Listening to this today on Veterans day. My husband was a Vietnam Veteran who died of Agent Orange.. 55 years later.. I miss him more and more.. it doesn't go away..🇺🇸❤🙏😥🇺🇸❤🙏😥🤘🎵🎶
My mom told me to listen to this song. January 29th, my grandpa, the man who raised me passed away. He wasn't perfect by any means but he did everything he could to give me a good life and his biggest wish was that he would live long enough to see me get grown. He managed to hold out just long enough to see that. He was never good at showing love, but I know that if he never loved anybody else, he loved me with everything he had in him. I still miss you papa, but I hope that you finally found peace and I know we'll see each other again. 💜
First time I heard this song I started to cry because it reminded me of my Pop-pop, after my dad left when I was 10 my pop stepped up and took his place. He took me hunting and fishing, he bought me my first legal drink on my 21st birthday. He was there for me in all my ups and downs I knew I could alway count on him he was always there for me. I miss you so much Pop like the song say I hope I’m making you proud until we meet again please save a cloud next to you and Nanny for me.
Hey man, coming from a man with a completely similar experience having my grandfather being father figure growing up and going too soon the feeling is a long one it never gets easy but it becomes bearable prayers to you 🙏🏻
I'm so so sorry. I hope your doing okay. I know it's online and stuff, but I want to tell you to not give up, and to keep going. Your strong, and deserve very good thing you have. Your dad is proud to have you as a child. I hope this helped
Tears flowed, but I Love hearing you sing "Down Home" tonight at ACM Awards. I know your Dad is proudly smiling down on you. Such a wonderful tribute to your Dad and beautiful birthday present to your Mom.❤😇🎂🌹
My dad lost his life to a battle of addiction, I only caused problems while he was here. After losing you, I changed my ways. I met a girl, we got a home, we had a son, i found a career that took me in like you always would. I pray to god you can see me. I wish you could’ve met Caleb, but one day you will pops. I miss you
Just heard this on American Idol. I lost my Daddy April 5, 2021. Every single day is so very hard, but I know he is looking down and I know he is proud that we are living life. I’m sure your Dad is proud and is waiting on you t9 get there!

I heard this song for the first time Father's Day weekend as I was driving to Florida National Cemetery to visit my father who passed away August of 2021. I had to pull over, could not see through the tears. It has been a long time since a song has moved me that much. Thank you for this song!
Jimmie Allen, when you said the lyric “I bet you’re making everybody laugh with your jokes” it makes me think of a boy I knew who passed away he used to always tell jokes and was so nice 💔😭
Everyone who has lost an important figure in your life, I'm so so sorry. but i want you all to know that you are strong and will get through this. Never have any doubt that they aren't looking down to you and saying "That one's mine" from up there. I've lost some people too. Your not alone. Sending love
Love this song my husband passed away from a heart attack a few months ago unexpectedly 49 years old we have 8 children 4 young still at home our 13 yr old son showed me this song and said mom this song fits dad perfectly it reminds me of dad soo much I didn't even get half way through the song and balled my eyes out. This is a great song you did an amazing job on this one it really hits home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesterday, my mom told me to listen to this song, and as I was listening to it in the car, she said this song reminds me of Auntie Susie, which is my aunt and she passed away for some reason we don’t know which I’m really sad about but this song just makes me happy
Brought tears to my eyes on the way home from work today. My dad didn’t get to see me finish school and start my career due to covid a couple years back. “Up there making new friends” hit so fast. I always admired how easily he could spark a conversation with a complete stranger and we always talk about how he’s up there fishing & bbq. Thank you for this. Miss you, Pops
Kept hearing this song around the one year mark since my dad passed. Playing it for my son one day, he said daddy you have a f350 not a 150 lol. Made me come up with our own verse that fits us in SOCO “There ain't a day down here that goes by That I don't climb up in my F350 On a mountain road bumping Chris Ledoux Yeah, every song keeps you right here with me I got couple boys now I really wish you'd have met Yeah, they’re running around, but I know you see every step I teaching how to wrench every chance I get”
I was today years old (Sept. 19, 2022) when I heard this. Stumbled across this song, and the tears rolled down my face real slow. My daddy was my Everything. He lost his battle with cancer in August of 2008. It's been 14 years, and I miss him more and more each year. Thank you Mr. Allen for this song. Sometimes I need to know that I'm not the only person missing their daddy...no matter how old you get.💛
Love this song My Daddy died when he was 83 you lost your dad when he was younger. This song let me know how blessed I was to have him that long. Your father will miss so much , but he is looking down from heaven . Love you Q
Oh man, you don’t know how bad I needed this. My dad passed away last August unexpectedly and I’ve really been struggling with it. But those lyrics “If there’s a golden pond full of fish, I bet you already caught everything in it” that made me break down. I’ve always been a Jimmie Allen fan but now even more so. Thank you so much for this.
