  • My dad retired from the lead mechanic at a school bus garage about 3 years ago. he is now 60 years old. He always woke up at around 4:00 to make sure that i got to school ok. He worked for 29 straight years in the same garage. He suffered from nerve damage in his back and his toes. He is the strongest man I know. Even though he's retired he still wakes up at around 5:00 to make sure I get to school ok. He still works hard to keep the vehicles runnin with no charge. God Bless you dad. i love you.

  • This song is a prefect summary of the american dream we hard working americans live every day. Bust your ass, be the best man you can and most importantly provide for your family.

  • this is a really good song, i quit school and went to work and now me and my fiance have been goin through some hard times, we just had a son that was born when he was only 28 weeks, between workin and drivin to the hospital everyday for 2 months, its hard but the more i think bout that little man the harder i work, i live in wv and i work buildin shuttle cars, feeders, and all machanic work on them, for the coal mines, i like to come home and listen to this and set with my lil man

  • This song reminds me of my husband. My babe works in the oilfields for weeks at a time. He works so hard to make sure we have everything we need. His hard work allows me to stay home and focus on finishing my education without having to work. I will never be able to express how much I appreciate how hard he works to keep us a float. We don't have any kids yet, but I know he will be a great father when the time comes.

  • He can sing sooo goooood ... iSeen him in concert last night.

  • max4mossberg said " I work for a steel erection company as a welder. " lolz if you cant see that, reread it a few times....

  • @PreocupiedDustin1985

    let me tell you something buddy, if you walked in my muddy, worn out boots and my greasy torn jeans and shirt, you'd appreciate that statement. not laugh at it. people like me are the people that build the buildings that you sit in everyday and sit in your climate controlled offices and try to find humor in something that was not meant to be dirty. if you cant see this, reread it a few times. maybe you'll understand it.

  • this song really means alot to me know cause im going to be a daddy to my first child and i work as a temo at the local factor as a welder building trailors for the oilfield and my wife said it describes me i love this song

  • This isnt a Canadian stand up...this is just awful :0

  • miss my family man right now :( hes a welder workin 5pm to 6am miss you babe!

  • this is my dad in a nut shell

    he lost his job and now he works for SHIT pay but he does it for us if i worked for the pay he get id quit he is the perfect role model for any one i hope i become half the man he is

  • This describes my father. He lost his job when the recession hit. Now he works part times on Weekend nights. It is tough, but he does his best for us all. I could not have asked for a better role model in my life.

  • It sounds exactly like Justin Moore's song, "If Heaven Wasnt so far away"

  • I just want to say that my husband is a great family man and will do whatever he has to for his family.....and that's one of the MANY REASONS WE LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Edgar Gomez we love you dearly!!!! Love always your wife Angela and Kids!!!!

  • Until a few days ago, I thought this song was just OK. Then, on Friday, I learned I'm going to be a father.

    This song really gets to me now.

  • @logancadams

    Congrats on the baby!

  • @logancadams Congratulations. There's nothing like being a dad. The first time I held my only daughter, she looked at me with her left eye open and the other one closed, and my heart melted. The feeling is indescribable. Again, congratulations!

  • Looks like Chris Young at 2:19

  • reminds me of my daddy

    he is such a good father,husband,and hardworker

  • Real loving family. Most beautiful thing in a whole world.

  • This song reminds me of my dad. He has been a crane operator all of his adult life. He is now 60 years old and still gets up at 4:30 every morning and goes to work. I would have to say that my dad is an all american man. Small town man that supports and loves his family. Im 22 years old now and i followed in his footsteps. I work for a steel erection company as a welder. my wife supports me every step of the way. Thank you dad for everything that you have taught me. God bless you. I love you dad

  • 31 people obviously dont know what the american dream is or love their family or they're deaf cause craig campbell does a good job singing it

  • for a temp worker he has a nice house and a pretty wife

  • @mudbogging816 what does being a temp worker gotta do with having a pretty wife?? not a damn thing its how you treat them and you still gotta have looks unless your a old billionaire ohh and a real man would would do anything to support his family even if that meant being a temp women think real men are attractive

  • this is the perfect song for my hunny!! hes the "ideal" husband & a great daddy <3holli

  • true american heros..... military.. the working man.. police.. fire fighters... emt.. these are the people we need... the ones who make this country great

  • i know puerto rican cats from the bronx aren't supposed to like country yeah yeah whatever this song is real life. I drive a truck and deliver dumb shit all day every day I hate it but hey it feeds my kids and pays the bills. Hope my little ones never know about that kinda shit. Hope they have good jobs that make them feel good and pay big $.

