  • Perfectly describes the relationship between my dad and older brother. <3

  • this is exactly my stepdad!!!! i love him

  • i have a question didn't youtube removed your video due to infrigment?mine was

  • i wish my stepdad was like this...he didn't give a crap about me...

  • My biological father and I have no relationship. My daddy came in my life when I was 2, so he's always been there. He was killed by a texting driver last year. This song speaks volumes to me. He did so much for me. I love you dad. r.i.p. -3

  • My now wife told me to listen to this song, makes me cry when I think about my new son. Great song, it relates to me and my family so well.

  • Ive never met my real father and, while I would like to, I dont NEED to. Ive got this other guy in my life I now call father:D

  • I love this song. But I love my real father but I'm glad that my mom remarried and so did my dad because then I would not have my brothers abmnd my sister and because he was and still their for me when my dad died

  • This reminds me of my father and my grandfather....Today I was in the car and this song came on that is why I looked it up right now, my stepdad changed the radio station when this came on I was so mad! I yelled at him, he wanted to hit me. But he knew if he did my real dad would kick his ass. I love my dad he made me who I am today.

  • This song..makes me cry everytime. My daddy and my brother completly. our dad is so amazing. He went to TN before I was born when my brother was about 5 before they were marrried, my mom and dad, he came back either.right before or right after, and he told him, my brother did, I wished for you. He asked santa for a daddy, and he got one 3 and that made our dad cry, and from then on he was and is his dad :)

  • forgive my spelling

  • I have many father figures in my life. This song goes to all those out there who have been a father to this fatherless child. My father really isn't a good father to me. So I am eternally greatful for all those great men in my life.

  • OF COURSE IM NOT CRYING!!

    Somebody is... errr... cutting onions close to me,,, yep.

  • I love this song. My dad left me and I stayed with my mother and she is getting remarried. The man she chose is the best! He does everything for me! He has done more for me than my blood father ever did!

  • my cousin, when she was five, her dad left her and her family, around when she was 4 her mom met a guy and he married her. at my cousins family my cousins original dad was there in the corner crying to this song....

  • Loved it way too much Dx I can't NOT listen to it. =/

  • i'm 54 years old now and my step-father who as far as i am concerned has always been my father and dad has been there for me, so this song meens a lot to me, I don't know if brad knows how many people he has touched with this song but it is one that is very special to alot of families,thankyou brad paisley.

  • my step-dad sung this to me every night before bed...i love his so much...but now my mom and dad are seperated..and every time i hear this..cuz hes the only dad ive ever know and all i will every know no matter what......

  • my real dad passed away when my mom was pregnant with me. my dads bestfriend stepped up and took care of my mom, and the ended up together, its a blessing, i love my DAD

  • My stepfather died may 12 and he raised me for 11 years and when he died it really hurt me so much but like my grandpa always said is that god will take the good people first but why couldn't be a little bit bad but we all know that he is in a good place right now...

  • Just started talking to my high school sweetheart again and im falling in love with her little girl such a sweet little thing

  • This song is sso true. My kids by my first husband are 17 and 13. My husband now is more their dad than their biological one. Hes home every night supports them and does everything for them. Their dad is nothing more than a spermdonor. Never pays a dime for them. My daughter had braces on her teeth thanks to my husband. The spermdonor doesnt do a darn thing. Shes a cheerleader thanks to my husband and his money. Neither child would have a thing if it wasnt for him

  • This song hits home with me- but a girl version- but word for word, totally fits

  • oodly enough, this is my husbands life right now. no skipped details.

  • The only dad I have is my wife's dad

  • I have a step-dad. Even though we fight, he still is my father. He could have left and ran the other way, but he chose to stay and take care of me. He didn't have to be my dad, but he chose to be. Most people would have ignored me, but he was man enough to except me. I love you Mike! Even though we aren't always on best terms, you will always be my father.

  • love this song cryin the whole time...

  • Fo my son, Andrew. To him, I was the dad I didn't have to be. But I WAS DESTINED to be!

  • Fo my son, Andrew. To him, I was the dad Ididn't have to be. But I WAS DESTINED to be!

