"I'll Keep The Kids" - Montgomery Gentry - Official Lyric Video

[@odessahill3601]

This song reminds me about my husband now. He gave his EX everything. She told him she didnt want the kids. She left him for another guy as well. They didnt even have to go through a divorce he said fine the kids are better than having anything in this house and shut the door in her face. I give kudos to the single dads out there. My husband has struggled but, we have made it through we have 6 kids all together and we have them all with US. :)

[@teresamccloud7796]

i love it, it proves that there aint as many as dead beats dads out there as people put on....

[@pugsely46227]

i'm going thru this right now!!! only been seperated for 6 weeks now and still fighting for my kids!!! All i want in this entire world is my babies back! i'm a great dad and no reason for me not to be there 100 percent!!!

[@bensmith9768]

Man, that is a true dad. Willin to give up everything, for his kids

[@bigoldinosaur]

I wish they'd make a video for this already. Just film a bunch of dads with their kids and let that be it.

[@mphrab]

Preach it I’ll submit a picture!!!

[@hatorisflower]

My mom may have got us kids in the divorce, and while I'm not close at all really to my real dad, My Daddy raised me. He was my step-dad and the second man mom married and left. He stayed around even though he didn't have to. Taught me to drive, helped me buy my first truck, saw me off to join the Army and one day I really hope that I can meet and marry a guy that is HALF the man he is. He was literally the dad that didn't have to be. He could have left when mom left him but he chose to stay around for me and my brother and sister and be the father he KNEW we needed. PS, hes also currently trying to find a way to get to the city I'm in to help me fix my car! WHAT A DAD!! LOVE YOU DADDY!

[@redsoxguy18]

I'm sorry for all that you had to go through. And thank you for your service and your sacrifice for our country.

[@wesleyborton8171]

So sorry for all you went through krista

[@seanblack7188]

"Trying to gind away." At this point, you should be helping him. Prime example : Stepdad's ain't shit and gets no respect

[@StephensonsGirl1989]

I respect the single men out there and believe they deserve just as much recognition as a single mother, you men are wonderful!! I wish I could just get my kids father to come see them or even call on their birthday. I have never nor will I ever keep my children from their father. That is a decision they have to make all on their own. If my husband and I ever divorced I would give him everything, he is the one who worked for it he deserves what is rightfully his.

[@barbiehaygan69]

Lolol, my mom took everything, my dad took us kids & raised us better than she ever could have. Love you daddy. ♡

[@marissaclark2022]

My sister and I were raised by my dad. Greatest guy ever, my mom left and didn't want us but my dad did always did and always will!!! This song hits home!

[@eddiebrandenburg8310]

Eddie Montgomery has one of the most powerful voices in country music!!!!!

[@robbieray1961]

eddie brandenburg Eddie Montgomery Wrote This Song Cause Was Goin Through A Divorce At The Time

[@eddiebrandenburg835]

Thanks Robbie yes I knew that,it just so happens I am good friends with Eddie from way back to his Austin City Saloon days.My brother R.I.P.Bo/Rebel played a lot of lead guitar with him back then n I was the Bouncer.

[@doughesson]

The best "Gotcha" song ever.It just goes to show what the woman in this song really cares about.

[@sea6bear]

My dad passed 2 years today he was 82 ....Back when he was 27 he took custody of us 4 kids ages 5 to 1 ...takes one good hearted person to do that ....this song seems to relate to a lot of people ...God I miss him.

[@angelaledlow6711]

My son's father and I got divorced after 12 years. I would never take our son away from him. He's 25 years old now. He has a great relationship with his dad. Even more he has a great relationship with my husband ( his step dad). He also had a good step mother till she and his dad separated. I really pray these women realize these men shouldn't have to fight to see and raise their kids

[@michellekimmel10]

This hits home with me... My mom didn't want me or my brother. So my dad raised us. Which was the best thing for the both of us. I thank god for that!!! Don't know where i'd be without him. I'm 21 now, with one of my own i love her so much... She has an amazing father.

[@meanolddog9912]

I have custody of my daughter, had to fight for it. In the south, working in law enforcement, minimum 12 hour days and the judge still awarded me custody. I was not going to back down, no matter what my lawyer said, no matter the odds, because my daughter is worth it.

[@m67kabar71]

Man,Same thing is happening right now to my brother. He is a cop down in Houston, TX and is having a difficult time with his divorce. His daughter is 10.

