I just found out that Doug Supernaw passed away last year. It’s pathetic that the country media doesn’t tell you this. I totally relate to this song, and I was a fan. God bless you Doug. Rest In Peace bro!
Yup!! Listen to Gary Allan's song on here... 'Tough Little Boys', gets me every time! I left for Dessert Storm when my first daughter was 7 days old, tortured me for 8 months until I came home, count your blessings, especially if you have a great relationship with your children 🥰💓
My dad cried when this came on the radio when he picked me up for weekend custody rights. Solid guy to this day. Wish my parents could have got it together when they were kids. I decided to wait for stable finances and a solid marriage before having kids. Married 7 years with a great career and a paid off house at 33 years old. We're expecting our first born any day now... Counting my blessings right now!
@@I-love-bri You couldn't be more right. Got divorced earlier this year after 24.5 years together. Ultimately not enough trust, respect and love from both of us. Just dropped my son off a couple hours ago and happened to find this song by accident. Just a crushing life right now for me. Hoping things get better but it's hard to see any chance of promise right now.
The 90s were a very special time in music in general. Country music was definitely riding that wave, too. Country has not been the same, with a few exceptions since then. It was definitely a special time.
RIP Doug, you were one of the first country artists I fell in love with when I heard this song as a young boy growing up without my father. This song still brings a tear to my eye thirty years later
That line, how I hate the wounds that never seem to mend, hit home with me. It's been years since my dad passed away, I've learned to live with the that wound, but it's never really healed, and I don't think it ever will. My dad was my hero growing up, I idolized the man. Even now whenever I need a little guidance in life, I remember my dad and what he taught me. I know he's up in heaven looking down, and watching us. I'd give anything to see him again, to see his smile, and hear his laugh again. Rest in peace, Dad.
RIP Doug! I was a teenager in the 90’s when this song came out. I remember hearing it on the radio all the time. When I hear it now, it takes me back. Truly one of my favorite songs! And I think it’s so relatable. Many men find themselves in this very position. Doug Supernaw, you’re a legend. Fly high!
I remember my oldest son singing this song when he was about 5 yrs old and it was after his dad and I divorced. I also remember how painful it was to realize he understood what the song was about for such a young child at the time. Rip Doug... This song will always hold your memory for lots of us... 🙏❤️
I got lucky and my parents lived in the same town a few blocks from one another. Only thing I wish didn't happen was my mom bad mouth my dad so I wouldn't want anything to do with him. It ended up working until I had children of my own and my dad and I finally talking about the past. We have a great relationship now. Just wish she would have never done that. I held a grudge and sadly she passed away almost 5 years ago and I wish her and I were in a better place before that happened.
I been that guy who went through this situation it tears your heart apart to have to drop your children off and than argue with the mother to be able to see them again are spend time with your children because the new man in her life is jealous
William villa yeah it sucks ive never been through that part but when I was 16 my mom started cheating on my dad and left him for the other guy and I hated her. She tried to force the new guy on me and it got to the point when if I ever saw him I was gonna kill him but thankfully an hour before I had to go stay with her somehow I got excluded from the thing and wasn’t forced to stay with her. I know she’s my mom but I haven’t seen or talked to her since. This was a very short version of the story and I left out a lot of the harsh things my mom did to me and dad so don’t think I was overreacting because it went on for years before she finally admitted to everything that I already knew because my friends would send me texts saying that my mom had gotten out of her truck and into a van and was having sex with the guy in a random parking lot and it was horrible
"Dear Country Music, we have 2 rejoice that Doug Supernaw is in Heaven and he's having a good time singing songs in Heaven and so we'll see Doug again someday when God takes all of us 2 Heaven".
I never could sing this song without getting choked up hard. And now with my kids going through this it makes it hard for me to get a single lyric out. Thank you Doug for this song. Rest In Peace.
This song breaks my heart, I felt the same about my bio dad, I thought he walked on water when he was a pos who never paid my mom a dime in child support. My stepdad took care of my mom and I, while my dad got to swoop in once every few months with a gift like a skateboard I would break my neck on, and be a hero. My mom never talked bad about him in front of me though, she let me believe he was the greatest.
That makes two of us. Not only when I hear it but at karaoke, I decided to try it. Voice broke and had never heard a better response from a crowd from a song. It not only got to them, but also showed that the person singing can feel the song too.
I never knew my real dad. My grand parents raised me but my stepdad treated me as though I was his biological daughter. He was an awesome guy. He taught me how to drive and bought me lots of things. He's gone now but I was fortunate enough to have him in my life.
