was my best friend & #1 cheerleader.. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience this
My son's biological so-called father walked out of his life. When my son needed his dad, the most S.O.B. said he didn't want our son now or ever.
Well done!
From the heart❤
I want to send this to my husband … don’t know if it’ll help or hurt him though.
You'll be a wonderful dad yourself and break the cycle. Show your own Father how to be a Dad.
Thank you!
My dad lived 15 minutes from me my whole life. Never contacted me once. Now he’s holed up in a crack den. I tell people he’s unalived because it’s easier to explain than him being alive and choosing women and drugs.
❤❤❤❤❤
Is this "Travis Picking" ?
💗
I’m sure alcohol has a lot to do with all these guys being dead beat dads.
It’s the #1 destroyer of lives and family’s.
DAMN~! ❤👍🏻
Post one with Lyrics PLEASE~! ❤
The lyrics are on the screen 😂
💛🖤🤘🤘
My boys lost their Dad last Oct... this song hits so hard... he was a real p.o.s....
Man what a piece of poo for a person to abuse and bully your own kids, not raise em, not teach em anything … thats the low of the low
Say it while u have the chance
