Lyrics:
He was named by my Grandma
She got it from the Bible
And he passed it on to me like my grandaddy’s rifle
Raised me up like sweet corn
Created a disciple
Yeah I fought it like hell, hell he became a rival
Yeah I tried to be different
Tried to go against the grain
Didn’t make no difference
I just ended up the same
I’ve never known better
‘Cause every bone’s tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father’s søn
Yeah
Yeah I left town just to get out of his shadow
And he’d send me a twenty just to get back on the saddle
I put up a good fight but I didn’t win the battle
I guess the tree don’t grow very far from the apple
I’ve never known better
‘Cause every bone’s tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father’s søn
I am my father’s søn
I wear his blue jean jacket & his name like a badge of honor
I used to hate being called Junior
but I don’t mind any longer
I’ve never known better, yeah
‘Cause every bone’s tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
Everything I am’s everything he was
God damn, I am my father’s søn
I am my father’s søn
I am my father’s søn

Also named Stephen Wilson Jr., and was born in 88, lost my father in 2017 and found this last night. Just want to say Thank you.
If I wasn't crying already this would do it. 👊❤️
😢
Sir. You got it.
Oh my goodness that's very moving. I can only imagine how this song hit you. God bless and may your father rest in peace.
Gotdamn. I'm not a junior but I lost my pop in 2019 at 40 (me being 40) and to say that it is a profound experience in innumerable ways is the understatement of the century.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Just a grown man, crying, listening to this song on loop...
He has more.... Check it out ! Cheers
You're not alone brother.
Felt. And agreed. Lost my old man to cancer back in July of '23, this song makes me weak Everytime I hear it
Same here brother
I'm not his son, but I should have been.
I lost my father to suicide, and this song brings tears to my eyes.
This fucking song right here! I hope one day I can shake this man’s hand! This is one of those all time great songs! ❤️
I agree 💯. This song hits me like a straight right hand
Hell I would love to corriograph a song with this man real insightful heartfelt words
After I heard him sing this song I had to hug him and I got that chance, although I'm not my father's son I'm my father's daughter and the pain is real and raw. When they leave this world a part of you goes with them.😢
Agreed he speaks to my soul. ❤ this guy so much what an amazing talent.
My father failed me hard…and I still feel this song in my bones.
I am now a father of 5 with one amazing woman…and my wife and children are everything.
My father passed in 98. He and I never really saw eye to eye. But still loved him just the same. He wasted alot if time drinking he was such intelligent man. I'm just surprised he wanted to waste over half his life drinking. I'm not an alcoholic but I could be just as easy. So I don't really drink once on a long while a neighbor and I will have some wine. But other than that it really doesn't do much for me.
So sorry your father failed you.But now it is up to you to move on and live your life. And try to leave the past behind.
@@joannswitzer2084 Oh I moved on long ago. In hindsight…Being separated from him was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It kept me from becoming him…and God through that situation revealed to me the importance of being a Biblical father.
Makes me smile knowing someday I will be able to say I discovered this man’s music before he became a super star.
Same here man. I was watchin him 3 years ago when noone had heard of him. My.son introduced him to me. And 1994, billy, the devil was the beginning of the journey. But dude is outta this world. One of the best albums ive ever heard, and his acoustic versions are as good if not better than the studio versions.
I always admired my old man, he made my life difficult but I now know that he just wanted me to be a better version of himself. He wanted me to have a better life than himself which was made impossible because I only wanted to be just like him. We lost him to cancer at 62 years old, I was barely 30. It's almost been a year, and one hell of a rough one. But goddamn I am my father's son 💜
😢
I lost my Dad last week and this hit me in my soul. I am my father's son!
This is some kind of weird coincidence. Never heard this song before in my life, popped up on my feed. Tomorrow would have been my dad's birthday. I am a junior..... wow 😢
Im so sorry😢 he is still watching and talking to you everyday
God bless, tyour old man will forever be watching over you until you meet on the other side. Live like you know he'd want ya too brother!
Yes I'm going to text my ex husband this song
❤
You shoukd listen to his other stuff. This guy is a sleeper and I cant believe he hasnt blown up yet.
This dude makes real country music. This is rare. Protect this man.
This isn’t country music. This is universal…it appeals to everyone and everything that is good.