  • I read somewhere that they played this Country Music Song on "True Blood." :)

  • @kalmanizer They did.

  • Cool story, bro.

  • For a guy who works as a temp at a factory, he sure has a damn nice house!

  • MY DAD WAS NOT ANY BENIFIT TO ME WEN I WAS LITTLE .I CANT KEEP UP WIT BILLS ALL THE TIME ALWAS LATE BUT ONE THING THAT WILL ALWAS B A GOOD FATHER TO MY GIRLS

  • good for you bo

  • 31 people know and dont like the struggle

  • CRAIG WAS AMAZING AT REDNECK YACHT CLUB TY FOR COMING OUT TO KEEP THE PARTY GOING ALL NIGHT LONG CANT W8 TO SEE U AT THE TOP GOOD LUCK

  • i know how this. my dad was a farmer till i was about 13. we were dirt floor poor but always had food and a roof over our heads. He has been the biggest part of my life besides my loving wife. I work in a factory for next to nothin but make sure i get up everyday to support her and our soon to be son. I just hope people realize you dont have to be rich to have a good life. your family love and a place to call home is all you need.

  • i cant beleve i met him his daughters in this vid is cute

  • dislike bar is invisible thats rare :D

  • my dad was a farmer all his life and wasn't always able to spend time with me and my sister but he made sure we had food in our stomachs and when we were older, cars to get us from a to b. He is who taught me that nothing is given to you it is only through hard work and dedication you'll get anything in life

    Thanks Dad for everything

  • It's a heartbreaking and heatwarming song. A good family man - heartwarming, The opening lines make me think of how many families are going through hard financial times right now and how must hurt the breadwinners that they can't provide like they want to - heatbreaking

  • man who is that girls she is gorgeous

  • Sacrifice... Im 20 years old going into the marines, Ive never had a dad in my life but my moms Ex boyfriend is the man i call dad. hes always taught that sacrifice is what makes a man. and i promise one day when i have a son of my own and a family Ill sacrifice whatever i have to to be the man that my father wasnt.

  • this song reminds me of my daddy(: i love you daddy<3

  • I am forever indebted to my mother. She raised me and my brother all by herself, and we turned out decent, I think. My father did teach me my southern courtesy and manners with a belt (which I do not blame him at all for using, and I was not beaten, I was spanked when I deserved it [and we were often wild as hell]). But he and mom divorced when we were two years old, and he moved out of the country when we were 12. Momma did the rest for us. =-) I still respect and love dad. -Momma's boy

  • Go home and be a family man

  • My 15 year old son is singing this for his High School talent show. Wish him luck:)

  • @ledouxcountryboy32 hey bud, I'm the guy from the video. Good luck to your son. I hope he wins 1st place.

  • My dad for the past 6 years has got up at 430 in the morning to be at work by 5 and doesnt get home till 5 or later and doesnt complain once, my sister is on a very good softball team and we are by no means rich, my dad simply took a few more hours my mom wanted to go to college, my dad made it happen by saying when you go full time ill get a seocnd job, and for me well lets just say i try to do my best to help with mymoms choice, MY DAD is the reason i can listen to this song and be happy

  • 30 people will never feel the warmth of a woman's love or hear the laughter of a child's voice in their home.

  • when i first heard this song I was with my grandfather. once I listened to this more my dad heard it and at my grandfathers funeral we played this song. My dad loves this song and it reminds him of my grandfather. I played this on fathers day for my dad and told him just being a father is enough for me. I love you dad and grandfather. <3

  • Cherry this is you and Cal.

  • I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert at the State fair of Viginia, He is one truely talented singer him and his band are a true delight :D

  • I just quit my Temp Job because they were going to make me pay for Forced Advertisement wanted me to pay for their shirt after working fpr them for 14 months.I refuse to pay one red cent for their advertisement.Enjoyed Da Listen.Love it.Your You Tube Bro.(~;Yrral Mallik of Songramp AKA Larry Gordon Killam of Facebook Group Songwriters Unite.Over 1800 members~;)

  • my dads never been around my uncle is my dad he signed for my birth certificate hes a gunnery sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps. I hope grow into be half the dad he didnt have to be.

