  • This is me and my daddy's song even though i am a girl i am not a son lol :) i love you daddy my parents got divorced when i was like 1 or 2 and we always have to meet half way and sometimes when i miss him i listen to this song i love him so much :) LOVE YOU!!!!

  • are you listening to the words????? i dnt think she will want to get married to this song lol. listen to it again

  • i really like this song it reminds me of my ex and our 2 kids

  • I wish he was my father. This song makes me wanna cry.

  • Likey

  • Driving halfway to VA tomorrow to pickup my son.. Song hits home. Love you Ryan!~ Someday you'll understand

  • people might hate me for saying this but i think some comments that people say are just bullshit they jst wanna get thumbs up but with all due respect some are real and y r people posting sad things on this vedio this shit looks like a depressed vedio or sumthing y cant people say something happy like yea i heard this song andddddddddddd it makes me happy cause i no that there r other kids going through something like this yay im not along

  • @sasquathrocks I'm not surprised you don't understand. You can't even spell, we can't expect you to understand complex emotions.

  • @4cellar2door0 its called abriviating duuuu or how ever u spell it

  • @sasquathrocks Until you have truly gone through a tough time in your life like some of these people you will never understand why they don't post happy things. Perhaps posting what's on there mind is there way of reaching out for some support, perhaps its there way of expressing how they feel.

    Don't be such a jerk! Post something happy like me! :)

  • @WorldWideOutdoors dude -_- you dont even know me and your saying i havent gone throught shit like this my dad went away to mexico wen i was around 8 or 9 he wasent ther for my graduation for 6th grade i thought of him as a dick and a bitch and he didnt come back tell 8th grade and when he did he was skinny as fuck from walking 3 days through the dessert crossing the border from mexico to america and when i saw him i payed NO attencion to him cause i though he abandonded me

  • @WorldWideOutdoors my mom worked day and night jst to keep a roof over are head and now im in 9th grade and yes i did forgive my dad cause i didnt know he went to mexico to see his dad that died

    no im not lieng and ive had worse like attempeted murder on me from my aunt

    p.s. agian im not lieng it may sound like a lie but its not believe wat u want

  • This song means ALOT to me, i listen to it everyday. My dad wasnt around alot when i was growing up and he's still not around alot. He's not a truck driver but he works for the township and on the farm alot so his whole job is still basically driving. I know if he had a choice, he wouldnt work a single day, he'd spend all his time trying to make it up to me for not being around. I love my dad, hes the hunter, farmer, country dad you always hear about. and I'm his little girl. and I'm proudof tht

  • @11LFitzgerald This song is sung through his fathers eyes. Whether it is true or not, it's about his mom and dad getting divorced when he (Zac) is at a young age and his dad having to go though the difficulties of maintaining a relationship with his son that he never sees.

  • @11LFitzgerald11 This video is sung through his dads eyes. Whither it is true or not, it's about his mom and dad getting divorced at a young age and the difficulties that the dad has to go through with a son he never sees.

  • My dad is out at sea serving his country and I count the days wen he comes back here to me and my mom

  • Does Anyone else besides me realize that this song is actually about a girl. Sorry for all of your losses but its about a GIRL OK

  • @11LFitzgerald11 It shows a dude in the vid.

  • @11LFitzgerald11

    Then why does he constantly talk to his son throughout the song? Its about his son, and a little about the wife, but not much.

  • @11LFitzgerald11 I believe your mistaken. It has nothing to do with a GIRL except the fact they split up. It is about the relationship with his son which is why he addresses him directly as "son" in the song several times. Now you could stretch it to say the phrase "I slow die inside" is referring to the fact he is tore up about losing his wife or that it couldn't work out, but in the end his main heartache is his son and the hoops he now jumps through just to see him.

  • this for my son bri bri.. daddy loves you baby boy!! RIP Brian Robert Mayhew 12/22/2004 -01/17/2012

  • My dad is in a country band and throughout my whole life he was on the road. My mom didnt really understand so they got divorced when i was 2. What my mom couldnt see is that he was just doing his best to make it so that we would never have to worry about money and stuff anymore. My dads band is really talented and the only reason they didnt make it is because they got screwed over. My dad loved me and he said this song was his song to me except it was "highway 40 ride". He is my favorite person

  • This reminds me of my step dad and my mom and what has happened :'( i cant listen to this song with out crying cause miss my step dad Shawn so bad :'( my mom put a Cpo on me and her to keep him away and i under stand but hes still a good guy in ways and i miss him and everything me and him have been through and im like this cause he was in my life since i was about 2 years old and he was like a father to me....If you see this Shawn Cother I LOVE YOU MAN!