[@elishacarver1565]

My dad raised 3 kids on his own never was on welfare worked everyday no family because ever single one was drunks or druggies he worked ever day my mom took everything left me n my brothers never was around was out living her life and my dad never was able to have time to meet a good women he stay depressed but he was a wonderful dad n he pulled through n got us grown n raised us right this song reminds me of him.... daddy's girl ♡ he's the strongest man I know.

[@AMB42390]

It takes a real man to see to his children. Ive been going for custody of my kids waiting for the final court hearing to get them im doing everything i can because they deserve the best chance at life and a good safe loving home

[@danielclanton863]

wow!!! coming from someone that lost rights and wakes up every morning to check out fb for recent pics, i love it

[@abnwayne91]

Going through this now we dont have kids but all i want is the dog...

[@ethelhoose2972]

Thank God he was a good father

[@kaitlynward6632]

same situation for my family. Except my dads the one who left, and he tried to take EVERYTHING. my mom kept us and the house and is still, 2 years later, fighting my dad over child support. I love my mom, shes my hero & im so glad she kept us

[@MrRah1977]

My father was a single father, and so am I....this song is mine and my fathers story.....I cryed when I heard this song.......

[@brianstafford5677]

My mother walked out of my life when I was a kid. Threw me my brother and father out of the house onto the streets. My father has raised me into the man iam.

[@gunnwolf6531]

Don't hate me but the guns, bass boat, and tractor are comin with me and the kids.

[@85billiejo]

I love Montgomery Gentry singing,they don't get the credit they deserve.

[@eddiebrandenburg8310]

Eddie Montgomery should have went solo,he would have a ton of number ones by now!!!!! The man is everything country music is all about.

[@Ellenwood1991]

I was raised by my Dad and eventually my Step-Mom, whom I consider my mother. I don't talk to my real mom and don't want to. I'm glad that she left me with my Dad since I live a great life now and am going through college. I think this songs represents more than a few cases. Single moms get all the sympathy, but single Dads deserve some to, it is hard either way and a shame that the other parent doesn't care about their kid

[@eddiebrandenburg835]

Song should have went number 1, one DJ said it was the best song since George Jones He Stopped Loving Her Today.

[@jimmylizabethwolfenden2503]

I would agree with that sentiment

[@eddiebrandenburg835]

Song should have been a number one smash hit!!!!! POWERFUL

[@Highshells]

I only have a dad and when I heard this song I cried and still is

[@germanshepherd2986]

I was raised by my father, couldn't imagine it any other way.

[@17MustangBoy]

When my mom left 3 years ago she took everything and my dad kept me and my brothers. I love him for that!

[@orion3706]

In my state, if you're a mom, you could be a crack addict, and still get custody. I pray my wife and I never divorce. I love her and our kid to the moon and back and will move Heaven and Earth to keep them safe.

[@hunterhigley6327]

I know how u feel

[@KiraGiehll]

This is an amazing song! When I left my ex husband, I told him he could have everything....but I'm taking the kids! Thankfully with my latest breakup we weren't married and I was the one to purchase it all. I got everything AND the kids, would have given it all up for them though! Kudos to all you single dads!!!!! You never get the credit you deserve!!! Being a single parent is hard, great job stepping up for your kids. Trust me it will mean the world to then always and forever.

[@Antzy1Still]

I can't believe this has not had more Air Play. Love It!!!

[@miasodini283]

Man I wish I would have gotten to see them live...

[@briannataylor8046]

First time I heard this song my step mom made a "mix tape" of some songs for my dad and he.was playing it in the car on our way to the beach. There wasn't a single dry eye in that car dad did everything and more for me a d my siblings our whole lives and he did it single with 3 kids. I love you daddy❤

[@rcas9490]

Daddy did! Thank you God!!

[@IRUNWITHTHEPACK17]

My parents split when I was little and this song makes me cry but I love it

[@builtittuff]

brother,been there done that. dont miss the shit. love seeing my boys everyday...fair trade.

[@Styuhlzz]

This song means so much to me and my family.

[@skooterdog1]

May God bless you and look out for you Eddie. Rip Troy.

[@ninamjenisch]

This song opened a can of worms , I loved my ex husband , but when it came down to it my kids were more important . He got it all an scondered it .

[@johndennis5013]

Touching song. I just got granted custody of my three children. Best thing I ever did. Unfortunately, mothers aren't maid like they use too.