Same here i heard this on the radio and I had to pull over cause I was crying so bad. I lost my father in September of last year and I've been so lost without him. I'm sorry for your loss as well I know it hurts.
Jimmy we just watched you on American Idol and you are the real thing!❤️ The advice you gave the contestants was spot on. It was like you took on the Father Figure and I have so much respect for that. You are an amazing man and I know your Daddy is so proud of you. LoniD
I'm so sorry. I want to share a quote with you because everyone needs to hear it. "People don't cry because they are too weak, it's because hey have been strong for far too long." Hope this resonates with you, I hope your doing a bit better. Much love.
How can a person not to cry listening to this song. I lost my Dad to cancer years ago. It's still breaks my heart he's not here. Jimmie is a talented musician! His Dad is looking down on him so proud of who he's become.I have loved Jimmies music since before he was on "Dancing with the Stars". Truth, he should have won!! 😊❤️
Love this Jimmie Allen.. missing my husband so much this morning. He died almost 3 years ago if Agent Orange from Vietnam. 55 years later it took him. 😢🇺🇸✌🎵🎶🤘🇺🇸❤🙏
I am listening to this song remembering two woman that was always by my side my grandma who passed away February 12th 2007 then my cousin vicki who passed away February 3rd 2006 ugh missing them like crazy I am so sad cause I lost two very important people on my life
Lost my dad at the age of 5 & I’m 68 years young. Love this song & the lyrics hit home hard for me. Excellent job, Jimmy Allen, and I’m sure your dad is proud of you. That was one thing I always wanted was to know my dad was proud of me in life. FYI: I love me some grits.
This song hit my heart hard. My dad passed away 28 yrs ago and I turned on the TV this morning and you and this song came on. First time I heard it. My grandson passed away in July and left behind his 4 yr old son so it double hit me !!!
Holy moley, I listened to you sing this on American Idol and was bawling. Losing our parent is hard. My mom has been gone for 38 years and this song made me very emotional. My dad has been gone 17 years.
My wives mom died when she was 14, and how she makes a lot of money - but, prides herself on how much she gives away. She grew up VERY poor. I grew up poor to lower middle class because of my mom, and she died when I was 26, but at least she saw me go to college and get married. I have been married for over 35 years, but STILL wish she was here! Moms are EVERYTHING, and GREAT dads are KING of 'our' worlds!!!!
Aloha 🌴 Jimmie Allen ❤️ I was touched hearing you sing on American Idol tonight. I heard your song for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes. I lost my Dad in 2020 and miss him Dearly 😥❤️🙏
A couple months after my grandpa passed (he was my dad figure) I had a really tough day at work and got in my car and was driving home and I was flipping through the channels and for some reason (and I’ve never done this before) I put the radio on 92.5 and this song came on. I cried the rest of the drive home October 18th will make 2 years
Thank you Mr. Allen your new song transports me back to a time when I had an older brother that while no Angel himself always made sure I was following house rules. He’d walk me home before he took off again to enjoy his night life. He is an amazing awesome big brother and I’ve tried to do what he would have loved for me to do. Respect ✊ May your star continue to rise 💫 your voice is perfection
This song reminds me so much of my son his dad passed away when he was 13 and he now 30 just bought a home got married and is expecting a little girl June 10. Great song
Today would have been my brothers birthday sitting here with my daughter that he never got to meet telling how her uncle Jay is in heaven holding a largemouth bass grinning from ear to ear having a blast and making friends with all of your guys loved ones that are fishing that golden pond to all of you up there your gone but your never forgotten and will tell your stories to every generation after you live on in are hearts we are blessed to have had are time with you ..
My brother passed away on July 29 2022 and this song comes on and hell of an Amen everytime I get in the car and I think of him everytime I hear them songs God how I wish my brother was still here with me
Lost my grandpa who was my father in February of last year n this song hits hard I love it especially the fishing part cause I know he and my Uncle has surely caught every fish or hunted every rabbit n squirrel by now 💜
That is so beautiful there are so many country songs out there now I can't count I just love country music so much it don't matter how stress out I'm in all I have to do is play country music then I'm better
Heard this song when I was driving to the doctor's office today, and broke down while I was driving, my close friend died recently and also it reminded me of my dad. Great song though.