So true it's not right that the country music world doesn't tell you these things right away. A great 90:s artist. RIP Doug Love the music you released in the 90's❤
Crazy who and what this makes me think about. The call to serve just won’t leave me. My hearts in it and my heart is so big and I’m so hard headed when I want something I better go after it especially when that urge stays with me every moment of every day. It’s hard to wrestle God when He calls us for special work. I’m blessed to be an American and I’m free to say IN GOD WE TRUST & I would die to keep our country safe & to protect our structure the way it’s supposed to stand not the way it is. It’s a little crooked and needs some straightening out but we will get there. I have faith in US(A) ALL OF US
RIP Doug you are one of my hero’s. This has always been mine and my sons song. So Glad I got to talk to you a few years back. Your leading the angels now. Miss my hero
I have a 6 year old daughter and I'm in the same situation, and I've been 160 to 600 miles away from her, since she was born. I've had her from 50% of the time to about a weekend every 3 weekends, due to working where the money is. When I'm having a tough time and missing my lil, I may listen to this song 6 or 8 times in a row to remind me that there's a lot of us in similar situations and were all doing all we can to give em a better future. So Doug thank you for this song and the comfort its provided me the last 6 years(liked it when it came out, but it didn't hit the same til I was in the same situation). Rip and thank you for being completely approachable the couple times I met you and FOR THE MUSIC, THIS SONG ESPECIALLY. YOU PROBABLY HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY OF US THAT THIS SONG TOUCHED. HOPE YOURE UP THERE WITH WILLIE, HANK, MERLE, GEORGE AND YALL ARE ALL PLAYING THE HELL OUT OF IT, IN HEAVENS HONKY-TONK
My dad had a truck like that. We still have it. One day it will be one of my nephews. They love playing in it. It's a 1971 C-10. Unfortunately my dad passed away almost nine years ago
I remember my Dad picking me and my 2 brothers up on Friday and having to take us home on Sunday nights all the way up until we could drive on our own. I have a memory of being like 5 or 6 years old getting dropped off at my mom's crying in my room and my mom and step dad came in and asked what was wrong. I told them "I missed my Daddy". I am sure it was a tough thing to hear. They were all great parents however. I only called my real dad, "Dad" and my step-dad by his name. But I love them both the same.
Love this song by Doug rip sir 🙏 I remember this song when I was young boy me and step dad would ride out to the country to feed my uncles cows and this song would come on. I often thought about my real dad he never came around when I was a young boy long story short he came around when I was in my late teens. over the years found my real wasn't worth damn thankful for my step dad he taught how to be man. One of my favorite country songs!!
I had a step dad that was very good to me. But nobody could ever replace my daddy. Rip Don Geehr... aka Daddy... They don't make men like you anymore. You were not only a hero for your country, but my hero and rock. God how I miss you.....
I'm 58 now. My daughter turned 30 last month. Her momma and me were together 8 yrs. We lasted 4 months after she was born. Tore my world apart. Her momma is gone now. RIP. We never exchanged a cross word over my daughter till the day she died. I have 2 Granddaughters now. From that little 4 month old. God is good.
Song hits me hard AF to this very day... lost 5 kids and this song puts my in my feelings.. got left for older guy with money and house.. but, I do my best, thank you for this song! I feel that!!!
My daddy passed away April the 4th 2022 and this song hits home for me cause my husband daddy is still alive but I don't call him daddy he takes care of me but he never take my daddy's place
This song has always gotten me in the heart. When I remarried, my son's dad disappeared from our lives. Little did he know, my husband could never, ever take his place. And, my son has never called his stepfather "Daddy." 💖 Did not realize we'd lost Doug. Rest in peace and Power, Sir. 🙏
Who still listens to this song in 2021? I DO. R.I.P Doug. I wonder what ever happened to the little boy that's in this video. I know he's all grown up. I would love to meet him and hang out with him.
This song reminds me of my cousin when my uncle would pick him up on the weekends from his mother’s house. It was a blessing that he got to move in permanently with his dad/ my uncle, at 12yrs old. My cousin is 37yrs old now and my uncle never got remarried. It was songs like this that we grew up on. Not holding a phone or playing video games, but instead we where fishing, hunting and camping. Riding that old Honda ATV keeping up with the beagles. Well it sucks that as of tonight while reading through the comments I see that Doug Supernaw has passed away. Can’t believe it’s been 2 yrs now. And it’s the dangdest thing, because as of tonight I have also come to find out that Bobby Flores has also been dead for a year now. It’s been tough these past 4 years. The greats from the 90’s are passing away it seems.😢
I drove a 1979 Ford F250 4x4 with a 12 inch lift and 40 inch tires,,,my Lil Feller rode next to me standing on the seat with his little arm around my neck,,,I love that boy more than life its self,,,all I dressed him in was his leather cowboy boots,levis and flanneled shirts,,,he was my side kick,,,it was a rough time having to take him home,,,I finally got him and he lived with me,,,he lives in a house 1 mile from my house now days and is 29 years old and I'm just as proud of him today as then,,,he's 6 ft 4 inchs tall and 265 pounds and I still call him my "Lil buddy" Praise God
Dad is a title earned, if stepdad is worth the title, there is nothing wrong with 2 dads, and I have 2 kids and that's with 2 different women, so if my son or daughter claims to have 2 fathers that's why
I disagree. I have two biological kids and two I have raised almost from birth. The oldest was almost three when me and my girlfriend got together. We have had to get an op on their sperm donor and he even tried to kidnap the kids to spite my girlfriend. He wants to play dad, but never wants to step up to the plate when it comes to doing dad duties. Never helps pay for birthday parties never helps out with anything. And yes, he pays child support, but he pays less on two kids by her than I pay on the one I have with my ex, and he makes more money per hour and works more hours than I do. I am those boys fsther, not him. When and if he ever steps up his game, then he can be daddy, and they will have two daddy's, but they will always know me as dad because I have been there since before they can remember. And no, we didn't coerce them into calling me dad. Just one day, my middle child said I love you dad, and it stuck. Then the oldest started calling me dad. Just like my girlfriend is momma carry to my oldest biological son. And his mom is the one that started that. So yes, it is possible to have two sets of parents.