  • i had my really dad my whole life but he was a truck driver gone for weeks at a time and my uncle bruce stepped in when he was gone and up til the day my uncle dead he was my second dad

  • Thats what u call a man. Some one who can accept a woman and her child... thats love. Thank u.. to all those guys that know how to use their hearts and respect us as woman not as meat. =)

  • When I was young I used too stay up late and watch movies with my dad, then play army men lol. We did everything together, the reason I respect women and people is because of him, my dad became and alcoholic, and doesn't live with us anymore, i still call him and miss him soooo much, once i get a job im going too do stuff with him, like golfing, etc, LOVE YOU DAD

  • a good song that you can follow the words to

  • This song is for me & my stepdad.

  • i love you dad allways an for ever if could be half the man you are im no blood to you but you raised me as your own an now i dont even know if you gone to make it no matter wat anybody says any man can father a child but it takes a real man to stand up an be a dad

  • I know my daddy will love this song...especially the chorus...the second verse really applied to my family...my mama and daddy have been married for 22years...they were married ten years before they had me

  • this is my favorite brad song! it trumps remind me!

  • this song just made me bawl my eyes out. Im 17 and a single mom. the father and i are not together and i met a guy how is a year younger than me and he was the perfect dad to my little boy and then almost a year went by and he started to change and everything was changing and the baby loved him and called him dada and they had such a connection and this song makes me think of that guy that didnt have to be a dad at 16 and he was and now were not together :'(

  • this reminds me of m step dad he passed away last year On April 20,2010 and everytime i look at pics of him or listen to songs i cry im only a teenager and a teenager doesnt want to see their family members die im 13 and i had to go through this god please take care of my Father Anthony V. Lopez

  • This song reminds me of my mom's ex.. He was practically my father..and he was the best father ever. :(

  • my brother sang this song 2 my dad it's his stroy but with my sister in the package

  • i love licking

  • if there was a girl version this would be my song...i have 2 kids of my own with my current husband and 3 step kids that i love and would not trade them for nothing in the world...i <3 u Logan,Ashlyn, and Talon....Payton and Julian love u guys:)

  • I <3 my DAD soo much!

    none of my friends understand why i call him dad.

    Because my dad lest my mom with 5 kids!! 5!! re-married and we havent seen him for 7 years! im 18 now..

    hes my dad.. he raised me.. my sibblings..

    people may not ever understand.

    Hes my DAD!!

  • This is my daddy made over my real dad left when mom was pregnant came back for about 2 months then gone again she found my daddy and he is the best I love him and now tht she is no longer here im grateful they met! I love my daddy but my real dad can go and do what he does best not be in my life i like it that way!!!! sad but tru

  • i wish there was one for mothers

  • just got engaged. she is the world to me and it seems so unrealy ya know? i love her and soon she'll be my wife. man i love her so much

  • I love my step dad soo much! I never had my real dad growing up so he took that place. He means everything to me

  • my mom is sad because her dad died this morning

  • reminds of my mom.. something she is going thru right now. it took her 5 yrs to date again. The man she's with right now is a wonderful man. Both my brother and I love him dearly. Mom's been thru a lot thru the years.

  • This song reminds me of my mom...

  • awesome job!

  • Never heard the song before, my girlfriend (single mom) showed me it. Very beautiful.

  • my step dad is my dad! ill love him forever! hes not only my dad but hes my best friend! some1 i can turn to 4 anything. me and him have went thru alot together. love ya larry!

  • My step-father is my dad. I love him so much. I'm getting married. Is this an appropriate song to dance with him to? It's more about a guy and his stepdad, but I love it.

  • @legalglitz I think that's a wonderful idea. And true, it is more about a son and step-dad. But it's pretty much saying "thank you, dad, for being there for me when you didn't even have to. I hope I can be half the parent you are to me" It's a beautiful song, and I hope you the best with your marriage.

  • @legalglitz yes!!! it is about a step dad who is more than just a step dad, it couldn't be more perfect

  • @legalglitz my older sis has the same sitch she is going to mix this song with butterfly kisses. (she is my half sis)

  • @legalglitz it's about a childs mom getting either married or re-married, and the step dad being more of a dad than the childs real dad, it would be appropriate

  • Heard this morning. Made me cry.

