Plan. & Community Prop. L.J. 171 (2012).  The introduction the the article is below:

Country singer and songwriter Chris Young sang about his stepdad in a song released in 2006 titled “He’s My Dad.”
I’m 6’4”, he’s 5’10”, still I look up to him, like I did when I was just a kid.
When I’d strike out in little league, he’d sit with mom, and cheer for me.
And he’s been there for me ever since.
He’s more than my stepdad, he’s my Dad.
. . . .
He taught me what it means to be a man, follow my heart and take a stand.
Cuz of who he is I know who I am today.
I’m his son, cuz he’s the one that makes us family now.
Though we come from different worlds, love makes it work somehow.
We don’t share the same last name don’t look anything alike.