Damn right lady, I didn't allow my girls to call anyone else Dad, the freaking roof would come off and somebody would be in the Hospital!!😠My girls and I have a great relationship and they always came first in my life, no matter what!!!! Thanks for being the way you are, so many females out there use situations like that to put a thorn in a man's side for our damn spite!!! Shame some can't get their due!!!
There's alot of parents in the comments lol... I remember being like 9 years old and hearing this song and then playing it everyday... My dad walked out of my life when I was 8 years old... Broke my heart. I was a totally daddy's girl. My mama remarried when I was 10... My stepdad was a great man, was a dad to me when my dad wasn't there. But he wasn't my daddy. Never once called my stepdad my dad. My real dad came back into my life when I was about 14 and honestly my dads my best friend. I'm 18 now and my dad and I talk all the time, always there when I need him and Lord knows I've needed him alot these past couple of years... I'm beyond thankful for the relationship I have with my dad and I'm beyond thankful to have had a step dad that stepped up to the plate and was a dad when I needed one. ❤️
Sorry to hear about Doug Supernaw’s passing. This is one of my favorite song’s of all time. Meant a lot to me as a kid dealing with my parents’ divorce and even more when I went through my own and the relationship I have with my son. Thanks for the wonderful song Doug and rest easy
Rest in Peace Doug! I listened to this song a lot when my daughter was a baby used to bring me to tears....funny 25 years later I am realizing how dusty my house is suddenly
This song has always been heavy, my high school crush and I saw him in concert in a bar in a small town in Oklahoma, he played until 4 in the morning, literally the best concert ever, 25 years later as a single dad with custody of 3 kids this hits way harder.... God Bless Doug Supernaw.
When I had my first child 18 years ago and I seperated from his mom, this song spoke volumes to me. I still listen to it even though he's legally an adult now.
I get it man. My boy is 24, and my grandson is 9, and it still tears me up today, cause I never had the quality time I was wanting back when. A failing rodeo career, and a done failed marriage, it was just a matter of time before the shit hit the fan. Hang in there bubba. Your baby boy will find the truth just like mine did, and you'll have him in your life soon.
This guy is a true legend. This song has so much truth. When the world becomes to much to handle just crank it up. RIP glad I could call you a friend Doug.
I just came out of a pretty rough relationship. The only thing that kept me going was her son. His own father wasn't around, so I treated him as if he was my own. His mom and I can't seem to get along, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see him again. He always called me his best friend and he made my life so much brighter. "God bless the little hearts, they're the ones who really pay" gets me every time because he's the innocent one in all of this.
Hey man, don't you know that he'll find you. If you're his best friend, and his dad, he'll find you no matter what. Kids don't forget who was good to them. Just make sure your name and number is out there so he can find you. I know, I had a failed rodeo career, and a horseshit marriage, then I reconnected with my son, and now I've got a 9 year old grandson, so don't ever give up hope, man. If they truly love you, they will find you, always remember that, though ya might have to search for them a little bit, but I recon it will be worth it in the end.
My son hasn't seen his kids in 8 years still married I assume because she has to give visitation I love them as much as I ever did i will worry the rest of my life I'm sure he feels much worse God bless all the children and let them know who truly loves them
I've been though same thing rasied my daughter for 10 years not my actual daughter entered her life she's was 2. Divorced when she was 12 haven't been able to talk to her much since but she called the other day and still calls me dad.
My dad worked in a Texas oil field when I was born but when it shut down when I was two years old my family moved to out to California because there were better job opportunities there in the late 80's. Sometime in the first year after we moved my mom and dad got a divorce. After the divorce one of my dad's old oil field buddies came looking for him. The friend was planning on going to Alaska or the Klondike to become a gold miner and wanted my dad to join him as a full partner. But my dad said no because he wanted to stay in California to see me grow up and be in my life.