Damn straight sir!!
@@MegaKiekerit is country doesn't mean everyone can't enjoy it. It's just not as 'cool' in society to admit it.
Genre is irrelevant. It's plain raw emotion and sharing of the most intimate feelings anyone could have. Its just beautiful.
WHAT A PIECE OF ART.
Spot on
the craftsmanship is 'can't be better'
My dad suffers from dementia, and this song just hits home,its like my thoughts put into word's. Thank You for putting my thoughts into word's I'm sure i don't stand alone
try mediterainian diet and a type of Magnesium called L-Threonate,i am sure that you will get your dad back then.
I lost my father less than a year ago and im named after him making me a Junior also and this song literally stopped me in my tracks. For 46 years until he passed I always felt like I lived in his shadow but this song made me embrace the fact we are the same and to be proud of that. I wished my dad lived long enough to hear this song so he could have understood how I felt. Thank you Stephen Wilson Jr.
He knew how you felt.im sure of it😊
I saw SWJ last Saturday night when he opened for Midland and its was one of the best sets I've seen in ages. So damn authentic. Absolutely moved me. I've been on the albums non-stop since then. Amazing.
is it the slide guitar?? I dont know what or why these songs are so emotional. I'm also older, w/ aging parents, so maybe it wouldn't hit me same if I were young but this guy speaks to my generation and lets just say its appreciated: )
Thank you for writing an amazing song. I am my father's daughter no doubt. I unfortunately found him forever asleep in 2017. I'm having a hard time with it now more then back when it happened. Thank you for amazing music to help cope❤❤
Lost my dad almost 2 years ago, thank you for such a heartfelt, beautiful song.
Lost mine when I was 18. 10/11/18. Every day is a battle, but I push every day to make him proud. Stay strong bud!❤
God bless @@user-iz3zk3lf3k
Not a fan of Country Music but I'm a fan of Stephen Wilson Jr.
❤Unreal
Appreciate every song/artist for what it is. Genres put great artists in boxes which stops people listening. Enjoy😊
Music comes in many genres, many forms, but if you appreciate it, makes no difference who, what, or where it comes from. Only that you feel it, makes you laugh, cry, angry, motivated....powerful thing is music, that's why we love it. 👍
My dad and I knocked heads most of the few years that I had with him. Alcohol was the weapon the enemy chose to destroy him. Old school Oklahoma oilfield rig tough. I followed in his footsteps. I was 27 when he left this earth and had the honor of being with and praying over him in his last moments. Love is the Conqueror; Forgiveness its Warrior. I miss him…
Your voice reminds me of chris cornell. I love your music so much!
Cornell with a little twang to it.
Owe wow I didn’t think of that until I read your comment and you’re exactly right. He sounds like Chris singing country with “a little twang” as the commentator above me says.
I shared cuckoo with my mom and said he reminded me of Chris Cornell. I'm glad others hear it
Comparing this cat to a dead man is just what he wants to hear, this is a fucking great tune and video.
I'm sorry bit even from the grave Chris Cornell can enunciate a word better than this. I love the words and the song but I couldn't understand most of it. Had to look up the words.
I fought for years competitively sharing the love of the sport of boxing with my father. He was in the Golden Gloves and fought in the pan American games. He died in 2019. I ran his construction business for a few years and then switched my career. I have no regrets. I love you dad. I hope you are proud of me!
From the same small town as John Mellencamp here in Indiana....the town of Seymour. Must be something in the water!!!! (Thank God, Stephen Wilson Junior is no longer selling off all of his best songs for others to sing....it's his time to shine.)
We are the lucky ones to have those great memories. To ALL of our Fathers that have left this earth RIP...
I lost my dad when I was 15. This song wrecks me. I turned 40 this year. I outlived my old man and have been without him longer than I was with him. It's odd how a lifetime ago and yesterday can be the same amount of time.
Son of Dad will be album of the year, I can feel it 🙏 Incredible artist 💯
Should be , but sadly it won't. This world is upside down right now. Amazing talent like that gets lost into a black hole for some reason.
I hope my sons hear this one day and think of me. My father is nobody to admire and have never been able to look up to him. I wouldn't have had it any other way because I'm proud of who I am. Anyway, incredible song and musician this song should be on every station in America
This guy is about to go big!