  • he looks like chris cagle!!!

  • My band may be opening for a show of his in December and this is the first time I've listened to him. I'm a lucky duck.

  • 30 people don't like their families. I just want them to know that things will get better. The worse your life is the more likely it is that your life will bounce back. I don't care if you don't believe this next statement or not but I believe and live by the fact that God loves you and he has huge plans for your life. Even if your life just flat out sucks right now, it can and almost always will get better.

  • When the times get bad you find out what people are really made of. Its too bad in some situations its your wife.

  • this is two years after he went 'fishin'

    ;)

  • God bless men who think this way. lol Just god bless them. You are true, genuine men. <3

  • I work 7 days a week 4pm to 12am in a heat treating shop so my family can live decent and my wife is leaving me because we hardly ever get to spend time to together thanks alot wife.

  • @crazyguy1488 wow sorry to hear

  • @crazyguy1488 I know the feeling man my wife left me when I got laid off from my job... Showed what she was like

  • When I heard this song last week while I was working, (I'm a truck driver) I had to pull the truck over because I was crying. This song talks so much about my dad and I. My dad while I was growing up worked on a farm putting in long hours all the time, and dad went without a lot of things for himself for my mom, my brothers and I. It also makes me think of myself, I've been working some very LONG hours at work myself for my family and I've done without so they could have food and a home.

  • sometimes a man makes mistakes in life. A talented singer comes along and writes a song that touches your soul. Dont let your wife and kids out of your sight. They are what make you a man, not your goals or achievements. Nothing is more important then your family when you have done everything wrong.

  • This song reminds me of my father and my husband. I appreciate all they have done and i am so blessed to have two wonderful men in my life.

  • 30 people know they wont be a family man wen they grow or they aint. going arnd chasing everyfin in skirt and making babies everywhere stupid. Like it and be a family man. #word

  • This song is like my theme song. I work in a factory for shit pay and its hard knowing that I cant afford to buy my lil boys everythiing they want and need but they still love me all the same and thats the reason I get up everyday and work for that shit pay because at least they have a roof over their heads and food in their belly. they are my whole world and ill never stop workin to keep them safe.

  • @SpringsPimpin Fortunately, lasting happiness isn't in material possessions and your boys will respect you for working hard to take care of them. You are teaching them what it means to be a great father. God bless you.

  • @SpringsPimpin I know what you're going through. I worked at a tire factory for $10/hr with no benefits, 1 month after my wife and I got married. Back breaking work, little pay, no benefits, but it put food on our table. God bless you. There needs to be more parents like you!

  • This song reminds me of my dad. My dad has always worked hard to support me my mom and my sister. He's been a welder all his life but he has always made sure we had everything we needed. My dad is a great man. He's always done the best he could for us.

  • This song is sweet but there is still a sadness to it. I like to think of it as a part one to "I hope they get to me in time" It is also a very touching song.

  • This man is a rising star, he'll be one to set some records! He's got an amazing voice and shows he loves what he does. I went and seen him in Louisa, I was so excited. I've watched him on GAC & CMT and always hoped I'd get to meet him and I did! Best thing about it is, I got a picture, I know he ook several so he'll never remember but that's a memory to be forever lasting in my world! :) I love you Craig Campbell!!!! <3

  • @ChelseaBrad1331 Several* my bad :)

  • @ChelseaBrad1331 Took* my bad :)

  • 3 1/17th

  • @gabbsvw You are so right i never had my father growing up and this song describes what i try to do everyday for my daughter because of that. I am a soldier in the united states army. I have to leave her for tours sometimes but i always let her know daddy loves her and misses her when he is gone. I am not with her mother now and she keeps her when i am over sees. But i still make sure my world revolves around her. And this is by far the most important song to me.

  • @justindean229 This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you sir, very much for what you do for our beautiful country. May God bless you and your daughter.

  • sorry replay button but you just got RAPED!!!