  • man lemme tell you paisley is one of the best country music singers ever i wouldnt change a thing. gosh i hope he keeps this up.

  • My girls wanted me to here this song, when they were little I remarried (that was 18 yrs ago) they said this song reminds them of my husband, he has been a wonderful Dad to them. They are grow with children of their own now.... I am so blessed to have been given such a wounderful man, husband and dad for my kids...THANK YOU GOD

  • this song reminds me of my best friend's brother, whose girlfriend has a little boy and he's like a dad to him. (she's not like it sounds, and the situation isn't exactly the way it sounds either...hard to explain)

  • and feeling his son kick and all that so he relized what he missed out on

  • this songs kinda hits home to me but not me. my sons dad was abused by his father and his mom left his dad when he was young and met what is now his step dad and his step dad tought him to be a good person and how to be a man. when i was pregnant he left me but he did come back after i had the baby and was there when his baby needed him and was a damn good dad. he made his mistakes and has to live with it every day noing that when i was pregnant with his son another man was talking to his son

  • I can relate this song so much! TRINIE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOUR THE BEST! I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU! even through the loss of my mom,you have stood by side..and we get through this together! (=

  • for the record this song really hits me. this is almost the story of me and my dad he is the greatest man i know he has been in my life since i was 3 and has been there for me more than my blood father. if i could be even half the dad he was to me my children will be well off! i love my dad!

  • i wish my stepfather was like this. he kinda stays out of my buniness but i wish he didnt because my father doesnt really care about me at all. :(

  • this song is exactly what me and my sister thinks of my step dad he is amazing and i could never ask for someone so loving to have come into our lives when we were so young alone and sad love you dad

  • I just barely like 15 minutes ago got back from my uncles funeral and this song was performed and it was so good I love this song...

  • @hUNTErBabE07 im sorry for your loss. :(

  • @cherrysoda1234567 thank you it was hard ha but its better than have him in heaven with his dad than here suffering...

  • @hUNTErBabE07 yeahh thats true.

  • @hUNTErBabE07 yeah it is he was a very nice man thank you for saying those nice things:)

  • @bunsoy1989 He is awesome my friend!!! Country music is awesome!! Real life stuff!!! like all the rest it has its not so good, but overall its great!!!!

  • there are 2 just plain stupid people living as we speak!!! ignorant!!! My father got with my mother even though she had a 7 month old down syndrome son!! He also adopted that son and gave him his last name!!! Raised him along with 3 more boys!! My brother Stephen was never treated any different than the rest of us!! My dad was the greatest ever and I hope that I can be even a part of a man as he was!!! Rest in peace dad and bro!! We miss you both greatly!!

  • there are 2 just plain stupid people living as we speak!!! ignorant!!!

  • This song makez me cry every time, cuz the closest thing i had to a father is my momz on and off boyfriend from highschool tht she kept in touch with and he would come around. When i was little i actually thought he WAS my dad. He died a couple yearz ago, and we didnt even find out til a couple weekz later when his brother died and his obituary was in the paper and my mom called their mom and she told her. I miss him alot. He was my dad even tho he didnt have to be.

  • I cant wait to see it in ASL....

  • Cant wait for the ASL.....I love to see that...this is very good...keep it up

  • I have a (nearly) 2 year old daughter and i am a single parent, dating DEFINITELY feels more like a job interview. Love this song!

  • thankss

  • this song i can realate a lil bit my dad walked out before i was born and now the guy my mom is about to marry i cant except him cause me and my dad are really close now soo yeah does anyone now wat i need to do i am only 12 but i need some help pllzzz

  • @55Deanlover Im 12 too but i dont hav to deal with that. Just give him a chance, you still have ur dad but now u hav an extra one to love and care for ya

  • I wish there was a version of this for a girl singing because its how I feel about my dad I hope Im half the parent that he didnt have to be<3

  • i told my step dad the other day when this came on. that this is just like you. b/c wen i was born. my real dad left. and my mom meet my step dad when i was three and i calld him daddy and him and my mom werent even going out yet! but he went along with it. and has taken care of me and my mom sence i was 3 and upto this day(im 14)

    I LOVE YOU DADDY PAT.