I'm here in odessa and my lil is in Seymour and when work keeps me away those 3 weeks this song has always been there to help me feel better knowing there's a bunch of us in the same situation. Rip doug
My dad had the opportunity to go on the road as a manager for a local band that was going to be opening on tour for George Strait. Dad turned them down because being a family man was more important to him.
I didn't realize that's his real son in this video. ❤ I was reading that they haven't had the best relationship, and they reconciled in 2017. His son plays for the Tennessee Titans. And now, a couple months ago, Doug was diagnosed with stage IV lung and bladder cancer. So sad.
This song is my late dad and my older brother, my dad's first born with his first wife. It always felt like we barely had him at all during those every other weekends and it always seemed like they were just always able to do things together without us. I'm glad dad at least had us cause it was rough when my brother was old enough to decide that he didn't want to visit anymore. The silver lining to the story is that many many years later we finally got to see him again and build a little bit of a new relationship with him. We still don't see him much and there were still some hurt feelings but at least he was part of our lives again before dad passed away.
We need songs like this to keep life in perspective. We've all been there; sometimes you gotta swallow the lump in your throat, blink away the mist in your eyes, and keep going.
R.i.p doug this was one of my favorite songs as a child my parents were split up and I lived with dad..I didnt see my mother much as a child so this song would make me cry like a baby every time I heard it..I used to sing "I dont call her mommy she could never be like you" lol

I just found out that Doug Supernaw passed away last year. It’s pathetic that the country media doesn’t tell you this. I totally relate to this song, and I was a fan. God bless you Doug. Rest In Peace bro!
Those who love Doug will remember him. One of the greatest ever…
😢😢😢
Thanks.
Whatb
This hits home. Hard....
Make a grown ass man cry hearing this song
Yup!! Listen to Gary Allan's song on here... 'Tough Little Boys', gets me every time! I left for Dessert Storm when my first daughter was 7 days old, tortured me for 8 months until I came home, count your blessings, especially if you have a great relationship with your children 🥰💓
Heels4395 Dakota Salisbury
For sure
Hit me like a brick wall out of nowhere...
Yes it does
My dad cried when this came on the radio when he picked me up for weekend custody rights. Solid guy to this day. Wish my parents could have got it together when they were kids. I decided to wait for stable finances and a solid marriage before having kids. Married 7 years with a great career and a paid off house at 33 years old. We're expecting our first born any day now... Counting my blessings right now!
That’s awesome!!!!
You don't have to have a great job or even a job to make a relationship good. It's love trust and respect bot money
God bless you
@Jewel Clark Thanks to everyone for the kind words. He was born in late March. Healthy baby, healthy mom, happy dad.
@@I-love-bri You couldn't be more right. Got divorced earlier this year after 24.5 years together. Ultimately not enough trust, respect and love from both of us. Just dropped my son off a couple hours ago and happened to find this song by accident. Just a crushing life right now for me. Hoping things get better but it's hard to see any chance of promise right now.
God bless all the daddys who did everything they possibly could to be a father with just every other weekend to do it with.
Rest In Peace Doug. As a single father (with a pickup exactly like that) this song hits home like no other. Fly high cowboy. We will miss you
I wonder if you have a 6.2 L diesel in your truck?
@@kentcoble3412 I have an 84 with a 402 and an 89 with a 454
I am a single dad and I have a truck just like that my has a 454
his son sure nailed it in this song .
I know he must be missing his dad.
RIP Doug
Hi I'm just seeing this what happened?
Doug passed away this morning now im playing all his songs just heard from his wife about it RIP Doug
My heart is just broken.
@@doctormandan8978 it's not just yours.
@@doctormandan8978 it's also mine
Nooooooooooooooo😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
@Big Mike ...And keep playing them....
How many daddy‘s can watch and listen to this without a tear?
Not any true dad's I know I cant
Not many
Rest In Peace, Doug. You’re singing with the angels now.
What the? Doug is dead ?
After I listen to this, I'm looking it up.
I wasn't aware of this either.
I didn't know that either
I wasn’t aware
Wtf no he’s not dead no way
Country music isn’t what it used to be! I miss the 90s. Now it’s all pop county. The old ways are dead.....
I agree not same I miss 90s country to
Agreed
Agreed
The 90s were a very special time in music in general. Country music was definitely riding that wave, too. Country has not been the same, with a few exceptions since then. It was definitely a special time.
Upchurch is bringing it back.
“There’s so much I need to tell him, so precious little time”
That hits hard
The scene where his boy drops his teddy bear horse for the real pony hits hard as fuck!! Rest In Peace Doug.
Yes it does felt the same way
R.I.P. Doug Supernaw. Thank you for the great songs!
Was working a rodeo in Oklahoma years ago and met him
Good guy with a bunch of life stories.
RIP Doug.
