This is the most relatable song that I've ever heard.

[@arh948]

He always sings about things we all can relate to. Hell of a voice

[@davebuckingham1365]

I swear this song is about the relationship i have with my old man. Love the guy but god damn sometimes i just cant stand him.

[@austinschlatter4726]

@@davebuckingham1365 i literally just posted a comment saying the same shit. if you know, you know. i totally get it.

[@SniperLogic]

Amen to that.

[@Moidahfais]

I met this guy 2 days ago, hes a really nice person! He shook hands with me and we talked a while before i helped him unload his equipment. This guy is not as famous as he should be.

[@johnlamarca9439]

My opinion is it’s racism… I think his wife is a black woman. He explained in one of his interviews… Also he’s not willing to spend the time away from his family that’s required to become rich and famous… That is a GOOD thing in my opinion…

[@jdtheacousticanarchist4670]

Amen to that!!!! 🤜♥️🤛

[@xres1329]

So did he like you?

[@ehamill3021]

He's finding his joy and his following. He knows what matters. 😁I met him.too briefly made a strong impression on me. He's a shinning bright light, he gleems.

Paul Thorn is one of America's best kept secrets.

[@henrypaleveda7760]

unfortunately a secret but yes he is one of the best.

[@michzelie4238]

i listen him from belgium ;-)

[@justhere4697]

Yep ..our family have lots of secrets ... Ask him ..if he went to aunt brenda's funeral ? She died of cancer this year? Ask him if we are ok. ? Your celebrities yay 😁 they have families .....do they care well I seen him at my mom's funeral but I asked him if he'd go to my wedding was going to pay him to play .. um....no he's just sold his sold .

[@buschgardenandbeer7041]

I've been listening to him for years. He should be bigger by now, but people don't know real music anymore

[@johnmclaurin3571]

Pimps and preachers

[@heatto162]

How did I miss this gem for 10 years? And it shows up in my feed today as I'm blowing off a family reunion.

[@TheJoshuaRaymond]

Can't believe I just heard him for the first time today. He's got a new fan

[@jcorona984]

This song hits the nail on the head. It's especially true when you have a very sick loved one and extended family may or may not show up for support.

[@SniperLogic]

I can relate to that on an *extremely* personal level. Been there, done that, for many….many, years.

[@user-uk2yg4hm3d]

Limp viagra karma

[@kezothehappylurker787]

This is one of the most honest songs I've ever heard!

[@mojoholmes1138]

No doubt!

[@kathymccaston]

Paul Thorn is an amazing musical gift to the world!

[@MsThatjusthappened]

he doesn't need fame... but people need to hear him, he really puts so much story into his songwriting and is a really talented musician that can help change a great many hearts and minds, he undoubtedly deserves more recognition

[@leepittman780]

The best damn voice representing the common man................hell yeah

Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days. Benjamin Franklin

[@johnhickey8429]

True that!

[@ronvonryan]

Not only is this man a great performer he also writes some fine and interesting songs, and dares to go into subjects matter far from the norm, no 'moon and June' for this writer, and as a song writer myself I understand the road he is traveling, and it's a hard road!! To anyone who thinks that they would like to start writing songs this video is a 'Master class' on songwriting.

[@brianhearon1930]

I was gonna listen to one song....Iv'e been here for 3 hours! This dude is pretty awesome.

[@jennyjacques9399]

i loved this dude for years. he is my fav

[@meloniemartie]

I really, really do like this and most every one of his songs I've heard as well....

[@mikefriday5325]

Words couldn't be any truer

[@cmb8703]

First time hearing this song and LOVE it...can totally relate! LOL

[@irrefudiate]

Someone warned on another post to be careful, that Paul Thorn is addictive. And, he was right. Damn!

[@jeffhammer1188]

He is and it's not an addiction I plan on kicking anytime soon. If you like this checkout you might be wrong such a great tune from the same session

[@josephroberts6453]

I saw it too. Just 5 minutes ago. Looks like we are both surfing. Niceee

[@carlagriffin740]

Thank you, John Boy & Billy, for turnin me onto Paul!!! !st with the Christmas song!

[@SWMARTINA]

"He must need a bodyguard if he still goes home for the holidays." now that funny. Bill

[@elizabethkarpinski]

I LOVE Paul Thorn's music!!!!! TY, TY, TY!!!

[@tcbg1950]

I love this song & realize that most people feel the same way! I like this Man, he speaks from the Heart & Soul...

[@googull271]

What a fun tune. I love this song!!

