It's been a tough year for Billy Ray Cyrus, but the Achy Breaky Heart singer finally feels life is on the up at last, and most importantly that he's "got my Miley back."

Cyrus opens up to the ladies in a pre-taped interview on The View Friday, sharing that he and his precious daughter are working through their problems - and RadarOnline.com can bring you a snippet of his interview.

When asked how his relationship is now with his superstar daughter, Cyrus says: "The best it's ever been. I feel like I kind of got my Miley back in a way. I feel like we are the daddy and the daughter that we were before Hannah Montana happened. Our communication, we have laughed a lot in the last couple of days."