RIP Doug, you were one of the first country artists I fell in love with when I heard this song as a young boy growing up without my father. This song still brings a tear to my eye thirty years later
RIP DOUG so many memories of 90s honky tonks, two steppin and women because of your music.
That line, how I hate the wounds that never seem to mend, hit home with me. It's been years since my dad passed away, I've learned to live with the that wound, but it's never really healed, and I don't think it ever will. My dad was my hero growing up, I idolized the man. Even now whenever I need a little guidance in life, I remember my dad and what he taught me. I know he's up in heaven looking down, and watching us. I'd give anything to see him again, to see his smile, and hear his laugh again. Rest in peace, Dad.
Same here bro😢
I remember those days my dad picked me up in a big old brown '76 GMC and he'd let me sit on his lap and steer the backroads
RIP Doug! I was a teenager in the 90’s when this song came out. I remember hearing it on the radio all the time. When I hear it now, it takes me back. Truly one of my favorite songs! And I think it’s so relatable. Many men find themselves in this very position. Doug Supernaw, you’re a legend. Fly high!
Just heard it for the first time this morning I think of my boys and a grandson
Very well stated and i'm in total agreement with your comment.
I remember my oldest son singing this song when he was about 5 yrs old and it was after his dad and I divorced.
I also remember how painful it was to realize he understood what the song was about for such a young child at the time.
Rip Doug... This song will always hold your memory for lots of us... 🙏❤️
ALOT of sorry AZZ women out there...
Hello,how you doing today??Thanks for your love and support❤❤❤
God bless, Doug Supernaw! Cancer sucks... everyone keep Doug in your prayers, he's in hospice care at this very moment.
Really miss the 80's and 90's sound. More so, now that demon cancer took away one more original. RIP, Doug.
R.I.P Doug. I listened to this song over and over on a cassette when I was little and my mom and dad got divorced! It helped me so much! Thanks Doug
My daddy died 2 years ago. I'm 35 and only got him for the last 3 years of his life but it was the best 3 years it could be.
May Almighty grant us fathers many years to see our children and our children to enjoy being with us... Rest In Peace Doug
When he turns his hat and drives away, that kills me!
I got lucky and my parents lived in the same town a few blocks from one another. Only thing I wish didn't happen was my mom bad mouth my dad so I wouldn't want anything to do with him. It ended up working until I had children of my own and my dad and I finally talking about the past. We have a great relationship now. Just wish she would have never done that. I held a grudge and sadly she passed away almost 5 years ago and I wish her and I were in a better place before that happened.
same here
Jessica Duarte shit girl me to that hit hard cause I’ve been that dude in real life it kills me also brought a tear to my eye
I been that guy who went through this situation it tears your heart apart to have to drop your children off and than argue with the mother to be able to see them again are spend time with your children because the new man in her life is jealous
William villa yeah it sucks ive never been through that part but when I was 16 my mom started cheating on my dad and left him for the other guy and I hated her.

Song speaks volumes, they don't make them like this anymore. RIP Doug!
"Dear Country Music, we have 2 rejoice that Doug Supernaw is in Heaven and he's having a good time singing songs in Heaven and so we'll see Doug again someday when God takes all of us 2 Heaven".
I never could sing this song without getting choked up hard. And now with my kids going through this it makes it hard for me to get a single lyric out. Thank you Doug for this song. Rest In Peace.
This song breaks my heart, I felt the same about my bio dad, I thought he walked on water when he was a pos who never paid my mom a dime in child support. My stepdad took care of my mom and I, while my dad got to swoop in once every few months with a gift like a skateboard I would break my neck on, and be a hero. My mom never talked bad about him in front of me though, she let me believe he was the greatest.
That makes two of us. Not only when I hear it but at karaoke, I decided to try it. Voice broke and had never heard a better response from a crowd from a song. It not only got to them, but also showed that the person singing can feel the song too.
This song was mine and my dads song. I’m at his funeral now… have to listen to this. Love you dad
I never knew my real dad. My grand parents raised me but my stepdad treated me as though I was his biological daughter. He was an awesome guy. He taught me how to drive and bought me lots of things. He's gone now but I was fortunate enough to have him in my life.
So true it's not right that the country music world doesn't tell you these things right away.
A great 90:s artist. RIP Doug
Love the music you released in the 90's❤
RIP Doug. Texas loves you. Your music is etched on our souls.
My uncle I'm glad I was litte when we made this
RIP, Doug; I remember this song really well. Prayers for his family.
