On Dec. 31, 2020 my dad retired from truck driving. 46 years. He has one safety award for over a million miles driven safely. In his driving career he's driven over 6 million miles. He was an OTR trucker so he was gone most of my life. I'm proud of my dad and his service to America in his own way. Keeping food on the shelf. Trucking kept the lights on, the land paid for, the house paid for, food in my belly, a warm bed, clothes on my back, etc. I love you dad.
I drive part-time for my job. That's an incredible accomplishment. I hope you got to ride with him and see the struggle he had.
IM IN THE OILFIELD AND IM AWAY FROM MY KIDS A LOT AND EVERY TIME I HEAR IT I CRY.I LOVE MY FAMILY WITH ALL MY HEART BUT US OILFIELD DADS HAVE TO STAY STRONG AND SUPPORT OUR FAMILY GOD BLESS
I feel ya bro except i aint a parent yet but you miss alot here in the patch
@Adam Carney weve missed half their lives to give them one we never had
Same here, working on a drill ship in south america living on facetime with my 5 year old son and 1 year old daughter
Amen
My dad works in the oilfield and is gone a lot. Every time I listen to this song it makes me cry because I realize that’s how he feels
My dad's a truck driver, he's probably gone 300 days a year, I've been on the road with him a couple times. It's a rough life.
By the time I made it home
You were already in bed
Chubby cheek pressed to the pillow
By a bed time book you read
And I noticed that you looked older
Than you did yesterday
You've been growing up
While I was away
You made a pile of leaves in the front yard
I guess it's already fall
By the look of them pictures your momma took
The two of you had a ball
And it made me glad, but a little sad
To see those games you played
I missed a lot of smiles
While I was away
For every dollar I earn there's a lesson you learn without me there
And every day I'm on the go I'm prayin' that you know that your daddy cares
'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
It's you growin' up while I was away
And I found your note in the kitchen
It's a real work of art
A stickman holding your stick hand with "Daddy" written in a heart
And it got me good 'cause I understood just what you meant to say
You've been missing me too
While I Was Away
And for every dollar I earn there's a lesson you learn without me there
For every day I'm on the go I'm prayin' that you know your daddy cares
'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
It's you growin' up while I was away
No the hardest part about working hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
It's everything that I missed
While I was away
I'm an Air Force veteran and Gold Star Wife.. My husband was killed in the line of duty 3 years ago and now I am raising our only son. This song was great! Made me tear up lol
May God Bless y'all. ...
with respect
words can hardly express... I wish your family all of God's blessings
so sorry for your loss, so thankful for your husband. I know my words don't matter much, but I hope you know that the service and sacrifice of your family isn't forgotten. thank you.
Natalee King that is so sad your husband will be loved and missed
Heard this on the way home tonight. Sucker punched me right in the feels
My son played this for me the first time I heard it. He was a little choked up.
He is a contract welder and gone more than he's home.
I’m active duty stationed away from my family and today I’m missing my daughters birthday. There are not many songs more honest than this one.
While I was working across this country my son grew up and he hates me no matter but he didn't want for anything I only hope one day he will understand and forgive me cause if I had it to do over I would of stayed home
Diesel Duane he will forgive you someday
Im so sorry to hear that i fear the same will happen with mine im a traveling welder their mom and i went seperate ways and now its even less i get to see them.. Like the song says bills i glt to pay drove me to work far
My first 2 have disowned me because my ex made sure they did!! My wife of 12 years now makes sure our 6 year old doesnt. I'm an O/O, and while I try to stay close, it's not always possible. But she makes sure he knows why Daddy's gone!!