  • This song never fails to bring me to tears. My significant other is in Afghanistan right now as a contractor helping the military maintain their computers. This song I can say from my heart is dedicated to him. He has made sacrifices above and beyond as a man to provide for his family and I love him with all my heart for that. He is and will always be me and our children's "Family Man"

  • this is a real song not some rap shit about dropping your ass low or some shit this is why i love country music the storys!

  • this makes me think of my dad, he busts his ass not just for me and my family but for my grandparents and his sister. he always says your gunna miss me when im gone, and i always say with a tear in my eye and a smile and say without a doubt. love you dude,

  • This never fails to make me think about my Dad. He isn't perfect but he does what he has to do so that we have whatever we need!

  • this song makes me think of my dad, he busts his ass for me and my family

  • very good song a very good voice singing it

  • HE'S COMIN TO RADFORD BIDDIES!

  • This song reminds me of my dad. I love you daddy <3 Thanks for being a family man.

  • One day the LORD wil bless me with a cowboy who loves and fears GOD like I do I will be praying 2 meet him soon very very soon my faith is in the LORD!

  • AMERICA!!!....wheres guile?

  • I strive to be this kind of man

  • i saw this guy live a couple days ago. hes awesome

  • I have a husband that means the world to me. I love this song. My Sweetheart is more than a family man, hes the King of My Heart. 

  • Such a chill and down to earth song. 

  • I just saw him play at the Union Fair last night and this was one oof the last two songs he played. This song brought me to tears and I just hope I can find a man like this some day.

  • i feel the same way chris. my husband is one of the greatest men ive ever the pleasure of being with . hes my rock my everything . and one hell of a daddy ! love him with everything in my being

  • Looks like Billy Mays if u pause it at :24

  • I never comment on videos but my brother had me listen to this. While I'm only 20 and don't have a family I've helped my father every single summer working construction and doing side jobs while all my other friends go to the beach, I drive a 175k mile car, and work every day I don't have college classes while paying for my own schooling. A lot of my friends don't understand because I'm from Long Island not too many country folk round here and basically they get everything given to them.

  • Comment removed

  • @AudaciousX7 you deserve to have a big happy family in the future ;-;

  • I love this song...

  • this song is the story of my life i just had a new baby girl born and a 2 year old and yhey are the only reason why i bust my butt at the town factory for 8 $ an hour there mother is the best women you could ever dream of and get this im only 18 and just graduated ad am putting off collage to make a living i was never given anything in my life and it pisses me off to see young kids who pawn there children off on there mothers so they can do as they plez

  • This is the story of my life, workin as a temp, livin simple...Dont get any better then this!!!

  • He is playin at the barbour county fair this year

  • This song makes me wanna do wht i can for my family and my kids im 21 years old and always wanted to do wht is right for my family i work hard to do my best and support my wife and my 2 girls i try everyday and they love me for wht i do for them.

  • This deserves way more views than any lady gaga video

  • @pinkhotchoco I totally agree, and I think father's like what he describes in this song need to be lifted up and honored! Instead of vilified like so many people do with dad's today. I believe a GOOD DAD is VERY important in a childs life.  And in many homes, those good DAD's are missing.

  • @pinkhotchoco I cannot like this comment enough, this song has suck a powerful message.

  • @gabbsvw then don't fall for the idiots that most teenage girls do these days. Im 19 and can't stand most teenagers. I respect what you say tho.

  • i love this, but im still single.

  • and can actually bait thier own hook lol do u know theres guys that wont bigger lol

  • the video is wonderful Lee u did great

  • @HotAss1andonly Thank you. I enjoyed doing it.

  • My biological dad isn't around and when I was 6 my mom fell in love with a man that was very abusive and we put up with that for 10 years. At 16 now I try not to let my dad's choices affect me...but one thing I've learned it that when I have kids ( a long time from now once I'm through with my masters degree) is that I want them to have a dad, the dad I never had, or got to know. One that will work hard and love me and his children. I want a family man.

  • @gabbsvw This brought tears to my eyes . Goodluck !

  • @gabbsvw its good to hear someone else in this world still believes in family!:)

  • @gabbsvw u r so right my greatpapa died when i was 2

  • @gabbsvw You da man!!

