Found this by accident a while back and cried like a baby. Just looked it up anew after seeing Ashley on tonight’s CMA’s and cried like a baby all over again! And couldn’t help myself. “...I sat down to write a song in SPITE of him and it wound up being ABOUT him.” That’s Life-changing! right there.
Surely this old man (72) isn't the only one wiping tears from this old weathered face,, am I? Wow! Ashley McBryde,, I'll be searching fro more of this lovely girl's amazing music and YES GIRL,, your Daddy is so happy you grabbed up that old guitar and wrote this song for him,, I guarantee he's smiling and crying all at the same time.
One thing that people try to fake but can’t, is something I see on her face and hear in her voice...genuineness. She’s real, and I don’t think she realizes how awesome she is. One of my absolute favorites.
What a talent! Sad mainstream Country channels don't play the greats anymore! It is all polished pop country crap! Ashley is a true solid country star!
This woman is absolutely lovely in every way! Not only is she beautiful but she has a beautiful heart.... I can just see love and pain all over her! Thank you Ashley for writing such beautiful songs and working so hard to bring joy to everyone that hears your voice! I’m so happy that they got fat and you got famous! You are wonderful❤️
Seems I'm often late to the party. I ain't heard this song before, but wow! I'm glad I finally have. -Baptist minister's grandson in Alabama...inherited my dad's Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum a few years ago right after he passed.
Deacon's kid here. My brother got our dad's Browning Sweet 16, I got our mom's wedding rings. Pretty sure we'll both guard those treasures equally. Some things other people just don't understand.
@@landoneliasmatthews3007 As long as you remember, he's not really gone. My Grandmother (1914-2006) was a large part of my raising. She's still here every day with me. She knew all five of my sons, and now my grandchildren will know her through me.
This lady has to be one of the purest storytellers ever. When your music means something to you, you always give your best performance and the audience gets it! Great job Ashley McBryde! Shelley McBride...also a musician. :)
Yes well here comes the answer to Luke combs song"can I get an outlaw " rode around all day and listened to that song over and over went home and wrote this
Im bawling right now. So many similarites to my own dad. I wish I could right a song about my dad. That sure don't make them like him anymore. I miss him every day
This literally brings tears to my eyes, it's so good. On the single, her singing sounds almost too good not to be edited, but she sings it just as well here, proving that she really is that good on her own. Absolutely incredible.
My Daddy passed away 3 years ago today. My sister came across this video and sent it to me about a year ago. Ashley, I can not express the emotions that this songs brings to my soul. My Daddy was also a man who taught his little girls (4) how to be a man. He loved playing music and played a 1956 Fender Stratacaster. I now have that guitar. Your tribute to your Daddy is so touching and heartfelt. Thank you so much for sharing this song with the world. It brings comfort and pride to those who "hears the love" in your voice.
My cousin just introduced me to this song. So many of your words resonate with my dad. We lost him 6 months ago today. I miss him so much. Thanks so much for your talent.
Oh lord. Those two together are gonna make me cry. This is the first song I’ve ever heard from her and Chris Stapleton’s Broken Halos was played at my Uncles funeral in March, the very first time I heard it. My uncle and my Dad are a lot like the man she’s singing about, except they both let their daughters touch their guitars even though they weren’t made that way anymore. I had my Dad’s repaired in June. I’d give anything to find my Uncles guitars. Now I’ve gotta learn to play. This girl just sang my life in a song.
Joyous and brimming with courage..yeah and dignity and lovely-just lovely, thanks Ashley you funny and bring a huge hearty lift to my soul...my fave bit..'we're with each other'
holy crap. I love real life and emotion and the amazing ways that artists can convey there love to the general population. This makes you feel like you are a part of of it but all you did is listen.