I'm sure he will forgove you someday, at the end he will see he has a dad that loves and cares alot for him and how preasur this is, i had to grow up without a dad, keep up the good work you do, i'm sure that everyone around is is proud of your work! :)
MR DUANE IM A SOILDER MISSED MY CHILDS BIRTH AND YEARS GOING TO IRAQ AND BACK SO I GET IT MY DAD WAS KILLED WHEN I WAS A KID 16 SO YOUR SON WILL FOR GET ABOUT THE TIME LOST AND SPEND SOME NEW TIME TOGETHER
As a truckers wife with two small children this hits home for me beautiful song
I work in the oilfield and I’m gone on average around 320 days a year. Random weekends is all I get home. Married and children plus grand babies this song hits home.
My Father is a Boilermaker for 30+ years now, I've been a Railroader for 7 years now with 2 children at home. I never truly understood his sacrifice until I stood in his shoes
I'm a conductor for a railroad and only seem to be home every other day. With a wife and 2 kids this song hits home.
yes my husband is an engineer and I immediately thought of railroaders and their wives and families. stay strong and thank you for what you do.
I tear up every time I hear this song, my dad is a truck driver and he called me on the phone like he always up and he said I need to hear this song, he said its our song. From him to me
Alexi Schiller I cry every time I hear this bc my step uncle is gone way to much and my mom
God bless the dedicated men and women.
Oil field workers are gone from home much of the time, too. My brother in law spends over half the year away. And has missed so many holidays in his children's lives.
I am proud of him for working so hard, but it's difficult for him to miss so much.
I understand that way too much. Us roughnecks have a hard life while working only to find the one you love has moved on to someone who ain't away so much
I was a little surprised roughnecks weren't mentioned but people gone for less than 90 days a year were. My dad has worked in the oilfield my entire life and there were times when I was younger (in the 90s) that he would be sent to NM and we wouldn't see him for 6 to 8 months. He missed so much but looking back now I know it hurt him probably more than it hurt us. I must be crazy because I married a roughneck and will now live the rest of my life in hitches waiting for him to come home.
+1 For the oil field workers. Especially with the COVID 19 going on. Gone 9 weeks, home for about 4.5
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?

***** Samanth Walker I'm an engineer for the railroad. I'm gone a lot and feel like I miss so much of my little girl's life. This song makes me cry. I hope when I finally reach retirement (in 24 more years!) That I won't have missed it all. We truly do endure it for our families; to provide for them and give them the life they deserve. Even though it's a sacrifice that we signed up for and are willing to make, it still hurts our tough railroader hearts when or babies tell us they miss us on the phone. That run and hug when we walk in the door from a trip is the greatest feeling in the world! To everyone else, hug the ones you love and tell them "thank you" for the sacrifice they make to provide for their families. AND to all our Military service men and women: Thank you for your service, We support and love you.
Slim V I love the song but kids are stronger and smarter than they get credit for- they adapt and do fine. I suspect will be same for your daughter as daughter of a RR worker as me as daughter of a driver: my dad drove OTR my entire childhood and never did I doubt his love or feel like I missed out on anything. It was just the way it was and I admired and respected him for it. I treasured the time I did have with him and maybe more so since he wasn't there every night. He passed away in 2013 but if you can look up an old song by Bill Anderson called HIM AND ME, it tells it from a child of a trucker's point of view and we don't see it all sad and guilt filled with gloom. I would have never wanted my dad to feel guilty for doing what he did to provide for us.
that's who I thought of - the railroaders. my husband is also an engineer and is gone more than he is home. so little sleep and so little of a life to take part in. thank you for all that you do out there. stay safe.
23yrs trucking, I could provide everything but time. Cost me 2 marriages and now time with my grandkids. Not an easy listen, that's for sure.
My kids grew up while I rotated shifts and was angry. Now their grown, and im on first shift. Anyone thinking of rotating shifts, don't do it. Its not worth the loss.
Lineman here. 2 Little girls and a wife at home, I miss a lot of things and a lot of holidays but it's the career I chose to be able to support them like they should be. I hope all my girls understand that. This song really hits home for me.