  • i would love to fish with that woman

  • i saw this guy last night he was great opened of lady antebelum

  • How the hell can you not like this song? Craig Campbell is awesome and his baby loves to f...ish!

  • This song reminds me of my husband. He doesn't work in a factory, but he works very hard everyday for the kids and I. He has been working over in Afghanistan and never complains about his job, the heat or anything. He works his butt off and provides extremely well for us. We miss him and love him more everyday for the man he is and the man he is becoming. A real family man!! God has blessed the kids and I with a wonderful man. We pray everyday that he comes home soon for good! We love you David!

  • this song reminds me of my dad everytime i listen to it he works so hard to provide for the family and even when my mom left us he work so hard to provide for the three kids she left with him and i havent ever thanked him for bein there when my mom wasnt...I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!

  • I really love this song. It has a story to it. It makes me wonder when ever i get married is if that my husband knows what exactly to do. This song makes me cry.

  • 2 people must be gay

  • 2 people must suck dick

  • 4 people have never fished with a girl

  • awesome song....i never heard of this guy, glad i stumbled across this

  • @FiLninja Wow yea, I'm sure an email would have been more fit. Or maybe a text from one of those fancy Android phones? lol please...

  • 29 Monkeys thought they could dislike this song because they don't know shit about supporting a family only how to work the government for free housing free food. I guess they give them money for rims and stereos too. Good ass song though

  • @TheBillyc73 You're a racist bastard you know that?

  • @TheBillyc73 or maybe its the white trash racist hillbillys that live off the goverment to? like yourself

  • i dont see why any country music video isnt the most watched video on youtube.

  • I love this song. The first time I heard it I fell in love with it. This a song that men should paid close attention to. It tell very heart-warming story.

  • go home and be a family man

  • He is probably one of the few country artists I can respect these days. Dont flame me but I remember hearing somewhere that this wasnt his song(not saying it isnt) but even if it isnt it takes alot of guts to play songs like this nowadays. It makes me think of Murder on Music Row but its one of those few exceptions about new country. I dont have a family yet but I know when I do I will be doing everything In my power even if it means working 3 jobs to support it and make my kids lives better.

  • billy mays ftw

  • Its songs like this that I can't wait to start a family of my own!

  • If you disliked this song its like Draco1413 said because we're from the country and i know some people who live in the city who work their ass off and they dont make what they deserve. The little dime they make doesnt mean anything compared to their family and thats what we live for, is our FAMILY! And another thing letters are cheaper than phone FiLninja!

  • Who writes letters nowdays anyway? This isn't 1889.

  • @FiLninja Letters are more meaningful than a phone call, I highly doubt you have a girlfriend but if you do try suprising her with a note when she wakes up in the morning. Her reaction is why you still write letters/notes.

  • His name is spelled wrong above the video on the little tag thing.. Fail.

  • This song reminds me of my daddy... :)

  • i love gettin up to go to go to work every morning nowing that my family will have a healthy place to live.

  • this reminds me of my dad

  • I hadn't heard this until I just read the story in the Fargo Forum about how Craig Campbell gave away a year's rent to a family man in ND. I'm a fan now!

  • this song makes me cry now every time i hear it...this song discribed me in everyway...but my son passed away of sids a month ago he was only 3 months old and he was the reason why i went to work and got up every mourning....i love you little boogie butt....):

  • @lildudeman19 I'm so sorry for your loss :(

    Boogie butt was my daughter's nickname when she was a baby. When she was learning to stand on her own, she'd pull herself up, and hold on to the coffee table while shaking her butt, lol.

  • This song will speak true to the real fathers out there. There are a lot of people that like to call themselves fathers who never had the right to have kids in the first place. This song speaks true to me, I work in the oil field and don't get home a lot to see my family.What i do is for them. Even though I had a good life, I want my kids to have a better one. Great song!

  • i absolutely love this song!!!! :)

  • My uncle is a family man since he was 12 taking care of his mom his dad his 2 brothers. He's taught me alot and I didn't have him I wouldn't be living the life I live....

  • Amazing! I think of my dad everytime I hear this! Always brings tears! Love you Dad!!

  • Criag Campbell is the man and cant wait to see him at Jambo 2011

  • Its how many times does 17 go in to 52....not 7

  • how could u not cry during this video.....