Just like Ed Sheeran just a guitar, no band, backup. Both have amazing talent baby to stand alone. WOW!!! That's good they don't have to share the financial benefits with anyone else. And both seem very humble and kind.
I usually listen to old country and discovered her music today by a "good accident" searching RUclips and I just love her music, humor, and voice! What a talent! I just want to say that you have a great, genuine talent and I appreciate your music! I'm now a forever fan, thank you! ❤️
Seeing the man through his mistakes...God bless you Ashley. "Providence is endless Mercy is a mystery And fear is no good reason To believe in anything"--David Crowder
Every now and then someone special comes along.. Ashley McBryde Brandi Carlile... Are pure Gold... Exceptional Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters We love a singer-songwriter HERE
Church of Christ. Brought back memories... Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night. Brought back pleasant memories but when I needed them, a week before I got drafted in 1969, I asked a C of C minister to marry me and my pregnant girlfriend. The minister refused maintaining that he had to ask the Elders. I remember getting up from the chair, stating, that, “No. He did not.” I ended up going to my Aunt ( Heaven forbid, a back sliding Baptist) who asked a Good Man named Palmer Watson, her minister, to perform the ceremony. He not only agreed but volunteered the church building free of charge. I was a young man not sure what to do but 51 years later I still remember his christianity. You all can make your own judgments about the Church of Christ in that instance. I ended up a decorated Vietnam Vet in those years but also had 3 kids who ended up decorated and w/ multiple college graduate degrees and military honors. Make your own judgments....
I think about my mom when I hear this song. My mom is the strongest person I’ve ever met even though I don’t treat her like that and even though I should. I’ve listened to this song a bunch but this is the first time I cried while listening. Ashley, your voice, your art, your storytelling, your heart, amazing.
One of the most heartfelt and beautiful songs and delivery I've heard... got it on repeat right now. Changed my life tonight; one more day gone and one more night to wear like a rainbow wrapped around a low dark cloud that is fast moving away on the horizon. The light is shining down. Gracias, amiga!
He had a Southern drawl like a red-bone hound Every song he sang was my favorite sound He'd be the last one off if the ship went down Kinda man it feels good to be around Kinda man it feels good to be around Had hair as white as a cotton field And he could spin you a story like a wagon wheel Never went nowhere without a rod and reel Lord I miss that man and I always will I miss that man and I always will He'd see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just don't make 'em like that no more Said, "take what you've got and do the best you can Best thing you'll ever own is a piece of land" Y'all he knew his like the back of his hand He was something else, my old man He was something else, my old man He'd see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just don't make 'em like that no more Saw him strum this thing every chance he could And he left it to me like he said he would If you ask me why it sounds so good It's 'cause I'm holdin' more than strings and wood I'm holdin' more than strings and wood He'd see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just don't make 'em like that no more No they just don't make 'em like that no more
I can not express how i feel as Ashley has sung such a touching song which touched and brought back memories very dear to my heart. i want to think about my father who has passed away. A god in my eyes and I miss him as does Ashley in her song about her father. So strong on her behalf to publicize her thoughts and I am touched by her honesty and I am so glad she has sung about it. She has nailed the lines in her song saying how she feels regarding her father and much respect. Ashley came out with the most meaningful line i have ever heard in my life, while listening live on You tube and other social media. Cause i am holding more than strings and wood.
ABSOLUTELY!!!! IT IS HANDS DN THE BEST VERSE OF ALL!!! IF I HAD TO LEAVE ONE OUT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE THAT ONE!!!! BAD DECISION TO LEAVE THAT ONE OUT!!! BEST VERSE IN THE WHOLE DAMN SONG!!!! I JUST FOUND HER PURELY BY ACCIDENT TODAY AND I BEEN PLAYING THIS ON MY GUITAR WITH HER ALL DAMNED DAY NOW!!! BEST DAMNED ARTIST I HAVE HEARD IN FOREVER! REAL! DN TO EARTH! GREAT WRITTER!!! BEST DAMNED FEMALE VOICE AND FRANKLY ID TAKE HER OVER THE GUYS RT NOW!!! THIS GIRL CAN SING!!!!