  • this reminds me when my dad left but i listen to it every day hoping it will put the reverse effect on it and bring him back

  • My fiance lives in another state and I go to see her every other weekend. I think its ironic that this song fits so well as I drive 6 hours to see her down Interstate 20. I'm thinking we finally found a wedding song to dance to. I hope she approves.

  • The question mark on my last comment was supposed to be a period. I hit the wrong key by mistake.

  • My granfather was a WWII vetren and even though he survived the war, he died in 2006 at the age of 84 and when I was only 10 years old, and after seeing him in the coffin, I didn't stop crying until I went to bed. I always think of him whenever I hear this song and my eyes just fill up with tears. I miss him so much?

  • im 14 (guy) and i ride west every other friday to see my little brother <3 im straight but he means the world to me, my parents divorced when i was 5.

  • my parents divorced when i was 2 also right now my dad is in germany

  • I cannot relate to this but I still feel for the story.

  • @MrBigrobmjca3 same here

  • Love the song, but it kinda sounds like a slower version of knee deep, idk which came first but still

  • And I count the days, and the miles back home to you Talen.

  • Comment removed

  • my dad livesin texas and i just got to see him after about 1/2 and he is coming down from ther to see me to day

  • On november 4, 2004 an amazing man was killed that man was my father. I was three years old at the time and parents were seperated. Everyday I think about him and why it had to happen to this wonderful man. This song reminds me of him so much and I cant help crying everytime I hear it! I love you Daddy!

  • @DaMagicUnicorn12 awhh! im so sorry!!! how did he go? :'(

  • my husband, 3 brothers, and his dad are all truck drivers. september 24th, my brother in law was murdered in atlanta, georgia at the pilot truck stop. he was held over to deliver the next morning. he was assaulted, robbed, shot, and killed. the guy even took his wedding ring off of his finger. he laid there for three days in the truck. his son worked with him on occasions. we're from indiana. this song is on his video we played at his memorial, for his son.

Your mother is a very good mom and woman but people have there differences.... You will understand one day, but your mom just needs to clear her head and I'll see you sons I love you dad will always be here for you no matter what the problem is.

  • This song reminds me so much of my father. I used to never understand him or my parents' divorce, but I've matured and realized that it had nothing to do with me, and he still loves me just the same. He's a great man...

  • Great music.. So meaningful

  • My daughters father and I recently separated. I love her father, but we just couldn't make it work. He's such a great father and I know this is how he feels about our daughter.

  • The first time i heard this song i was driving with my dad back home to my mom's house i started to cry and he didn't even have to ask why. My parent's divorced when i was 2 and he pick's me up evey other friday! It really got to me <3

  • @da2ndcheesyweesy I just read your comment and freaked out, i was very confused because I posted a comment similiar on another video of this song, and we pretty much have the excact same life.

    First time I heard this song I was driving on a highway called the "Coquihala" it's a major highway in BC and we both started to cry and laugh, and now this song is called Highway 5 drive for us because that's the highway!

    He is a truck driver and my parents divorced when I was two.

    Nice story! <3 hang in!

  • @da2ndcheesyweesy my dad and mom are divorced too. feel ur pain. i started to cry when i first heard it too. but then i realize how much my dad works and fights to see me and how he must feel as well. it sucks!

  • @da2ndcheesyweesy i was two as well no joke

  • this song touches mine and my partners hearst more than anyone could ever realise, just recently we lost our beautiful baby boy and it refects just how bad our relationship was before i lost bub.. throughout my whole pregnancy we didnt get along and now that he is gone we are really close... this song makes me bawl my eyes out... the first night i heard it it didnt just make me cry it made my partner cry too.. he was the one who dedicated it to our little boy :'(

  • @switchblade43 i feel ya bro. never met my dad either

  • Wow....three people need to get their heads out of their asses...

  • wow man every time i listen to this song i just start to really think about life

    is it just me or do alot of zac brown band's songs have that same effect

  • @codeman7780 i totally agree.

  • @codeman7780 Most country songs DO have a meaning in them. Unlike Rock/Metal which is more of psycho-babble nonsense

  • @900add that's true enough XD

    i still love rock and metal though =)

  • @codeman7780 when i heard this in concert i balled in front of my wife and best friend he has amazing lyrics

  • @codeman7780 i agree i always wonder why people just cant get along yea we are different but that what makes the world beautiful not terrorism and bombings. is great that their are different beliefs and choices out there bt that is not any excuse for killing innocent people. but i guess politics and what we call "freedom" is more important that getting along with people

  • I love my dad...wish we would do more together

  • My mom and my dad got divorced when I was like 6 years old...I used to see him ever other weekend and we would play put-put and go to the movies and hang out. Now I don't... I love u dad! And I know u love me too -3...