  • My dad walked out on me when I was only 3 years old. When I was 14 (after years of my mom dating different men), she found the one that stuck around. They've now been married for 7 years going on 8. I consider him my real father because he's taught me a lot. He gave me my first job at the age of 14. Now I know the true value of a dollar, how to treat a lady, and most of all... How to be a father to my soon to be step-son.

  • I love my step dad ,

    And i hate with a passion

    My biological father

  • @crazychick1010luv I am the same way and I want to dance this song with my step-dad (dad) at my wedding in a few weeks.

  • @crazychick1010luv dont hate your real dad with a passion. i have a step dad to. and i have never met my real dad before this past summer. and im like his twin but his daughter and a girl. i love him so much. try to give your dad a chance. just think about it.

  • i was a volleyball basketball and softball player well i got prego in high school and the dad left didnt want nothing to do with his son! i missed out on everything in school and friends cause i had to stay home. i thought no one would wanna be with me cause i had a son until i met chris! i love him more than anything and he accepts me and my son! thank you God for lookin out for me and being with me!

  • great song

  • its beautiful.

  • my mom and step dad were together for 13 years and split up last year, he taught me what it meant to be a good man, I love him more than my own father, thanks for everything Tim.

  • I might act lke a jerk to my stepfather but, I still I love him. I might not show it but I do. This song always makes me cry because it reminds me of my mom, me, and my stepdad. I gave him permission to marry my mom and I wouldn't change that moment as long as I live. I'm getting married soon and in my wedding i'm gonna have my stepfather walk me down the aisle.

  • @happygil45 but wat do u do if u cant except him but u love ur stepfather i am kinda close to my dad and my stepdad has only known me for a year and my momma and him r getting married can u help me r give me something plzzz

  • @55Deanlover well my friend what you do is respect the fact that your mother loves him! He is not your father and you do not have to recognize him as such. However, you do need to respect your mothers happiness and get along. your mother should in return make known that you have a father and he is not a replacement for that!! Good luck to you and yours!!

  • lol the way the video is titled "Brad Paisley - He Didn't Have To Be with lyrics" if he didn't have lyrics how would he know what to sing haha

  • @toehead976 least funny thing iv ever heard.

  • @zKyle96 who ever said it was suppose to be funny, and i'm sorry i don't mean to start a fight that is if that whats your doing :P

  • @toehead976 ok thats not problem then :)

  • It almost killed me when me and my hubby were having problems and I thought this was gna be my two wonderful kids song :( I'm so happy things got better! For the single moms out there you are heroes and your kids will know this as they grow up! Also that dad will come along and sweep you out of your nightmare

  • my high school bf always talked about his "dad" and all the things they did together when we were dating, and the first time he brought me home to meet his parents, he kept calling his dad "Bruce" and I was like, why do you call your dad by his first name?? ha turns out he wasn't his biological dad but the only dad he knows. He's married now and I haven't seen him in 4 years but every time I hear this song I still think of him and the special bond he shared with his step dad, I mean dad :-)

  • Comment removed

  • great song

  • omg i've never heard this song before... it totally made me cry....

    i have a beautiful girl who's a year old ....

    and i pray everyday that we can go from something is missing toa family!!:(

  • last night i saw my brother singing this in his room, hes 27

  • @Zebrasrox21 Awhh thats Cute :P

  • Wow my man that I have now did this for me. I thank god everyday for Joe.............

  • my LITTLE sister has a baby she just turned 14 and she cries everytime she hears this song 

  • @superchristine123456 Oh wow.. I'd be killed if I had a kid right now.. I'm 14 also.. I hope the best for her and her little one. If she has a youtube and ever wants someone to talk to; I know we don't know each other but I can talk with her.

  • this is totally me!!! im a single mom and im havin trouble tryin to find the right man

  • man this makes me cry causs my girl has a son and hes not mine and i hope i can feel in to be his father

  • I totally relate to this song. I cry every time I hear it (= except I dont wanna be a man or marry a women, lol

  • i love this song. thumbs up if you agree. :)

  • this song makes me wish i had a dad :/

  • My dad married a woman I can't stand, but for her kids' sakes I'm glad he did. They needed him. My step dad's family treats me like their own, as does he, and I have my sister's (adopted) side of the family. My grandma adopted them, and they returned the favor-though it helped that her mom and my dad almost married once too. My grandma can't stop collecting kids. XD She's 60-something now. So I relate to the song. Majorly.

