[@DWilliam1]

My dad is 84 years old and just retired this past year. He’s a mechanic. He worked several jobs, including time in the military, putting a roof over our head, food in the fridge and shoes on our feet. Went to church every Sunday. He never complained. Got me my first job as a porter at age 11 and allowed me to keep the money I earned unlike his childhood working in a coal truck at age 9. He reminded me of his childhood growing up in a cold water flat and a community bathroom, which he said was an improvement over grandpas who slept 5 to a room, on a floor next to a coal furnace. We had tough times and good times through the years, but he instilled in me the principals, of hard work, sacrifice, responsibility, God and Country. Moms been dead for over 5 years now, my sister died over 15, way to early. Raised her boy on my own since his daddy was in jail. My father nodded when I stepped up, but that was it. Spend more time with him now and understand him a lot better. Still doesn’t say too much but doesn’t have to. We spend time working on little things together like fixing a lawnmower or a pipe or just sitting on the porch. In my fifties now and have a boy of my own and I hope I’m around long enough to teach him the things my daddy taught me. Those lessons you can’t get in no school. This song and a few others like it makes me think about all of this and for that I’m grateful.

[@jimgranville5343]

Love this. Your dad raised a man who knows the value of hard work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@61lekker]

Thank you for your story...you exposed me to the best of humanity

[@tinawalker4928]

Tears in my eyes reading this

[@gillbawden]

He is a good man

[@ViolenceWerkz]

Seriously, MAD RESPECT

[@phillancello350]

This song is about an old friend of mine sung and played by his son and his band Uncle Lucius. Well Done!

[@madpogue]

What an honor.

[@flatsixx]

Your friend must be a good dad.

[@jafarhabib2525]

Dad got burnt up in the first Gulf war, went on to be a pipe welder for Chevron. Had a heart attack and died on the job where I was a first year apprentice. I sure wish he could have heard this song.

[@subversive1219]

This is the anthem of the blue collar worker, no what country you live in. Living from paycheck to paycheck. I get chills everytime I listen to this. As someone who works 12 hour shifts, I know this life well.

[@martindepaz8364]

Yes sir. Up at 4 am and go get it every morning ….. the smiles when I get home every day make everything worth it

[@coryhobbs5386]

I hope your dad loves this song like I do

[@wnd2845]

One hell of a song. Real story telling. This I what you call music, not the bullshit that’s on the radio. I hope you guys find all the success you deserve.

[@nikitabrusenzov8707]

I cried... man, what you said, that song... thank you

[@jameyjenkins3487]

My son is 4 months old and I wake up everyday and go to work for him and my wife.... This song hit me right in the feels!

[@astrum_nauta]

Jamey Jenkins I have a lot of respect for you and the men like you in this country. Breaking your back all your life to provide for every one else. Thank you for being a hard worker!

[@jamesdelavan9573]

Me too brother, do it everyday for my wife and two kids. They mean everything to me, I can never give them more than enough. Scraping by, loving life and loving God. I'll work until the day that I day.

[@whitetails4life1]

keep chugging along my man

[@joshanthony3726]

I hear you. I put in 60 hours a week just to make sure they have what they need. I'll rest when I'm dead

[@devinstarkey222]

My sons mother and I aren't together anymore but are on amazing terms as friends, I always make sure she is taken care of to help raise our son. I take time out of my day and paycheck make sure she can survive and help provide for our son. We fight like wolves to make sure our son is provided with everything he needs.

[@johnbaker6450]

If this song doesn't move you or hit home, i question your roots, work ethic, and 'Merican-ness!

[@trentwilliams1176]

Not just America mate. Us aussies work our asses off for no pay and no thanks. This is real country

[@MrLineman8144]

That was an incredible comment.......as someone else commented, it makes ur hair stand up.

[@bryandelisle5625]

Everytime I hear it brings tears to my eyes

[@SamuelGarcia-iw2wf]

When I heard this song for the first time it entered my mind and I didn't want to leave it again

[@SCOTTR-D]

Some recognition to the sound engineer needed with this one 👆👆

[@The79woody]

One of those that makes your hair stand on end

Goosebumps every day to/from work playing this song.

[@pierregodeau4286]

His Dad must be proud. My parents always looked after me. Now due to illness I take of them. Really hits home 🙏🏼

[@bigpapi2658]

Damn, I’m 10 years behind!!! This is killer!!

[@RustyAimer787]

Beautiful song! Story of the forgotten American worker!

[@madpogue]

They're not forgotten. I'm blessed to have a "clean fingernails" job, but every day I serve the women and men who climb into holes in the ground, put out house fires, shimmy up trees and chase down bad guys. They're my heroes and will NEVER be forgotten.