I play this on a regular basis in honour of my Grandad. I have his guitar 🎸 And his organ. He could play any instrument by ear. He was always singing, whistling or talking to Gods creatures. Both him and his father fought in both World Wars. He also taught me how to hunt, fish, & how to love Jesus. His prayers are what saved me. I've missed him every single day since the Lord called him home. Over 12 years ago. And I can't wait to see him again. Great Song thanks Ashley from South Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful strong voice she has ! Love how she’s from Arkansas like I am also. We have some of the most genuine people here including her and I. Ashley I love your music keep it up !!!!
Wow !! This is what real talent looks like. Love her on the intro , the song is brilliant , but it's the performance , Ashley connects like few do. Great shooting James. Thanks so much for the upload. Made my day.
There are not many people in this world that you will see have this kind of talent.Go get’m girl. Can't wait to hear and see all you have to offer I'm just happy I was here in this world when you came along.🎸
Ohh My goodness Ashley McBride, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL song! You wrote and preformed this song SO AMAZINGLY WELL.... I have NO DOUBT your Dad is in Heaven smiling, and praising the Lord over your LOVELY & AMAZING talents! I loved this song Ashley & thank you for that AMAZING PERFORMANCE under God's & your Daddy's watchful eye ❤️ Thanks Again 🙏✝️🙋♀️❤️ PRAYERS & LOVE going up for all!!!!!
A songwriter that helps folks stay focused on what is truly important in life is a rare and vital person indeed. World needs to hear more genuine talent like this artist.
One of the best songs l have ever heard. You are the real deal, your songs are coming from your heart & memory. My dad wasn't a preacher but your song made me think of him. Very talented country song writer & singer you have the whole package as well & are a inspiration to us that are touched by your voice &talent.
I just love Ashley.. She is so beautiful not fake and her attitude is just awesome.. Everything she sings has meaning but this is my absolute favorite.. It reminds me of my grandpa..
Thank you so much James for recording and posting this video. This was one of the most powerful concert moments I have ever attended, I was crying like a baby and re-watching it has brought it all back to me. Incredible 5 minutes.
My absolute favorite part of this entire video is her visible reaction to the audience singing along with her. Just goes to show that her music has impacted so many people in so many ways, and she got to witness it through her audience. Must be no other feeling like it.
As a dad of two teenage daughters in this crazy world I can honestly say if my girls wrote a song about me, or even felt like this about me, it would be the greatest compliment of my life. What a sweet way to say I love you to your dad. I love this song and appreciate your music. Ashley, Please keep true country alive by making more of this kind of music. Yours truly- A big fan.
I love to watch her live videos because she always has a back story and it helps humanize her words that much more. I loved the live at Opry when she got choked up. Someone else remarked about her genuine truth. Sing your truth! Meeting Ashley is definitely on my bucket list. Amazing Lady. Have not heard anything that wasn't close to home. Thank you Ashley Mcbryde!
THAT was absolutely perfect. I do enjoy listening to these songs when they are performed LIVE. Ashley McBride, ya done me good all over again !!! signed - WOODY
Just lost my step up daddy of 40yrs on the 10th of August and played this song for my sister...needless to say we both lost it. I miss that man more than I've ever missed anyone
I love everything thing she stands for and our world need more supportive strong people to help others learn they can lead the way also..winners never quit and quitters never win
I’ve never heard this one... kinda come up on it as an accident... Tears are falling... Church Of God pastor’s Granddaughter here, and apart of a southern gospel band for 20 years ... mandolin and guitar and singer... You’re right.. they just don’t make them like that no more..

