[@patkeeler6645]

❤he's gone

[@jeromebruner4307]

Old country is like our nation, we need to go back to our roots.

[@mikeabbott7016]

One of the best that will be missed by me and a lot of others. RIP Joe.

[@willgaukler8979]

... seems like we just got to know him and he is gone ... RIP Joe ...

[@DavidSmith-zo9xe]

Joe Diffe was a National Treasure! Most people didn't realize what we had until he was gone. His voice will live forever in the heart of his fans.

[@rachellebourque1299]

R.I.P many hearts are breaking today, you are and always will be one of the best

[@patkeeler6645]

❤his tunes

[@hellothere7605]

This is what I grew up with. I always had a vivid imagination and could just listen to country songs, telling a story, and see it play out in my head. So much more creativity than now.

[@michaelsnook4170]

I hear ya I miss the stories in a song. That’s what is missing in most of today’s country music

[@dvdshaver]

I miss real country music like this! Not this Hick-Hop crapp we have today! !! Bring back Country Music !!! Love me some Joe Diffie!!!

[@Michael-gh4dt]

I know right you got rappers trying to sing country country singers rapping then put it all together it raparockbilly lol

[@patkeeler6645]

❤that told a story

[@robertmcelrath2954]

Rip Joe Diffie. This song has much meaning to me buddy.

[@Slacker-zc3qo]

R.I.P Joe... You will never be forgotten

[@theroamingokie5438]

RIP Joe. Gone way too soon

[@bigbluemsp]

I thought that life was runnin' off Leavin' me behind So like a fool I jumped the fence Just to see what I could find But love kept disappearing like Children chasing fire flies in the dark And to think that I once had it all In my own backyard You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball An angel with a glass of tea, laughin' at the kids and me All soakin' wet from washin' that old car And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard That bare spot's grown over now Where third base used to be And the weeds have choked out all the flowers But they can't kill the memories Lord, I'd love to run back home But there's no one there for me And that grass I used to hate to mow Sure is lookin' green Ohh, you'd never know it now, but I used to have it all A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball An angel with a glass of tea, laughin' at the kids and me All soakin' wet from washin' that old car And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all Spoken: Once I had everything Sing again: In my own back yard...

[@neilalexanderwalker5855]

Powerful lyrics

[@waynekelley2029]

Joe you’re the man keep singing in heaven

[@derekmajors5637]

Wow guys... We just lost a legend. RIP

[@shawnoandrew]

It's getting personal now when this Covid-19 takes our memory makers.

[@DeerbrookSouthernRR]

This song chokes me up. When I was just a young boy I had a swing set my grandfather built for me. I had a plastic pool from Walmart. My shaggy dog Toby who’s passed on. Now I open the door to the yard and it’s all gone. Like they say time marches on

[@margaretgolden1141]

zgoe you dtell have it all you are the best I love you

[@picksalittle]

The 87 thumbs down hate country music, but probably love Kane Brown and Luke Bryan

[@ChristopherChamberlain-fw2iy]

Amen to that brother

[@judywingler1712]

[@josephscottmorgan4435]

We'll always love ya Joe RIP.

[@TheBurkey45]

Take notes Nashville this is the kinda music that made you

[@kennedykiser557]

The grass is NEVER greener on the other side, only looks like it is. Fix what's wrong with what you have instead of looking to start something new with another. Play in your own backyard.

[@christph3118]

Kenneth Kiser That’s the whole point of this song

[@cynthiawilson3811]

Wow..I had forgotten how much I loved to hear him sing.

[@kennethorr2795]

So sad he is gone. Will never be another one like him! World need more Joe Diffies !

[@nameofuser789]

Still can't believe he's gone. Hands down the best country singer of the 90's!

[@Redmallard]

Great voice we can cherish forever THANK YOU JOE.

[@chrismckinney5110]

I can't believe he's no longer with us 😭 sing for the Angels Joe, we'll sure miss you here, fly high and thanks for the music you gave us fans 😭

[@keith2915]

Good song brings back memories

[@christianwatson1566]

Sad to hear he's gone prop him up beside a jukebox when I die love ya joe you will be missed just seen him in Tomball three weeks ago wow

[@mrmemyselfandi9609]

Oh my goodness! He probably never in a million years thought three weeks later would be his last day on earth. But none of us know...so...love God...love your neighbor as yourself...trust in Jesus...and give what life you do have away to bless others. How was the show? Sound good? Was he with Sammy Kershaw and Aaron Tippin and a band or just acoustic? I wish I could have gone. He was truly a country legend

[@KevinPiland]

Ladies and gentlemen Joe Diffie is in #JukeboxHeaven.

Joe hit #19 in Billboard, 5-28-94. God bless!

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

Country music has been the backdrop of my entire life, and the last few weeks have been terribly difficult for us country music fans. First Kenny Rogers, now Joe Diffie - both legendary artists in their own rights who played huge parts in defining the heart of country music. RIP Joe Diffie - there will never be another quite like you. Fly High.

[@kristalprice9064]

I miss the 90's country great country ..now country is just pop ..

[@leewilson9890]

You people need to realize a lot of these artist we grew up with like Joe and other faves are in their 60's They are having health issues ...they can't be doing these city by city tours and long day and night concert they cant travel like they did in their younger prime days ..But they still do a show ever so offten..!!

[@veggiegal1]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!!

[@walksthesehills]

Country at its best.

[@KuralaiKasymjanova]

WOW! What a good looking man with beautiful voice! Just discovered this artist! Great music!

[@christph3118]

What a loss.So much talent .Rip Joe

[@DDMMI]

IMHO this was the last era of Genuine Country Music. It is still out there, but you have to search for it outside of Nashville.

[@patricksal4]

[@digitalcowboy37]

I'm sorry.I'm not very good at English I am this music that permeates the mind . It is a very good song. It is a very favorite song. It is a melody that I hum to me if you have time. I want to sing in a small stage somewhere someday.

[@joemichaels4231]

Yup!!! Simply amazing!!!