I heard this song and immediately thought Military as my husband served in the Marines but he now spends his time as a Lineman Apprentice....I'm honestly a little shocked they left out Linemen!!! 😢
I'm an operator and I have kids as well. This song explains a lot while we are away. they grow like weeds while we are building line.
yea and communication tower climbers its a rough gig but someone has to do it
JakeJunker lineman here too bubba
David Pedder i hear ya man its rough livin the lives we do i got a 4 year old and a 1 year old at home with my wife
time waits for no one. I missed my kids growing up. I regret that everyday. a truck driver is no life for a family man. 24 years gone :(
Oilfield lease operator here..... I'm 7 hours from home about 310 days a year 🥺 this song was like a gut punch...
As a Brit ive never heard of Pat Greene..but what a great voice and song..just heard him on fox news so just had to listen was not disappointed
This is a beautiful song. I don't think specific jobs that were missed being mentioned in the video should be the focus here; it's the sentiment that counts. There are so many of us that are touched by this song.
I was disappointed that oil field workers weren't included either, especially from a Texas country singer. I spent my whole life growing up not really knowing who my dad was because he was away at work. At the time it disappointed me because i didn't understand what he was doing working 8days on 2 days off. Driving hundreds of miles away from where his family was. I stand back and look now from the hospital where i work, because I'm a doctor now, and realize i grew up while he was away. And now my son is growing up....while I'm away. But its something we do for our family. Dad if for some reason you ever read this, i love you, and thank you for all your hard work, even if you were away.
This song has me in tears every time I hear or. My dad was a truck driver. He was often away. He would call every day and he was there for the important things. He passed away nine years ago.
The oilfield is over looked so often. Some of the hardest working sob's on the planet for real. Been in the oilfield 13 years, I'm 34 yrs old with 3 kids and a wife I never get to see. Its a profession for tough folk. Takes a certain breed of individual to make a life in the patch. It gives and it takes. Time is the most valuable thing on earth, and the patch will take it all, if you let it. Don't! #oilfielddad #oilfieldlife #oilfieldtrash
#ilovethepatch #ihatethepatch #lifeinhitches
CWI/Welder/Pipe Fitter, always working on the road to provide for my family. Its not an easy life....this song helps put it in perspective for others.
I'm on the other end of texas from my baby and I didn't need to hear this tonight. My heart was already falling apart.
Hang on dads, and hold on...count the days until we are holding our babies again
I'm gone over half of the year,I work on a workover oil rig it's so hard leaving my 2 boys and my lady,I miss a lot but do it all for them to have a better life and I'm thankfull and honoured to have a family strong enough to stand by me and still be there every time I go home..
My husband is a trucker comes home 3 days a month. This song I'm bawling my eyes out. We have a special needs son so he's always missing huge big but small moments.
I cry when I hear this song because I can't imagine living without my dad, a weekend without him makes me sad.
Love you daddy😘
I've done the military, I've done the trucking and now I'm doing the oilfield. I first heard this song when I was trucking and it broke me. I've got two babies and the most amazing woman in the world at home and I'd do anything for them. That's why we sacrifice. Some make more than others do but we all sacrifice the same. No matter what profession you work in. If you're gone, you're gone. it hurts no matter what.
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
This is the song with the most lyrical content that I have ever heard. It might as well be a world anthem
Listen to this for the 1st time on my way into work this morning. I'm crying my eyes out as I think about my little boy at home in bed. I'm a working mom gone before hes up and back when hes asleep every day almost. I'm lucky if I get 1 or 2 days a week with him.
I pray, dear Father, make a way for Krista to be with her son.
In Jesus’s name.
My daddy is an engineer and was gone for the majority of my childhood. But I know he did it all to make his family happy and provide us with everything he could. He is a hard working man and I respect him and love him more than anyone. It was hard on my mother raising three children at home alone. But he was always on the phone talkin to us doin what he could. I remember runnin to him when he came home through the door. I am now closer to him than ever. He made his away up and now gets to see his family everyday including holidays and birthdays.