Amen to that!

Thank you Ashley for writing such beautiful songs and working so hard to bring joy to everyone that hears your voice! I’m so happy that they got fat and you got famous! You are wonderful❤️

Me too 😍
@@sonyagraske376 yep me too..wow ...just wow..does she tour here in the US?
@@paulahawthorne7807 I don't know. 😐
Yeah completely by accident here too.

Same here. Nothing like a Alabama preacher grandson. Miss my papa like crazy!! taught me alot
Seeing her reaction to the crowd singing along was a real treat. She fought back those tears well and played on. Great video.
Yea. You could see the emotion..
@@toddbrown3606 Its a pretty cool feeling I'm assuming
It gets her every time when the crowd sings along! She’s so honest and genuine with her emotions

So thanks for posting by the way bruv
Greetings from Denmark
Im bawling right now. So many similarites to my own dad. I wish I could right a song about my dad. That sure don't make them like him anymore. I miss him every day
This literally brings tears to my eyes, it's so good. On the single, her singing sounds almost too good not to be edited, but she sings it just as well here, proving that she really is that good on her own. Absolutely incredible.
When Ashley says “we’re not on a record, we’re with each other” I felt that hard ❤️🖤❤️🖤
I just found this. My chill bumps have chill bumps. I love it.
My uncle passed away a month ago, and the song is exactly the person he was! RIP UNCLE MIKE! Keep hunting Mike I love u!
She could sing the phone book and I’d listen. Amazing talent. Simply pure!
Couldn't have said it better! 😂
So cool to see an artist get that feed back from the crowd singing her song. Thats gotta be a feeling that is incredible.
this is the only way I want my daughter to see me. Thank you
BEST SONG EVER.... BROUGHT TEARS TO MY SISTERS AND I... SOUNDS JUST LIKE OUR OLD MAN.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US.
This Young lady has her own sound. She is Country to the Bone!! Love her music!!!
My Daddy passed away 3 years ago today. My sister came across this video and sent it to me about a year ago. Ashley, I can not express the emotions that this songs brings to my soul.

Sending you love and light and two thumbs up to your daddy’s taste in guitars. Rest in peace.
My cousin just introduced me to this song. So many of your words resonate with my dad. We lost him 6 months ago today. I miss him so much. Thanks so much for your talent.
Never heard of you darlin, and now I'm in love!!!
Real country and I've never heard it until today. Recording labels should be ashamed.
Victoria, Same here. I saw her for the first time last night on the CMA's singing girl going nowhere. Made me cry.
You can't help but love her; so genuine & beautiful!
I love amazing songwriters. When I heard the crowd sing with it brought me to tears. I’m a new fan!
Thank you for having the presence of mind to film this moment and share it with us.
Only one word to describe this. AMAZING!!!!
Her and Chris Stapleton need to go on tour together
collin Scott yes!!!!
Oh lord. Those two together are gonna make me cry. This is the first song I’ve ever heard from her and Chris Stapleton’s Broken Halos was played at my Uncles funeral in March, the very first time I heard it. My uncle and my Dad are a lot like the man she’s singing about, except they both let their daughters touch their guitars even though they weren’t made that way anymore. I had my Dad’s repaired in June. I’d give anything to find my Uncles guitars. Now I’ve gotta learn to play. This girl just sang my life in a song.
They are doing a show together in Atlanta with George Strait
They are! Country 2 country 10th march 2019 O2 London !
I literally just said this after listening to her for the first time
That last verse that was cut from record made me choke up. And it definitely shouldn't have been cut.
She is the most real performer I’ve ever seen…
Still got the 44 and Bibles, Praise our Fathers. That’s showshine sister, Thankyou !
Joyous and brimming with courage..yeah and dignity and lovely-just lovely, thanks Ashley you funny and bring a huge hearty lift to my soul...my fave bit..'we're with each other'
holy crap. I love real life and emotion and the amazing ways that artists can convey there love to the general population. This makes you feel like you are a part of of it but all you did is listen.
Ricky Bowles 👌👏
Ashley you are by far the best female singer and song writer I have heard or seen in the last ten years. You are truly AWESOME !!!!
Just amazing I love her raw emotion.
This hit me so hard 💙 Miss my daddy. This is him to to T 🙏🏻💙🙌🏻
I was blowed away when she started singing!
Some people need auto tune, back up singers and a large band. Ashley sounds better alone with her guitar. She is absolutely amazing, what a talent!
Just like Ed Sheeran just a guitar, no band, backup. Both have amazing talent baby to stand alone. WOW!!! That's good they don't have to share the financial benefits with anyone else. And both seem very humble and kind.
Yep beautiful 😍
I agree!!! She one of my all time favs
I usually listen to old country and discovered her music today by a "good accident" searching RUclips and I just love her music, humor, and voice! What a talent! I just want to say that you have a great, genuine talent and I appreciate your music! I'm now a forever fan, thank you! ❤️
So glad I grew up in the AME church
no fear just love and teaching
Hell yeah Arkansas Girl! We are so proud of you!
Seeing the man through his mistakes...God bless you Ashley.

