country song title... a little help please

[MilkToast]

So... I am looking for the artist and title of a country song that was rather popular on the radio about a year (maybe a little longer) ago. It is basically about a guy whom wishes he can be as good a father to his son as his adoptive father was to him. Anyone know which song it is?

thanks!