Samanth Walker I had the same exact experiences growing up. I don't know if it was the families he had to tell that their daddy wasn't coming home, or the stress of the refineries or what, but alcohol took ahold of him and hasn't let go since. Haven't seen him in 2 years. I hope he comes home soon. Mark, Dad come home. You have been gone far too long.
Your son,
Cassidy David N.
i know the feeling my dad works 2/3 of the year he's a firefighter for 2 Dept's both he works 24 hours shift on both
Pipeliner here.... I heard this song and couldn't stop crying... I have a 3 year old who calls me every night to tell me she misses and loves me... I get about 14 to 30 days at home per year.... hits hard
Oil field worker here and while we were not represented in the video this song chokes me up every time. Gone 245 days a year. Missing my wife son and daughter right now from a ship 3,000 miles away.
Heroes, all of them and other professions like them. Honestly, almost feel guilty. Dunno why. My dad didn't have a job that kept him away for any real amount of time so I almost always had him around. But there are so many kids that grew up not knowing that. I'm grateful for not having to go through that, but a feel guilty cause it almost doesn't seem fair. We gotta do what we gotta do but it is one of the saddest things imaginable to not have your dad around in your life.
my dad is gone for a long time and i’m so sad and i cry when he leaves
my dad showed me this song , meant a lot to me coming from him
same
mine too:(
He sent me this song while he was out working, we get to see him every day but not for too long, because he has paperwork
And he has to leave alot for work, but I love him so much
As a Proud Union Pipeliner, this song hits home! Its the first time Ive heard it, and tears just welled right up! Daddy loves you all away around the world Bryley Jo!
I know the feeling. Two little girls myself and the patch is keeping me from them.
Been on the road my whole life I've raised 5 children being on the road it's never been easy leaving home to go back out some day I hope to enjoy the family life like others
love this song. as an interstate truck driver really hits home
my dad has the same job thank you for what you do most people don't realize how important truck drivers are for everyone's daily life
Same here bud this song smashed me in the face found it at speedys truck stop in Lipton AZ
I work in the oil field and am missing so much of my 2 little boys and wife it's unreal we have no set days off because of low oil prices and are gone a lot and at anytime. 200+ days away from home last year
My daddy was a longhaul trucker for as long as I can remember and in my 20's I took up the same life. SC to Cali, just like him! Dad lasted only about 9 or 10 months after he retired. There isn't a day that I don't miss him, especially when I see or go in places we did while on the road. I like to think he's either still flyin down the road in a stretched out "Pete" or riding with me!
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
I miss my dad I only get to see him every 4 months but I still love him
Oil patch and right here this hit really hard there is nothing that I won't do for my family sacrifices we make as fathers or mothers to provide a better life for our family kids thank you for this wonderful song
My dad worked in the oilfield for 10 years and it’s been 4 years since he quit and this song still makes me cry. I can’t get through the whole song without crying 😢
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
Divorced firefighter dad. Every third day I'm missing my two buddies. Song kinda says it all.
My Dad, he's in prison. And this song hit me hard. I miss him more and more everyday, and though he may not have been the best father to me and my brothers, he was there for us. I love you, Dad. I'll see you as soon as you get out... 💔
Husband is an over the road trucker. Gone approximately 260+ days of the year. 2 kiddos at home. We all miss him.
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
I'm a construction worker and have to travel a lot for work. This song right here keeps me going when I'm at my lowest point. Thank you for this song.
I was a firefighter before being injured. One morning I went to work and didn't get home for a month. Manpower was so short we were always being forced into mandatory overtime
This is my favorite Pat Green song. My daddy worked all over the world as a welder/ pipefitter. He had a hand in building every juice processing plant in the United States. He was gone alot. As a kid I couldn't understand why he was gone so much. But when he was home he was so wrapped up in us he didn't want to leave. He quit for awhile when I signed my baseball scholarship and was at every game no matter where we played. I miss him dearly!! Thank you Pat Green for this song!!!!
