Why can't music like this be on the damn radio...

[mattgraves]

As a struggling father I needed this song. I work from the time I wake up to when I lay down. 4:30 I start my main job in construction. I’m off at 4 and go go work on side jobs. When I get home I make wooden crafts to sell. I have 3 kids and an amazing wife. I’m physically, mentally, and emotionally drained, but to see my family’s stomach full and a roof over there head is what keeps me going. Y’all plz pray for me.

I’m 39 and my 16 yr old daughter sent me this with 2 hearts. That girl knows I got her till death!!! Dad loves you savanna!

[INTHEBAGGOLF]

25 years old.. crying my eyes out at 2am thinking of my daddy and how hard of a working man he is. This put him in a perspective for me I’ll never forget.. thank you.

[justinbarnes]

A wife and 7 kids. I work 7 days a week for months on end. Today is 63 days straight. All over the country. But in the end, my family is well taking care of. Lack of sleep and broken body, it's worth it. Thank God for men like you putting music like this out there. Believe it or not, this song helps keep us motivated and pushing! God Bless you and ALL YOU WORKING men and women!!! Stay strong, keep your nose on the grindstone and keep on keepin' on!

[richardshank]

Thank you for this as well. I don’t have a family yet. I’m getting my life back on track after losing 2 years of my life to drugs another 3 to prison. Been clean for 4 and a half years been out for 2 and a half. Currently 25 living with mom and while that’s rough on my pride I take pride in working 6 days a week and the fact that I’m on my way to rebuilding my life with a regular job. Thank you man the song is beautiful it hits home. And man it really isn’t like how you plan!! Lol

[chazgrissom]

I'm not an emotional man. That being said, I cried when this song played. It made me think of my father and all hes had to do for our family. Factory work, swing shifts, blisters, busted knees and back. U dont think about it when ur kids but god he sacrificed himself for our survival. U always hear about the hardships of being a mother but never the sacrifices of being a father. Now in my thirties, I too have a child of my own and a family. I work long hours in construction in the florida heat just to keep out heads above water. Sometimes I do side jobs so I can take my family somewhere nice every now and then. I hope I'm doin ok just trying to follow in my fathers shoes. Us blue collar workers are forgotton amongst all that is happening in country. Just know we r still here. We r keeping the country moving forward. God bless all the fathers and god bless the good ole usa.

Retired now and reaping the benefits of a lifetime of working from dark to dark thirty and yes, my hands are still dirty, but it’s on my time now. Thank you Lord for the gifts you have given me. This song puts all of that hard work in perspective for a lot of people.

[codymansmom]

As a single father working 12/14 hours a day .... this my life my kids and there lives and smiles are my world !!!!

[severusc]

Shift worker here. 16 hour days can wear a man down but songs like these make you remember what its for

[mattcousins]

Started my own welding company a year ago. 3 kids and a wife at home. Yesterday I was 150miles into the drive for a large job at 6am. Songs like this remind us men why we grind.

[stevenbergwall]

I’m 34 and this song brought tears to my eyes. I’m an industrial mechanic at a chemical plant and a single income home. Some days it truly takes its tole on me but the smiles at home make me keep going. I’m proud to provide for my family and will work hard for them! Amazing song really hit home with me need more artists like you that represent blue collar family’s like mine!! 🇺🇸

[TRG]

Not going to lie man. I'm 30 years old and this song brought tears to my eyes. Being born and raised in California, the typical stereotype is Californians are lazy. But I bust my ass 6 days a week 16hr shifts doing construction. Sometimes I feel like I'm not going anywhere, but your song made me realize I'm not alone. I plan on leaving California very very soon.

[daroldlawrence]

Damn brother!
I’m an ironworker of 24 years, out of town and broke down I can feel it in my bones.
No one else can feel it, Im alone out on the road
but when I call home to say hello, I love you and good night
I wonder do they hear it in my voice and in my heart.
I don’t wish this on any man, but if they only knew
The things just for them that I would put my soul through.
Bring it on

[roberthinton]

For some of us, 4 a.m. comes late in the shift. 10 hours into it for me. Sleep while my kids are living, but at least they have the things I didn't.

[leaagirlleagirl]

I’m old-school country 83 years old… This is one of the recent country songs that I can understand every word… What a pleasure to listen and understand the words and not have the drums and all the acoustics that are now involved in country music… Let’s get more of this kind of country songs on the market

[Kluna]

I can understand not enjoying... But to dislike this . What on earth do you like? That's heart and glad I stumbled on it

[johnhand]

From a 60 year old working stiff. This is so good it hurts.

[mountainmanjoe]

This isn't just a song it is an anthem for those of us who go out every day to earn a hard living and just getting by. Knowing what is waiting at home makes it worth it all. All working men should hear this song so they can see that they are appreciated and are living a good life the right way.

[labigboy]

My clock goes off and 4am every morning. I climb in a log truck still hurting from the day before and make my living. After 8 years of disability due to 2 battles with cancer, I went back to work in 2018. I’m proud to be a working man again.