[@johnakaODB]

i got the kid the best thing that came from a 13 year relationship. Sad part is i still love her but the kid has no love for her.he was her biological and i adopted him at 6 HE is now 15. it is so sad to think how he feels about her. i could never feel that way about my mom god rest her soul

[@bornfree8073]

all i can say is wow. How it is really something knowing that something like this can be capulter in a song. It is so impressive that anyone can sing about this and make it connect to so many of us. I know how you guys feel when my dad cheated on us. It made me realize way superheros would never work. because like so many boys dad is not dad he is something nobody can ever take away from you he is hope he is strength HE IS PERFECT IN EVER WAY. but, after years you realize he aint. But, after those years your realize he your dad and he will always be your dad. All I can say is my kids wont have to feel the pain behind every hit that cuts way deeper then any punch can or will ever. My kids also wont ever say "walk a little straighter daddy." but he is your dad we all make mistakes remember that when you feel like bringing up all those old memories when your made. some things are better left behind then to carry

[@user-hm3hr1er2n]

My ex didn’t want anything not even the kids I got them and I would change it for anything

[@michaelharper9985]

keep it all as long i can have what matters the most ,, the kids

[@SweetTeaSipper]

This is such a sad song.

[@neiyaoyas]

I grew up in a single parent household and for several years, I was a single dad as well to two awesome kids. This song hits very close to home for me.

[@jeffgorden1971]

OMG this is such a good song, It makes me think of my older brother and what his ex wife did to him, Love u bro.

[@patriciasmothers2174]

I can't believe it hasn't been played as much on the air or CMT and GAC. this is a great song and should be # ONE!!!! Love these guys they are the best....

[@nicholasgleason703]

This hits home

[@Runningbear72]

Sounds like my ex! I have the kids! Thank God!!

[@shannafolden3918]

Amen! :-) I feel you;)

[@Joeyslifee]

brought tears to my eyes

[@DawgTunes]

Love this! LOVE MY KIDS!!!!

[@elizabethzane5579]

I'd love to see a serious video for this song-like, it a lyric one. But I like this one too.

[@devonbrown6062]

It takes a big man to stand there and say this. It is a shame but so many heartless, immature women do just play these games. If they wind up keeping the kids they are usually used as toys in her games. It really is a shame and makes me ashamed of my sex. Good men, those of you who kept your kids!

[@KaedFuyou]

Thanks I have cusdy of my boys

[@nicholasgleason703]

This song is keeping me going everyday going through this shit right now but as long as I got my girls I’ve got all I need

[@dm4zgsexualhealing574]

I did keep my kids over 13YEARS thus year they be B 26,21,20,14 ALL BOY'S AND NOW YOUNG HANDSOME LOVEN MEN LOVE YOU ALL MY SON'S FROM POP'S

[@yentavegan8823]

great song.

[@robinhood2298]

If I ever get in this situation, God forbid, I'll give the lady everything but my drawers and the kids.

[@lowlandraised7266]

Wish I had a Dad like that. When I was 3 mine just left and my mom kinda took it out on me and later in life she told me it was because I reminded her of him. For years I never understood why she hated me so much. Kicked out and homeless many times in my teens and it wasn't until my 20's when she finally told me why. Now, in my thirties, it still bothers me. Neither wanted me I guess.

[@rjcain2262]

good song

[@27bhollis]

this is a really good song and I can relate to this song for what my children and I went through recently

[@AEfuryness]

My mom and dad separated when I was 3. He didn't pay any child support. Made my mom put her pay checks into a bank account he could controlled, only giving her enough to get by with my brother and I. I am now 18, they are in the middle of actually getting the divorce stuff finished. He refused to sign the papers because he wanted to be married for 20 years on paper. I can say without a doubt I don't like him at all. My mom did her best, and looking at me she did a great job.

[@bgerber8618]

Great song! #1!

[@brandybowers2512]

we don't always get everything. trust me on that

[@09smartin1]

This song just brought me to tears. I'm going through a brutal divorce now. I gave here pretty much everything I busted my ass for my whole life, but she still wants more. The only thing I care about is my 4 sons. As long as I get to see them she can have everything else. it don't mean a damn thing to me!!

[@tomweaver7723]

Me too brother. I'm on day 4. Does it get any easier?

Story of my parents' divorce. Mom wanted everything and Dad said she could have anything she wanted except us.

[@ravensedge22]

[@danielnelsen7437]
