With Father’s Day rapidly approaching, now is the time to put something together for dear old dad. And while gifts are nice on such a meaningful day, words straight from the heart often times carry a little more weight. But what do you do when you can’t find the words?

Like with so many other moments in life, country music is here to give us the words we can’t find ourselves. Music has a way of helping us work through our emotions and it’s not uncommon for a song to say exactly what you are feeling.

And it can help you tell dad exactly how you feel about him on Father’s Day.
