We played this song for my Dad at his funeral.. he worked at ford for 35 years, before that he worked in a forge, before that he was a sergeant in Vietnam. This song 100% describes him
My dad's leaving the world soon. He was a railroad man and a proud union supporter.. Thank you Dick Brookman for everything you taught me. You survived a alcoholic father and never once spoke bad of him. You lost your beloved mother on your 27th birthday. The love of your life my mother divorced you after 25 years of marriage. You lost your third child when she was 41. Dad this song is dedicated to your never giving up. I will always be your baby boo
My grandpa just passed away on November 20th. When I first heard this song, I was 18 and angry at him for whatever stupid reason. Now, I hear it and think about all the times he was there for me. I love you, Grandpa. ❤️
I remember hearing this on the Chevrolet commercial and thinking, I wish I would meet a man like this song. Almost four years later and my fiance and I are still going strong. This song is all about him.
This is my husband and cowboy. Every day he stays strong for me and our kids. He works hard to provide for us and still comes home and takes care of us. He doesn't complain, he just reminds us he loves us. I am so blessed that God put you in my life and blessed you and I with our babies. I love you my cowboy and will till the end of time. Love your blue eyes 💕
Thank you, blue eyes. I never believed in love until you came into my life. I remember I told you I would run like the wild horses in the hills. I thought I was a though strong cowboy living like the devil, but I was dead wrong. A true cowboy never backs down he never compromises he has honor and respect he always stands up for the little guy he loves his horses more than himself and most of all he loves Jesus Christ and the beautiful lady that God brought to him when everyone thought the worst of him. Thank you for loving me now I have a safe place to lay my head. Thank you, blue eyes. I will always love you until my last days.
@WesternGrit1968 Just want to say God bless you two. I lost my wife and child seven years ago now. I got a tear or two from reading this. Don't take it for granted. Life is fragile and fleeting. God Bless!
Every year i listen to this song. It takes everything ive got to not cry. It reminds me heavily of my grandfather. The man that taught me alot i know and some things i never realized till i got older. He was always there to help. Always one i could count on. When i needed help. Rip granddad. Your missed more than you could ever imagine ya hard ass
♡ they ( those we love ) never go away really.. we think its us thinking about them when they are in our thoughts,hearts and minds,but it's trally their only way to show us that they've never forgotten us and purely there 💜
This song reminds me of my uncle who died suddenly at 39. This song is the definition of him. I miss him every day and would do anything to take his place.
Incredibly motivating song. Will Hoge has the incredible ability to transcend country music to appeal to people who normally wouldn't listen to the genre. Proof that good writing and musicianship is what people really want today. Thank you, sir.....
I'm sure I'm one of many who thinks this, but my father comes to mind every goddamn time. I respect and look up to no other person than him. His sacrifice, his will, and his love for his sons and family is something people like Mr Hoge writes songs about. Although he is getting older now, he's still the same goddamn stubborn, headstrong bastard I knew from when I was young. This beer's for you, Daddy.
I love the song it is wonderful !!! It seems as though the lyrics were written about my Daddy; Harold Joseph Holden. He died Friday, Aug 5, 2016. We had his service Monday, 8/8 it was played with other songs during the slide show of his childhood - current pictures.. We had a Celebration of my Daddys life along with his friends & family at Williams and Son Funeral Home.
I am an r&b and soul type of girl, but I discovered you this morning. your voice, your lyrics, your ability to tell a story is simply amazing!! you have gained a fan for life.
This song reminds me if my grandfather, they dont make 'em like him anymore. I strive to be more like him in my life and these are the men boys need to become real men who get things done.
Lyrics He's a twenty year straight get to work on time He's a love one woman for all his life He's a shirt off his back give you his last dime He's strong He's a need to move something you can use my truck He's an overtime worker when the bills pile up Everybody knows he ain't just tough He's strong Strong He'll pick you up and won't let you down Rock solid inside out Somebody you can trust Steady as the sun Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on He's strong It ain't what he can carry what he can lift It's a dirt road lesson talkin to his kids Bout how to hold your ground and how to live Strong He's strong He'll pick you up and won't let you down Rock solid inside out Somebody you can trust Steady as the sun Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on He's strong Strong Like the river rollin' Strong Gonna keep on going Strong When the road runs out They gonna keep on talkin about How he was strong Strong He'll pick you up and won't let you down Rock solid inside out Somebody you can trust Steady as the sun Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on He's strong Everybody knows he ain't just tough He's strong
Will I'm from a small town called Lometa in Texas. My buddies laugh when I say I wanna hear this Its us in a small town hard working When it plays. We all shut up! We whis football was everything and hauling hay. Lometa TX we are strong
had to find this song... so I went to Waffle House and played this song because I sold a house to a guy with the same name of Will Hoge... well, i'd forgotten about the music when my meal came, then this young black man on the waitstaff came up to me and asked if i'd played this one... he said, 'man, I love this song'... I was like, i've never heard the song but the guy writes good stuff... his fanbase is fairly diverse if he's got highschoolers listening... so i like the song now that i can hear it beyond the diner noise...
I know a guy who knows him and I asked what kind of mucus he makes and he said sort of country but not really and then I watched this and now I am confused
What about women that are like that! He won’t let the girl get in his life bc he’s not the man that he wants to be. He’s not that bad but he’s strong enough to hurt her
So many comments about Dads....Lost my dad in 2018 and played this at his funeral. I come here yearly.....What am amazing song. Miss you Bud!