[@juliusbarb1]

This guy is pure song writing genus,I usually don't do the country/folk stuff he is pretty darn good.

[@chathamgal09]

Yes, Paul is a kick ass songwriter.

[@msdonna2148]

The titles alone are hysterical, & the music is great-love it.

[@hickbillyhermit338]

I think this is gonna be my new theme song.

[@sochenzie8386]

paul you are really down to earth. Bless you for you truth in song!

[@yazbit]

My family reunion is going on today. My relatives have all flow in From places far away. As we sit here eatin' chicken It hits me like a truck. I don't like half the folks I love. My and my former best friend Had a big fallin' out. I caught him with my wife So I punched him in the mouth. We just can't hang out anymore But I still wish them luck. I don't like half the folks I love. God knows they're all dear to me But if the truth be told, I like it when they come, But I love it when they go. I'm sure they've got good qualities But the bad ones cover them up. I don't like half the folks I love. My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around When we drink together, peace and joy are bound But sometimes they bring me one more shot When they know I've had enough I don't like half the folks I love. God knows they're all dear to me But if the truth be told, I like it when they come, But I love it when they go. I'm sure they've got good qualities But the bad ones cover them up. I don't like half the folks I love. In this world we live in This I guarantee We all need more tolerance To get along peacefully. But I'm not as nice as Jesus, And I really am fed up. I don't like half the folks I love. God knows they're all dear to me But if the truth be told, I like it when they come, But I love it when they go. I'm sure they've got good qualities But the bad ones cover them up. I don't like half the folks I love. I don't like half the folks I love.

[@robsturgeon8284]

I love it when they go 👍 Thanks Paul great song

[@mikejones-sh8pd]

I don't know how I found this, but it sure made my night! good stuff!

[@jcat5150]

I can't get enough of Paul's sound; SO damn real!

[@benjaminrichardson348]

damn ...dudes got talent. I know I don't like half the fokes I love either. great writer

[@rogerhoovler8236]

Benjamin Richardson I know exactly what you mean I was married 43 years I could have shot her and been out in 20.lol

[@redneckoutdoors7739]

This song is so true I love it

[@ajlee35]

which is why i'm grateful all my family lives over 1200 miles away. AWESOME SONG!

[@swamification]

I love this fantastic song of Paul’s. So much so that I regularly cover it, especially at family gatherings. With tremendous respect to the original I wrote, or rewrote, an additional final section. Hate it or disregard it...I know it’s like putting legs on a snake but here it is anyway: I know they all love me in their own little ways But when they see me coming they all run away We all got good qualities but the bad ones cover them up We don’t like half the folks we love We don’t like half the folks we love

[@lesliehiatt8959]

Ain't this song the dog on truth!

[@justthemomof4]

Oh, how I love you and resonate with most of your songs! This one especially...

[@bluegrassy1]

Love it! Never heard of this guy but I like his style, playing and voice. Great lyrics too.

[@richdorak1547]

Just found this man today. I gotta get out more. Great stuff!

[@robynellington5998]

I first heard Paul on a Mountain AM radio while camping. I was hooked ever since.

[@brandonboyles471]

So much truth in this song.

[@lewiefrazier1041]

Great humor, and a knack for saying it just right. He's the real thing, man!!!

[@lcudaback3]

Just Because They're Family Doesn't Mean You Have to Love Them....And if you do love em you sure in the he!! don't have to like em. Love his songs, he reminds me of Jason Statham...THAT'S A GOOD THING!!

Love this song.

Damn, I Love this Song!!

[@oceanavale3661]

[@lukewarmstanhouston9957]

I don't like anyone I love. So strange, but my family has taught me what love is. Love is committing to a person, no matter what. Even if you hate someone, you could still love them.

[@mentalcompassno1]

[@paulguzman1634]

BANG! That one Hit me right between the horns! It is something I am aware of on some level, but don't often acknowledge. The other side of that, is the realization that some of the people I love, probably feel the same way about me. :) Thanks for posting this great song!

Instead of peddling all these clowns, Paul Thorn should be the big ticket on some of the TV shows recicling the same artists with some commercially polished names over and over again. This guy is great.

Just got back from his concert at THE HOUSE OF BLUES in Orlando & had seats four rows from the stage seats, while the TIGHTEST BAND I HAVE HEARD IN TEN YEARS, BLEW THE TIN ROOF OFF OFF OF THE PLACE! His guitarist is close to being early Hendrix, he's that GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! The best show & audience response you have EVER HEARD!!!