Gone 8 plus months a year moving Drilling Rigs and miss so much, to give them everything I never had growing up.
This song makes me cry my dad didn’t finish high school and he is a dame good Diesel mechanic and a good dad I only saw him like 4 weeks last year
I'm home every day. Swing shifts 8/12 hours..... Still hits home how much I have MISSED.
I'm a firefighter in middle east, away from home for more than 720 days. now I am an introvert.
I really wish oilfield was included in the video. It kills me and our boys when he leaves and misses out on family celebrations and holidays. Kisses through video calls will never be as good but it's all we have half, sometimes more, of the year.
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
Dad I miss u so much I miss u in my life plz come home to me😭😭😭😭
oilfield worker...slb wireline. missing my four babies back home and crying like a baby when I heard this
This is my favorite vid cause I'm just a kid and my dads a truck driver and he goes away every week day and I cry every time he leaves and I'm crying right now tiping this.I miss him so much and I wish he was here it's just so hard for me.This is me right now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PuppyRock748 I'm still a kid myself and I'm an over the road truck driver I been gone 3 months so far I spend 2 days at home and I'm back gone again tell your old man stay safe out there! Prayers to y'all
Stay strong young fella.
Gone 300 days a year, chasin black gold.
It is amazing how many people are complaining about what isn't in the video....Did you listen to the words at ALL?!?!?! It's a 3-minute video. Everyone and group isn't going to be represented. Stop being self-centered!!!!
Love the song and the message, Pat!
My daddy was a coal miner even though he would come home in the early morning hours or late evening hours or have to work double shifts never with a day off I knew he was doing it so we could have a better life and that our mother could stay home with us, but always missed my daddy not being there, now my son is doing the same thing, this is a great song that touched me in so many ways. Thank you for a beautiful song.
Talk about a song that hits you right in the feelers. Wish I could spend more time home with my 2 daughters and wife. The oilfield is relentless.
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
Aircraft mechanic (contract) or factory work has taken me away from my kiddos more than i even want to admit ! 80/90 hours a week constantly traveling and all for them ! This song just kicked me right in the feels
Been in the military for 8 years, been away from my daughter for 760 days total. I miss every second I didn’t get to see my little girl take her next step in life. I hope she never has to live my life to support her family one day. I love her and want her to have everything I never had growing up. This song has hit hard since my brother from my first deployment in Afghanistan sang it, Korey Rose check home out. He brought a lot far away from us to home and made everything we went through a bit more durable. A true combat vet who made it into country music.
Mine is an OTR truck driver and I miss him every day. Thank God for FaceTime but it's still not the same!
I'm the daughter of a trucker and also a wife of one. Its a hard life, but I'm so thankful for the sacrifices my dad and husband have made for our family. My dad is less than 10 years from retirement and is already planning his fishing trips with my kids. I cannot wait until the day he calls and says he's dropped off his final load and he will be home in a couple hours.
my dad is a truck driver and I only get to see him every other weekend so when we herd this sons we both started to tear up
Gone 270 days a year on a towboat. Missed my daughter growing up and wish I could go back and change it. Time is the only thing we can't get enough of.
I work in the oilfield & I’m gone 252 days a year... I’m surprised we weren’t mentioned.
Exactly
This song brings tears to my eyes, just as it does Carrie Underwood, because it is truly heartfelt. God bless you, Pat Green. Thank you so much for making/creating GREAT music from within your heart! :D
I'm dedicating this to Railroad wives. They often leave Railroaders off of these lists but we all know better. Stay strong. You're loved.
Great song. Seems like it was meant to include all those who have to spend time away from their family...not just those specifically named. Beautiful song.