This man doesn't just sing his songs. He feels them. Always incredible ❤
I swear he wrote this song for my dad. This whole song is him. gets me every time.
Amanda Mac this for all the hard working folks.
Your Dad sounds like a, man with A, Heart Of Gold !!!
My step father, God rest his soul and let him be free in heaven. :) ;)
Same!
For my grandpa too

Song is so powerful, impactful, and literally brings me to tears. It’s strong
Will has to be the most underrated artist out there!
Incredibly motivating song. Will Hoge has the incredible ability to transcend country music to appeal to people who normally wouldn't listen to the genre. Proof that good writing and musicianship is what people really want today. Thank you, sir.....
The world needs to listen to this song these days.
this is 💯 my Uncle John. He's passed and this song makes me cry every time. I wish I could have wrote it for him.
*wonderfully performed and incredibly amazing tune🎇*

I dedicated this song to my grandpa he's been gone 10 years today. this song came out around the time he passed away
Lyrics
He's a twenty year straight get to work on time
He's a love one woman for all his life
He's a shirt off his back give you his last dime
He's strong
He's a need to move something you can use my truck
He's an overtime worker when the bills pile up
Everybody knows he ain't just tough
He's strong
Strong
He'll pick you up and won't let you down
Rock solid inside out
Somebody you can trust
Steady as the sun
Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on
He's strong
It ain't what he can carry what he can lift
It's a dirt road lesson talkin to his kids
Bout how to hold your ground and how to live
Strong
He's strong
He'll pick you up and won't let you down
Rock solid inside out
Somebody you can trust
Steady as the sun
Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on
He's strong
Strong
Like the river rollin'
Strong
Gonna keep on going
Strong
When the road runs out
They gonna keep on talkin about
How he was strong
Strong
He'll pick you up and won't let you down
Rock solid inside out
Somebody you can trust
Steady as the sun
Ain't nothing gonna knock him off the road he's rollin on
He's strong
Everybody knows he ain't just tough
He's strong
Cheer~~having the power to move heavy weights or perform other physically demanding tasks.(all rhythm accompaniment...good)😊

Saturday August 3rd, 2019@ The Radio Room, Greenville. SC
My brother is in emergency surgery right now
hope he is recovering well!
This played at my dads funeral
What commercial is this from? It's killing me
+Brent Chesbrough Chevy
Chevrolet silverado
May I please obtain the rights to use this song in a video tribute to a little boy who passed away from cancer?
Replacin' Trees with Carbon Monoxide. . . while focusin' on my photogenic side.
The Chevrolet song!
Those Chevrolet Silverado feelings….
It’s sad that Chevy didn’t stay with this song. I guess it was too “traditional family values” and actually praised the qualities of a good man.
this song is my dad
had to find this song... so I went to Waffle House and played this song because I sold a house to a guy with the same name of Will Hoge... well, i'd forgotten about the music when my meal came, then this young black man on the waitstaff came up to me and asked if i'd played this one... he said, 'man, I love this song'... I was like, i've never heard the song but the guy writes good stuff... his fanbase is fairly diverse if he's got highschoolers listening... so i like the song now that i can hear it beyond the diner noise...
Lost my Dad Sunday night
anthem for blue-collar masculinity?
38 people purchased Fords and are stuck on the side of the road.
Deepest v neck in the world
I know a guy who knows him and I asked what kind of mucus he makes and he said sort of country but not really and then I watched this and now I am confused
mucus?
prolly folk also
What about women that are like that! He won’t let the girl get in his life bc he’s not the man that he wants to be. He’s not that bad but he’s strong enough to hurt her
I wrote the same lyrics
What happened to this guy ?
He's a liberal piece of shit. Had one decent song and has a small following keeping his career afloat in dive bars and festivals no doubt
34 dislikes really, fatherless SOBs.
daveherron jr;lisamarieherronthompson
I think that he wrote this song all about Chevy
Chevrolet Silverado
Find new roads
1 city person that has no idea what it means to be a man disliked this. ... shake my head... i thought america was smarter than this
Coby
this is an anthem for blue-collar masculinity.
city folks include construction workers and firefighters.
get a clue.
Trump 2020.
Love ya. But country music SUCKS!!!!!!