Oh my goodness. This is my new favorite song. I love her voice. So pure and crystal clear. Love. Play. Repeat.
You go on right ahead and play it babygirl! God bless you Ashley McBryde! I'm a preachers daughter too! Love this song! AMEN sister! 😘😇🙏
Absolutely beautiful, pure emotion from the soul. God bless this little gal. Thanks Ashley!

You all can make your own judgments about the Church of Christ in that instance.
I ended up a decorated Vietnam Vet in those years but also had 3 kids who ended up decorated and w/ multiple college graduate degrees and military honors.
Make your own judgments....
Hell of a song Writer. She is Amazing . Keeping it Country 💜🎵🎤🎼
Haven't listened to one song by her that wasn't amazing! Very talented!!
❤️
I think about my mom when I hear this song. My mom is the strongest person I’ve ever met even though I don’t treat her like that and even though I should. I’ve listened to this song a bunch but this is the first time I cried while listening. Ashley, your voice, your art, your storytelling, your heart, amazing.
it's like ashley gave permission for the audience to join in...and you guys did great...gave me chills
One of the most heartfelt and beautiful songs and delivery I've heard... got it on repeat right now. Changed my life tonight; one more day gone and one more night to wear like a rainbow wrapped around a low dark cloud that is fast moving away on the horizon. The light is shining down. Gracias, amiga!
He had a Southern drawl like a red-bone hound
Every song he sang was my favorite sound
He'd be the last one off if the ship went down
Kinda man it feels good to be around
Kinda man it feels good to be around
Had hair as white as a cotton field
And he could spin you a story like a wagon wheel
Never went nowhere without a rod and reel
Lord I miss that man and I always will
I miss that man and I always will
He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
He carried a bible and a .44
And they just don't make 'em like that no more
Said, "take what you've got and do the best you can
Best thing you'll ever own is a piece of land"
Y'all he knew his like the back of his hand
He was something else, my old man
He was something else, my old man
He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
He carried a bible and a .44
And they just don't make 'em like that no more
Saw him strum this thing every chance he could
And he left it to me like he said he would
If you ask me why it sounds so good
It's 'cause I'm holdin' more than strings and wood
I'm holdin' more than strings and wood
He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
He carried a bible and a .44
And they just don't make 'em like that no more
No they just don't make 'em like that no more
Thank you for the lyrics..
John Harrison what lovely words.Came across this by accident. I’ll be coming back for more South Africa
👌🏻♥️🙌🏻
Reminds me of My Old Man
Sure do miss him too!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
why do people do this ? if you have a comment by all means post it . but why do people just post the words we all just heard?
I cried so ugly watching this .. i was raised with the belt and the bible and can definitely relate .. absolutely beautiful
Abosolutely fantastic artist. I make sure my daughter sees this. Country music needed this woman.
He showed a little girl how to be a man
I love that line so much
SAME. It definitely hit home.
This is honestly one of the best songs i have ever heard reminds me of my old man to the T. Good job girl
They dont make em like that no more. Songs truly from the heart, preformed with passion and filled with love.
I can not express how i feel as Ashley has sung such a touching song which touched and brought back memories
very dear to my heart.
i want to think about my father who has passed away.
A god in my eyes and I miss him as does Ashley in her song about her father.
So strong on her behalf to publicize her thoughts and I am touched by her honesty and I am so glad she has sung about it.
She has nailed the lines in her song saying how she feels regarding her father and much respect.
Ashley came out with the most meaningful line i have ever heard in my life, while listening live on You tube and other social media.
Cause i am holding more than strings and wood.
oh man that last verse should have stayed on the record.
Denise Nicole Holy Sheet... Yes! I was thinking the same thing!
That 1 verse adds so much to the story she is telling. It should have stayed. I miss the story tellers of country 😞
Absolutely should be, the song as good as it is, does not seem complete without that last verse now.
That last verse is icing on the cake... should have found a way to make it stay.
ABSOLUTELY!!!! IT IS HANDS DN THE BEST VERSE OF ALL!!! IF I HAD TO LEAVE ONE OUT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE THAT ONE!!!! BAD DECISION TO LEAVE THAT ONE OUT!!! BEST VERSE IN THE WHOLE DAMN SONG!!!!
I JUST FOUND HER PURELY BY ACCIDENT TODAY AND I BEEN PLAYING THIS ON MY GUITAR WITH HER ALL DAMNED DAY NOW!!!
BEST DAMNED ARTIST I HAVE HEARD IN FOREVER! REAL! DN TO EARTH! GREAT WRITTER!!! BEST DAMNED FEMALE VOICE AND FRANKLY ID TAKE HER OVER THE GUYS RT NOW!!!
THIS GIRL CAN SING!!!!
I play this on a regular basis in honour of my Grandad.
I have his guitar 🎸
And his organ. He could play any instrument by ear. He was always singing, whistling or talking to Gods creatures. Both him and his father fought in both World Wars.
He also taught me how to hunt, fish, & how to love Jesus.
His prayers are what saved me.
I've missed him every single day since the Lord called him home.
Over 12 years ago.
And I can't wait to see him again.
Great Song thanks Ashley from South Australia 🇦🇺
Love love love this song. Ashley you Rock... what a gift. ❤️🔥💪😎✌️