Sending prayers for Doug and family 👪 ❤ your music will go on forever ❤ 🙏
Crazy who and what this makes me think about. The call to serve just won’t leave me. My hearts in it and my heart is so big and I’m so hard headed when I want something I better go after it especially when that urge stays with me every moment of every day. It’s hard to wrestle God when He calls us for special work. I’m blessed to be an American and I’m free to say IN GOD WE TRUST & I would die to keep our country safe & to protect our structure the way it’s supposed to stand not the way it is. It’s a little crooked and needs some straightening out but we will get there. I have faith in US(A) ALL OF US
RIP Doug you are one of my hero’s. This has always been mine and my sons song. So
Glad I got to talk to you a few years back. Your leading the angels now. Miss my hero
I have a 6 year old daughter and I'm in the same situation, and I've been 160 to 600 miles away from her, since she was born. I've had her from 50% of the time to about a weekend every 3 weekends, due to working where the money is.
When I'm having a tough time and missing my lil, I may listen to this song 6 or 8 times in a row to remind me that there's a lot of us in similar situations and were all doing all we can to give em a better future.
So Doug thank you for this song and the comfort its provided me the last 6 years(liked it when it came out, but it didn't hit the same til I was in the same situation). Rip and thank you for being completely approachable the couple times I met you and FOR THE MUSIC, THIS SONG ESPECIALLY. YOU PROBABLY HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY OF US THAT THIS SONG TOUCHED.
HOPE YOURE UP THERE WITH WILLIE, HANK, MERLE, GEORGE AND YALL ARE ALL PLAYING THE HELL OUT OF IT, IN HEAVENS HONKY-TONK
Douglas Anderson Supernaw 9/26/60-11/13/20.. Rest In Heaven with the best, Doug, we love and miss you❤️🌹
My dad had a truck like that. We still have it. One day it will be one of my nephews. They love playing in it. It's a 1971 C-10. Unfortunately my dad passed away almost nine years ago
This is a mid 80s Silverado..
i remember singing this song with my dad in his truck on the way home rip dad i miss you
I remember my Dad picking me and my 2 brothers up on Friday and having to take us home on Sunday nights all the way up until we could drive on our own. I have a memory of being like 5 or 6 years old getting dropped off at my mom's crying in my room and my mom and step dad came in and asked what was wrong. I told them "I missed my Daddy". I am sure it was a tough thing to hear. They were all great parents however. I only called my real dad, "Dad" and my step-dad by his name. But I love them both the same.
Rest In Peace Doug supernaw. I’m glad we have RUclips so we can continue listening to your great and real country songs.
God bless this man's family. Weve lost yet another great American country singer.
Rip Doug Supernaw, you'll be missed by so many. Prayers for all your friends, family and fans. 💔💔💔💔

Love this song by Doug rip sir 🙏 I remember this song when I was young boy me and step dad would ride out to the country to feed my uncles cows and this song would come on. I often thought about my real dad he never came around when I was a young boy long story short he came around when I was in my late teens. over the years found my real wasn't worth damn thankful for my step dad he taught how to be man. One of my favorite country songs!!
He may be gone but his songs will continue to be played. I love this song but the scene where his Son says I don’t want to go home.
I don't call him dad either my father is the man who kept me safe
I had a step dad that was very good to me. But nobody could ever replace my daddy. Rip Don Geehr... aka Daddy... They don't
make men like you anymore. You were not only a hero for your country, but my hero and rock. God how I miss you.....
I'm 58 now. My daughter turned 30 last month. Her momma and me were together 8 yrs. We lasted 4 months after she was born. Tore my world apart. Her momma is gone now. RIP. We never exchanged a cross word over my daughter till the day she died. I have 2 Granddaughters now. From that little 4 month old. God is good.
Doug Supernaw is so unappreciated and underrated.
My son has said if you and mom break up I will never call anyone else dad you are my dad😊
...RIP, Doug...you had some fine “country” songs

Song hits me hard AF to this very day... lost 5 kids and this song puts my in my feelings.. got left for older guy with money and house.. but, I do my best, thank you for this song! I feel that!!!
My daddy passed away April the 4th 2022 and this song hits home for me cause my husband daddy is still alive but I don't call him daddy he takes care of me but he never take my daddy's place
Always LOVED this one! I’m sure it helped a lot of dads. Thanks Doug! RIP
This song reminds me of a Lil boy I used to know. His Daddy was his hero!
This song has always gotten me in the heart. When I remarried, my son's dad disappeared from our lives. Little did he know, my husband could never, ever take his place. And, my son has never called his stepfather "Daddy." 💖
Did not realize we'd lost Doug. Rest in peace and Power, Sir. 🙏
Amen on that song, brings my mental status pray to God and realize how much we have it the best for the US.
Who still listens to this song in 2021? I DO. R.I.P Doug. I wonder what ever happened to the little boy that's in this video. I know he's all grown up. I would love to meet him and hang out with him.
He will live forever in our hearts because of this song. Love your family while you have them and God bless all of you for remembering him.