I'm a pipeliner and I'm gone about 340 days a year and its hard missing loved ones and the little ones grow up
My father retired from sheet metal work just within the last five years. He wasn't home sometimes every night but to get up to drive three hours away if his job site was that close. Other times he would be gone for weeks at a time just to come home and sleep. I love him more than anything. He missed a lot of my firsts to put in duct work. He showed me that you do anything to support your family and he continues to show me while I raise my son.
pipe/tube welder here....its almost September and I've only seen home about 4 weeks all year...I have 4 kids and a wife and I miss them so much and have missed so much. ..my youngest child my only son is 2 now and I might've seen him 9 months of his life. ...the sacrifices we make to give them a better life cannot be measured....I love you Bre,Kaylie, Audrey and Sawyer and my beautiful wife Laura
Loved this song when Zane Williams sang it on "music Monday". I am an oil field worker, so it hits close to home. I sang it and recorded it on my phone, sent it to my wife to play for our son. He listens to it often while I'm at work. Great song with a wonderful meaning.
my dad moved to okc from here in atl, for our indian tribe, when i was 16. he is the president of our tribe. i got to see him maybe once a month till i was 20. now its less and less that i see him, but working for the tribe is for mine and future generations future in our tribe. when i was younger he was an airplane mechanic, and was gone from dusk till dawn... but i knew he was doing it to keep me happy with the things i wanted and needed. i love my daddy and miss him everyday...
but like my mom has always told me, love him when your with him and support him when your not.
that's great thanks for watching my videos I really appreciate your love ❤️❤️and support💪 may God continue to bless you, how long have you been a fan of mine?
Thank you. I'm gone 330 days a year pushing a rig. Love it, but the tradeoff is rough.
So beautiful and so sad, too. I miss being able to hear songs like this on country radio.
I love you mom and dad!!
Out here in Alberta Canada working that oil, been gone from home just over 20 days now, hard to see everyone at home having so much fun.
Power lineman. Gone 324 day 2017. And building quick for 2018. Keeping people with power. Never thought of till power is out.
This song hits me hard. I just hope my daughter grows up and understands the sacrifices I had to make so she never went without.
i miss my dad. 😩😩
My husband is a Captain on a rig. 35 more days and he retires. This was a 19 month contract. So thankful it’s over with. We are more than ready to celebrate 2 years worth of birthdays and holidays with him.
God is good
How's it going being free.
@@nightranger9795 he’s finally coming home on the 7 of April. Praise God He will just lease out his container ship. 🚢 now. He will not leave his wife and daughter anymore
He will be home just in time to teach her to drive a car. She was 13 when he went to Sea.
God Bless you
my daddy is a trucker i wish he was here i love him i havent seen him all summer and so far this school year. I miss him
Thank you sir,I am a driver,and my little girl absolutely loves this song,it brings me to a stop.........
Your ears are never tucked inside your cover!!
How could anyone (3) "not" like this?
This is my go to. Kind of a song for my life. I was on the road, layin asphalt. 450 degrees of hell per shovel full. Scars to prove it. Couldn't go home if I wanted. My oldest cried himself to sleep with Lightning MCQUEEN. I'll never forget the day he saw me again. Biggest and tightest hug he's ever given me. For months, I had nothing but phone calls to offer. So glad and proud of my boy. These days, I work in a meat dept for a local grocery store. This song still brings tears to my eyes. I hope and pray that your kids know and feel what you're saying, Pat. Nothing but love and respect from the Titus family. Big hugs from Iowa.
Great song. My husband is a freelance television camera operator. He's gone about 200 days a year, so I can relate.
This song breaks my heart.
♥️ But yet still so very thankful. .but we need him here!💔
My husband is a police officer.... He misses so much of our 1 year old little girl :( she cries when he leaves, and is normally asleep when he comes home. Love this song.
You forgot about us rig hands. Making our country grow again!!!
My husband is on the oilfield and is home a week a month, if I'm lucky then 10 days some months. We have 2 young boys and it's definitely hard. He shared this song with me and boom hit my feels.