SW,jr is the greatest new singer, songwriter to come along in a generation. SoD is a classic.
Love this song!! Very touching. I knew your Dad. .
This song hits so hard. Life long fan you got here
lost the ole man st patricks day 2015, 1999 performed CPR on him. Due to hi stubborness he lived another 16 years! Which I'm grateful for! My 10 year old daughter knows this song inside and out because I rip it! Thank you Stephen for your artistry and putting what I and many feel into words!
"Wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood."
Yessur.
Miss ya, pops.

This song is savagely strong and raw. Strong....STRONG SONG! 💪
THANK YOU...FOR WRITING THIS!!
What I wouldn’t give for a recording of my dads voice. Starts to fade after 20 years…
That's gotta be one of the hardest things. Condolences.
I feel that.. much love amigo
Lost my dad in 2011 and thankfully have many videos as a record. Lost my mom in 1983, when I was 8. I used to have 8 tracks of her playing guitar and us singing and talking, and even arguing with each other. I have no memory of what her voice sounds like. I wish I still had those 8 tracks.
Ever since I found this song on Apple, I’ve been playing all your music non stop. Love them!
Same!!! 1994 is soooo relatable! And, even though I'm a woman, I still relate to the message of this song. His voice is incredible!!
For me it was the "Devil" I first listened to, and ever since
His music is somethin else.
God damnit, might be the first time I’ve ever cried during a song. Incredible
Stephen Wilson Jr., your father has to be so proud of you. This song is a masterpiece.
I don’t know how this song hasn’t blown up in Country Music yet!
Im not named after my father but i followed in his footsteps. Somewhere along the way he lost his battle with depression and the abuse he put himself through took its toll. I've lost my father while hes still alive and the example he set for me has faded for himself however i will never waiver... We dont talk, and he holds a grudge for no good reason... Regardless i rise above because i remember the man my father once was... I am my fathers son🙏🏻
Forgive him and go tell him him u love him. Grudge regardless you kin you are love 💗
You nailed this I only knew my dad for 7 years and he died. I am just like him even though he's been gone for 35 years. The good and the bad lol
I heard this live in Manchester last night and it's the first time in my life that I've felt like I was in a trance. I'm not a cryer but this had me in tears thinking about my own dad. Beautiful song and amazing singer.
Wish I'd seen him there. Just discovered him four days ago. He's one of a kind and the best voice out there.
I am my father's daughter! Great song!
I am my Father’s daughter, wonderful song, it all comes back to where you belong in the end, no matter what happened in the beginning. Great Voice and I sure hope CMA appreciate your talent
You deserve starts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
Phenomenal talent. Potentially a once in a Generation kinda talent!
The tree don't grow far from the apple... chills!
This is a great song. It's such a wonderful tribute to your dad.
A tear is flowing. Hit me hard. Props to you
God's speed Stephen , don't go too fast , it's always been about the ride .
this has multiple meanings, fighting against God as well then realizing none's better...deep
Whole lotta truth tellin, If I'm honest tears wellin
Beyond touching. Just incredible
Had me a tearful moment last night during this song at your gig in Belfast last night... was with my big son of whom I'm very proud - thanks for that! 2 fans for life here, Stephen Wilson jr.
This hits home in a few different ways for me as both the father and the son.
I am the third, everything in my soul wants my wife and I to be able to get the fourth, this song hits me in the most powerful way that all but a few songs have ever done. My dad and I have always been close, he has done everything in the world for his family at the sacrifice of his own happiness, but good lord I am certainly my father's son.
I lost my sweet momma last week. I’m absolutely shattered. I don’t know how I’m going to go on without her. I’ve been listening to this whole album on repeat. It’s been getting me through. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this emotionally heart-felt album with us. ❤
Man I heard the first few chords of this song and was hooked. I have all his songs on my playlist now.
I’ve listened to countless songs in countless genres and never shed a tear, until I came upon this man. And not only has he written one song to put a tear to my eye but multiple that has me balling my eyes out every time I listen. If you’ve found this guy, then you’ve found a treasure. If he don’t blow up and become famous as hell for his lyrical genius then there’s definitely something wrong with this world. His lyrics destroy any walls I have built to keep me safe from falling apart.