This song reminds me of my cousin when my uncle would pick him up on the weekends from his mother’s house. It was a blessing that he got to move in permanently with his dad/ my uncle, at 12yrs old. My cousin is 37yrs old now and my uncle never got remarried. It was songs like this that we grew up on. Not holding a phone or playing video games, but instead we where fishing, hunting and camping. Riding that old Honda ATV keeping up with the beagles. Well it sucks that as of tonight while reading through the comments I see that Doug Supernaw has passed away. Can’t believe it’s been 2 yrs now. And it’s the dangdest thing, because as of tonight I have also come to find out that Bobby Flores has also been dead for a year now. It’s been tough these past 4 years. The greats from the 90’s are passing away it seems.😢
My Dad died when i was 2 years never had a chance to see him ,but where ever you are Dad, i still love u
My dad too ,I still miss him
Rest in Peace Doug, Thanks for the great music!!!
Love this song I was lucky enough to have my parents together my whole life
Single father here to four, hits home, Doug. I want to join your band up there some day. RIP
I drove a 1979 Ford F250 4x4 with a 12 inch lift and 40 inch tires,,,my Lil Feller rode next to me standing on the seat with his little arm around my neck,,,I love that boy more than life its self,,,all I dressed him in was his leather cowboy boots,levis and flanneled shirts,,,he was my side kick,,,it was a rough time having to take him home,,,I finally got him and he lived with me,,,he lives in a house 1 mile from my house now days and is 29 years old and I'm just as proud of him today as then,,,he's 6 ft 4 inchs tall and 265 pounds and I still call him my "Lil buddy" Praise God
My ex’ and I couldn’t get along but never have I allowed my Kids to call anyone else dad. They have one dad only.
Amen
Dad is a title earned, if stepdad is worth the title, there is nothing wrong with 2 dads, and I have 2 kids and that's with 2 different women, so if my son or daughter claims to have 2 fathers that's why
I disagree. I have two biological kids and two I have raised almost from birth. The oldest was almost three when me and my girlfriend got together. We have had to get an op on their sperm donor and he even tried to kidnap the kids to spite my girlfriend. He wants to play dad, but never wants to step up to the plate when it comes to doing dad duties. Never helps pay for birthday parties never helps out with anything. And yes, he pays child support, but he pays less on two kids by her than I pay on the one I have with my ex, and he makes more money per hour and works more hours than I do. I am those boys fsther, not him. When and if he ever steps up his game, then he can be daddy, and they will have two daddy's, but they will always know me as dad because I have been there since before they can remember. And no, we didn't coerce them into calling me dad. Just one day, my middle child said I love you dad, and it stuck. Then the oldest started calling me dad. Just like my girlfriend is momma carry to my oldest biological son. And his mom is the one that started that. So yes, it is possible to have two sets of parents.
Damn right lady, I didn't allow my girls to call anyone else Dad, the freaking roof would come off and somebody would be in the Hospital!!😠My girls and I have a great relationship and they always came first in my life, no matter what!!!! Thanks for being the way you are, so many females out there use situations like that to put a thorn in a man's side for our damn spite!!! Shame some can't get their due!!!
Heels4395 same here
There's alot of parents in the comments lol... I remember being like 9 years old and hearing this song and then playing it everyday... My dad walked out of my life when I was 8 years old... Broke my heart. I was a totally daddy's girl. My mama remarried when I was 10... My stepdad was a great man, was a dad to me when my dad wasn't there. But he wasn't my daddy. Never once called my stepdad my dad. My real dad came back into my life when I was about 14 and honestly my dads my best friend. I'm 18 now and my dad and I talk all the time, always there when I need him and Lord knows I've needed him alot these past couple of years... I'm beyond thankful for the relationship I have with my dad and I'm beyond thankful to have had a step dad that stepped up to the plate and was a dad when I needed one. ❤️
sad day here in my hometown yesterday. Doug was born 60 years ago here in my hometown. Dude had his troubles but he was a damn good singer
RIP brother you’re gone but not forgotten!! You’re music will live on!!
Rest in Peace.
Amen!
He is singing with the Angels and all the other country greats like: Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams and all the rest of them.
Sorry to hear about Doug Supernaw’s passing. This is one of my favorite song’s of all time. Meant a lot to me as a kid dealing with my parents’ divorce and even more when I went through my own and the relationship I have with my son. Thanks for the wonderful song Doug and rest easy
Wow...heard this song a thousand times and it still brings me to tears hearing it....
I miss u daddy I pray you walk back to the door r.i.p. daddy
Rest in Peace Doug! I listened to this song a lot when my daughter was a baby used to bring me to tears....funny 25 years later I am realizing how dusty my house is suddenly
This song has always been heavy, my high school crush and I saw him in concert in a bar in a small town in Oklahoma, he played until 4 in the morning, literally the best concert ever, 25 years later as a single dad with custody of 3 kids this hits way harder.... God Bless Doug Supernaw.
When I had my first child 18 years ago and I seperated from his mom, this song spoke volumes to me. I still listen to it even though he's legally an adult now.