  • I cant relate to this song my dad toke in three kids when u never wanted any and gave me three more bro/sis and im so happy he did ..altho im a girl :)

  • DONT READ THIS YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS NOW YOUVE STARTED READING THIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY SEND THIS TO OVER VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACUTALLY WORKs

  • i would really like to See the asl Verison of this..

  • this song makes me cry..im such a dumbass...i have a stepdad and he was there for me for 10 years and i just fucked it up and now he hates me im really sorry

  • Well The girl I am with now is 7 months pregnant and she wants me to be the daddy... Now every time I hear this song I end up crying. Means the world to me to hear it.

  • makes me cry..

  • In my case, my family's dysfunctional, my real dad's still alive, but my step dad and his family treat me as much like family as they do my step dad and my three half brothers. And that's really rare for whole families to be that accepting. It really helped when I was having problems with my step mom. I still had good step relatives to look up to. Helped me keep myself a more accepting person who can laugh and love with those who care.

  • this is me and my dads song it makes me cry everytime

  • Riminds me of my dad(stepdad) who was my real dads bestfreind, which died when my mom was pregnant with me, and when that happened my dad(stepdad) help my mom out and they eventually got married, i love my dads so much and hope to see my real dad one day in heaven. i love them both. makes me cry everytime i hear this song, i love it.

  • Gosh, this song made me cry. My girlfriend has a kid and I can't wait for him to call me daddy :,)

  • WOW.. never heard this before I love it

  • This is sooo my life right here. My mom has only had 3 BF's that cared,her current one,the one me and the lil bro call dad,one we still see from time to time,and one iother one we haven't heard from in years...but we hope we can see again. My birth father has never been there,but I feel like I finally have a dad now...

  • S**T This is the Best SONG EVER!!!!!!!

  • i have a step dad, he does alot for me, but i wont let myself like him, i think cus im a daddys girl and he came in my life late and tried to take my dads spot and is still trying to do it to this day

  • this is a great song it describes a situation tha i was in i love this song

  • gives me goosebumps every time... beautiful

  • My cousin is going to dance with her stepdad with this song at her wedding. :)

  • What album is this off of? can anyone tell me?

  • love it!

  • my dad divorced my mom i still see em though :(

  • I Love This Song This is my song i never new my real dad but when i was 5 my mom ment ''MY DAD'' it was the only guy that stayed around  2 years later they got marryed , he has been there threw thick and thin (L) adn just 2 years ago i found the most amazing man who is now my fiancee and a year ago we started planing on haveing a baby & we had our little boy on june ,30 2010 & my mom and dad got together june,30 2004 :) I LOVE YOU DADDY & papa Love Your Grandson & daughter

    thanks every 1 =D

  • i like this song

  • My step dad has made all my dreams come true...I love him so much.

  • im acully tearing up my dad died, my mom remarried when i was 6 hes ben the best =;)

  • I can relate because my dad has been in prison since I was 3 and now I'm 13 and he held a gun to my lil sisters head And he got out of jail recently and last year my mom married my step dad and he takes care of me and my sister we treat him like our dad and he treats us like his daughters and we are blessed to have him in our lives I love him

  • I think if my stepdad when I hear this song

  • if i ever get married, i plan on dancing

    to this song with my step dad (:

  • This song is so touching. My estranged father was never a part of my life and I consider my step-father my dad. He has infinitely blessed the lives of both my mom and I. I'm engaged and thinking of using this song at my future wedding. He will be giving me away and we will share a dance.

    Is the song appropriate for a girl? My mom thinks it is a guy to guy song.

  • this explains what happened with my "dad" who died last November. My mom married my step dad in 2007... and he's amazing

  • I never thought i would find a most touching so because I have 2 younger bro and sister and my mom started dating this guy when i was 5 or 6 and they got married and now i have 2 brothers and one sister that just touchs me because he never had to be our dad and he did he changed my life my younger brother and sis or so greatfull to call him our dad ....when I get married I will play this @ my wedding :) thank you dad I love U with all my heart ♥