Every bones tethered...to every son that was raised by a Father from the Greatest Generation who thought they'd never measure up!
Stephen writes music that can paint vivid images in your brain. Amazing talent.
Thank you.
Wow. Best I've heard in literally 15 years
This song is Legendary. I love everything about it
Powerful video. It does your song justice.
Love the necklace at the end, “HANGING THERE”
Something bout this mans voice makes me cry so hard
Same
Absolutely amazing song. Bawling like a kid
By far one of the greatest songs ever written! ❤Your voice is one of a kind!
Lost my dad in 1982 when I was 21. Miss him every day. Thanks for the song…means a lot; brings back good memories. You have your dad’s necklace. I’ve my dad’s WWII dog tags and Army division ring.
This whole album is a hit. Love this album and the man who sings it. He is real and Raw. I hope to see him in Buckhead in November. 😊
Beautiful and prfect! Thanks for bringing it to life!
Wow, what a beautifully moving song & tribute to his father!
Another amazing song by such an incredible and talented human being. No artist in the last ten years has hit me in the heart like you💜. Hope to see ya soon at a couple of shows.
Soul grabbing song!
God bless you!!! Stephen Wilson JR ❤ God loves you so much 😊
Never forget him Stephen ❤Love hearing him at the end
Dam... I hope you keep on making music . Don't let Nashville ruin you. Awesome....
Amen. Another Junior here.....song hits home. Thank you.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Didn't meet my biological father until I was 32 but now that I have a son of my own this song really hits home. Thank you.
How is this not viral like this man has such a good voice with his music
My God man.... wow. Like a brick wall right to the gut.
Fantastic voice, fantastic strings on that guitar that play your music 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Can’t thank you enough for this song. Lost my dad in 2021 and man it has been hard. This song is a tremendous blessing to sit and listen to. Cheers bro! you’re album is amazing
Found this guy on Instagram a few days ago and never gotten so hooked so quick. Dude is genius
Pure talent and emotion, I love it brother!
Hardy brought me here from Faster Horses. Love this guys voice.
This has been the best album I've heard all year, thank you.
Have to say even though it's not my genre of music it's a great sounding song. Unfortunately I can't feel the lyrics as others would since I had a terrible father that I really don't know. But I can see the love he had for his father and his father for him. I used to be jealous of this but getting older I realize I'm just happy that there are still good men out there raising their children right. The world needs more of them...
That song hits so hard sir you are a breath of fresh air to music thank you for writing the truth about how important to have a great father.
Thank you Steven.
Just saw this guy live supporting Cadillac three, absolutely incredible! Amazing singer and guitarist.
lost my dad January 2nd found this song.... things are meant to happen
This is one of best songs I’ve heard in a very long time. From any artist in any genre. I’ve been hooked since I saw you in Newport, RI. Killer song which I know has deep meaning for you, but it speaks to so many. Such a great tune!
I have tears in my eyes, 42 years old. Love you Dad
Right cross, left hook combo to the soul with this song. I made this same peace and realization years ago, but this song landed clean.
Been a fan since my wife and I met and had a nice chat with you in Jefferson City a couple years ago. Proud to see you're continued success.
Your Dad put Jr in your name cause he knew you were your father's son!!!
The same reason My son has 2nd at the end of his name
Cause your both your father's son's
So to the greatest son's in the world salute ❤❤❤
Sparring with glasses on. Legend.
patches got patches thats how i feel Stephen you just hit and i feel all your songs we grew up in the same times man
Now that's a song! and the performance is awesome!
This song is so special. I feel every bit of the pain you felt & and are feeling as life goes on.
As you know I lost my Dad a few years ago as well. A day doesn’t pass by where I don’t think of him and feel his guidance.
This is a heartbreaker of a song that I will revisit in my moments of reflection. Thank you SWJR.
Loved the end of the video as well. Hang in there ❤ your UK OG
Just watched your video ( fathers son ) on CMT. I can’t believe I don’t hear you every time I listen to the radio. Incredible talent. Keep up the good work.
Goosebumps
Every man can relate to this song it's beautiful.
Everyday that goes by I become a bigger Stephen Wilson Jr fan 😁
You keep out doing yourself. This is just beautiful, goosebumps🙌👏