I get it man. My boy is 24, and my grandson is 9, and it still tears me up today, cause I never had the quality time I was wanting back when. A failing rodeo career, and a done failed marriage, it was just a matter of time before the shit hit the fan. Hang in there bubba. Your baby boy will find the truth just like mine did, and you'll have him in your life soon.
Rest in peace Doug,I can't believe you're gone,breaks my heart...
2021 and still coming back to this... RIP Doug. If there was ever a time you wanted to see a grown many cry.. play this.
Rest in peace Doug that song always brings tears to my eyes you lived it and I lived it God bless you
Loved this song growing up. Haven’t heard it in forever. Now I remember why I loved it so much! RIP Doug
This song feels so good but hits right where it hurts.
This guy is a true legend. This song has so much truth. When the world becomes to much to handle just crank it up. RIP glad I could call you a friend Doug.
I just came out of a pretty rough relationship. The only thing that kept me going was her son. His own father wasn't around, so I treated him as if he was my own. His mom and I can't seem to get along, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see him again. He always called me his best friend and he made my life so much brighter. "God bless the little hearts, they're the ones who really pay" gets me every time because he's the innocent one in all of this.
Shaun Smith I'm sorry. I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me with my ex's daughter.
Hey man, don't you know that he'll find you. If you're his best friend, and his dad, he'll find you no matter what. Kids don't forget who was good to them. Just make sure your name and number is out there so he can find you. I know, I had a failed rodeo career, and a horseshit marriage, then I reconnected with my son, and now I've got a 9 year old grandson, so don't ever give up hope, man. If they truly love you, they will find you, always remember that, though ya might have to search for them a little bit, but I recon it will be worth it in the end.
I hope you stay in touch with the young man. That's awesome that he calls you his bed friend. My son called my 1st husband Dad
My son hasn't seen his kids in 8 years still married I assume because she has to give visitation I love them as much as I ever did i will worry the rest of my life I'm sure he feels much worse God bless all the children and let them know who truly loves them
I've been though same thing rasied my daughter for 10 years not my actual daughter entered her life she's was 2. Divorced when she was 12 haven't been able to talk to her much since but she called the other day and still calls me dad.
Rip Doug! Today we lost one of the best. You will be missed!
RIP brother most underrated country singer of your time you will be missed ,I will miss you
R.I.P Doug Supernaw🤠🇺🇸
My dad worked in a Texas oil field when I was born but when it shut down when I was two years old my family moved to out to California because there were better job opportunities there in the late 80's. Sometime in the first year after we moved my mom and dad got a divorce. After the divorce one of my dad's old oil field buddies came looking for him. The friend was planning on going to Alaska or the Klondike to become a gold miner and wanted my dad to join him as a full partner. But my dad said no because he wanted to stay in California to see me grow up and be in my life.
That is what good men do. They sacrifice for their family.
I'm here in odessa and my lil is in Seymour and when work keeps me away those 3 weeks this song has always been there to help me feel better knowing there's a bunch of us in the same situation. Rip doug
My dad had the opportunity to go on the road as a manager for a local band that was going to be opening on tour for George Strait. Dad turned them down because being a family man was more important to him.
That line "tears of understanding streak down a dirty face" gets me every time.
omg yes
Totally agree man. I will never leave my wife or these precious children of mine
Me too!!
I didn't realize that's his real son in this video. ❤ I was reading that they haven't had the best relationship, and they reconciled in 2017. His son plays for the Tennessee Titans. And now, a couple months ago, Doug was diagnosed with stage IV lung and bladder cancer. So sad.
Two dimes to make a phone call, that's about all I got. Gets me every time.
2 beautiful kids with 2 evil mother's... Forever a heartbroken daddy
Facts. Amen
RIP Doug. You’ll be missed. 😢
Watching my son go through this with his son is heartbreaking
This song is my late dad and my older brother, my dad's first born with his first wife. It always felt like we barely had him at all during those every other weekends and it always seemed like they were just always able to do things together without us. I'm glad dad at least had us cause it was rough when my brother was old enough to decide that he didn't want to visit anymore.
The silver lining to the story is that many many years later we finally got to see him again and build a little bit of a new relationship with him. We still don't see him much and there were still some hurt feelings but at least he was part of our lives again before dad passed away.
Love this song as a kid. Made me think of my father when I was a kid. Didn't see him very much.
How many good Men can relate to this song !
We need songs like this to keep life in perspective. We've all been there; sometimes you gotta swallow the lump in your throat, blink away the mist in your eyes, and keep going.
My son used to love this song, when he was little. I know he related to it. RIP and good health, Doug. ❤️❤️
R.i.p doug this was one of my favorite songs as a child my parents were split up and I lived with dad..I didnt see my mother much as a child so this song would make me cry like a baby every time I heard it..I used to sing "I dont call her mommy she could never be like you" lol
May Doug rests in peace, He just past away today from a long battle with Cancer. November 13, 2020.