[@zeeknollie]

What a cool song. I bet his Pappy is PROUD!

[@harconator]

His Dad and Mom are sitting at the table in this video at 3:27. kzbin.info/www/bejne/porHp6t4ra2LaLc

[@9mochabear3]

I literally called my dad after listening to this song. Lol

[@jtclark877]

Brother, I'm busting my ass from Freeport down to Corpus, down to McAllen. Thank you for this song. I was in tears the first time I ever heard it.

[@frankrandise1487]

This song hit home a bit for me. My dad has always worked 60+ hour weeks just to keep food on the table a roof over our heads. His body can't do it anymore and I feel a sense of responsibility to pick up the gauntlet. I played this song for mom n pop so they would understand how I felt about it. My mom just about cried. Keep it up Uncle Lucius!

[@jokaute70]

How old are you, just wondered?

[@mordacaidog6151]

for 30 yrs i have been living this song god damn this is my life

[@mayoman8565]

This tune reminds me of my dad .He was a ruff and tumble pulp wood man in the 60's.He loved to drink and fight, I guess he was having fun. He lived a tuff life and was never rich. He was the only man to knock out the entire police force in Madison N.C. by himself. He didn't take no shit. He was thrown out of the army for fighting. I guess he was a hard case. He taught me how to drive when i was 6 Ill never forget it It was in 1960.I could not stop laughing. Hes gone now but not forgotten Im 66 years old now I guess I've done it all LIfe has been worth living. In memory of Maynard nolen Peters, Floyd va. I miss ya daddy.

[@balgraeve]

Life isn't easy. Good thing not blaming your dad for those things. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarmineHDz]

Listened to this and thought about my relationship with my father, I don’t understand how he interacts with people all the time but I respect what he’s given up to provide for me and my family and I think he’s given it his best to raise me. I hope I can open up to him more one day

[@fullhouse4454]

Travis - Do it before it’s too late! Heavy burden late! Acknowledging is the first step. A mile in those shoes will help! Kudos for us old Dads! 🙏🏻

[@bartpowers9972]

Travis - no time like the present I would give all I have or could beg to talk to to my daddy do it now 🙏👍

[@zacksingleton2419]

Travis. Don't let time escape you buddy.I promise the last thing you want to do is keep all of those feelings and emotions in until its too late. Tell him bro. Tell him who you are. What you really want out of life. Let him know he raised a fully capable and self sufficient.

[@MDPS26]

This is an amazing live version of this song. These guys have serious chops.

[@GodseyKnives]

There is no greater Honor then taking care of those who once took care of us & Kept the wolves away from us god bless those who get up every day and go to work .

GOD BLESS!

[@brittwolfe4173]

This song makes tears come to my eyes just about every time I hear it. We need more music from Uncle Lucius.

[@jerrywallace1162]

Thanks for putting our struggles to music. I bought your album. I hope helps a little to Keep The Wolves Away.

[@Deacon5992]

From lake Jackson, Tx right next to Freeport. Father worked at BASF in Clute/Freeport and died of cancer when I was 12. This song sure hits close to home. Love it

[@2dResq]

I just can't get enough of talent like this

[@lydialight-clow8167]

I'm stoned but damn this song makes me miss my mom's side of my family so bad. Several of my cousins work on the route as roughnecks and that. All good solid men.

[@matttrella262]

I heard this song for the first time today and it was so powerful, I pulled over to find out who sang it! Beautiful voice as well! One in a kind ♥

[@kathielamb2884]

This kinda song & band doesn't come along everyday; it's absolutely an epic experience listing to em'...I've got musical goosebumps!!!!!

[@sweetpea7583]

This lead vocalist/writer is full of so much soul. I find him and his band hauntingly awesome. PLUS, I understand his message more than most would really believe.

[@FreddyBaggett]

All of these musicians are top notch.. I live in Nashville where great players are on every street corner, these guys are exceptional...blows my musical talent away!

[@spencerwilkinson1156]

This is one of the sickest bands out. Been loving them for a good while. So glad they are getting the respect that's due to them....the three people that don't like this need to get their ears and/or head checked out.

[@TXmusicTV]

Agreed. Amazing act and the few people that dont get that probably just bought front row seats to a Rascal Flats concert.

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

The Texas Music Scene TV way to judge!

[@joelsimms4636]

Or move back to California!

[@magnanimousmatt6425]

Fucking amazing. Thank you. All of You. Hard working people!

Love this song I'm Cajun on my momma's side, but it makes me miss herand miss growing up in New Orleans, my mother was so fun when she was with her sisters! People were all sweet and hardworking, funloving and generous , honestly glad to have experienced life in Louisiana as well as Northern California.

You know it's good when they rock with the squeeze box.