This is so beautiful. The story. The song. Her smile through the whole thing. And the crowd singing along.
Great video! I love that everyone knows this song, even across the pond!
My absolute favorite part of this entire video is her visible reaction to the audience singing along with her. Just goes to show that her music has impacted so many people in so many ways, and she got to witness it through her audience. Must be no other feeling like it.
My body involuntarily didn’t know what to do have chills or cry listening to this! You are blessed Mrs. McBryde!
As a dad of two teenage daughters in this crazy world I can honestly say if my girls wrote a song about me, or even felt like this about me, it would be the greatest compliment of my life. What a sweet way to say I love you to your dad. I love this song and appreciate your music. Ashley, Please keep true country alive by making more of this kind of music. Yours truly- A big fan.
Every person in that audience is hanging on to her every word and she is genuinely awed that they are finishing her sentences. This is pure emotion.
Every thing that I heard her sing is now on my play list
Thank you for sharing this with us, Ashley.
Shes great! She never forgot the Lord! What a wonderful musician!
My favorite song by you Ashley McBryde. Great musician..
I love to watch her live videos because she always has a back story and it helps humanize her words that much more. I loved the live at Opry when she got choked up. Someone else remarked about her genuine truth. Sing your truth! Meeting Ashley is definitely on my bucket list. Amazing Lady. Have not heard anything that wasn't close to home. Thank you Ashley Mcbryde!
Amen I wish I had story's like this I never knew my father. This touched me so deeply I had tears everywhere you nailed it Ashley

I grew up listening to the ladies of country music. Her voice, lyrics and music take me back. She is pretty amazing.

Just lost my step up daddy of 40yrs on the 10th of August and played this song for my sister...needless to say we both lost it. I miss that man more than I've ever missed anyone
Man this hit me hard. My dad through and through 💙..died at 49 & I miss him so much every day. God Bless 💙🙌🏻
I love everything thing she stands for and our world need more supportive strong people to help others learn they can lead the way also..winners never quit and quitters never win
