This was such an underrated song. It’s so beautiful. No matter how many times I hear is I always get covered in goosebumps.

[@69soulseeker]

Her voice is pure magic.

[@captainbart]

This songs intended point came across with the opening lines. Teenagers drinking and than driving, and dying. Joey is every kid with a full life ahead, found in a crumpled pick-up..........dead.More over, there is probably no-one who could be compelled to put such a message to music, but Sugarland. This is just a song, by a band, and yet it brings tears to countless youtubers, and streamers alike. Lets pray it stays that way; the message is there. Just care.

Lost my 17 yr. old son 8/20/2005 (his fathers birthday). in a car crash. His friend also 17 driving to fast on a very rainy night. Joey :( I'll like you for always, I'll love you for ever, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

[@JaimeManring]

5 months or so after my stepson Joey passed away at the mere age of 21, this song came out. It wasn't an accident but a massive heart attack from an underlying medical condition. I'll never forget the first time I heard it with my husband, all the "what ifs". Since then we've grown to understand there is no "what its" it was Gods plan, and only He knows why he he took him so soon. Powerful song.

I just hope she stays away from plastic surgery for awhile ...she does not need implants ECT .....she is a beautiful as it gets right now ....

[@kelleybutler9720]

Russ Post She’s often said she’s not the type for plastic surgery and she’d rather grow old gracefully as she is and surgeries aren’t big on her to do lists. Jennifer also said that she’s not saying anything bad or hateful to others who have had plastic surgeries or plan to have plastic surgery but it’s just not for her. She so very down to earth about how she feels, now she can dress up as gorgeous as any movie star 🌟 but she understands that’s just superficial and she prefers to concentrate more on her son, her health and her spirituality.

[@bclaverenz1]

Bradley Benn ..I couldn’t agree more She is a different level of singer and someone I cannot get enough of

My name is Joey. And i was in a horrible car accident yrs ago it was me and two good friends i was the only survivor. This song is so close to that night in so many ways. Its sad. I miss my friends and am full of regrets 30+ yrs later. But this song in some crazy way helps me. It was quiet cold and to dark to see. Rip in peace my friends.

I lost my brother Bobby and my cousin Joey both to drunk driving accidents, I break down into tears every time I hear this song! I've also lost my son little Bobby and my daughter Bella. Life is just so precious, not many people realize that, we take so much for granted, some things we cannot prevent but some things we can, if you can prevent someone from drinking and driving, please I beg you take the keys, its that one decision that effects many lives. Don't learn the hard way, Don't drink and drive and appreciate the small things and the people around you, value your life! April

Take the greatest care.

[@aprilwino]

This song really hurts because I only discovered it this past summer after my father, a Korean War Veteran, died on July 4, 2013 after 80 years of pain and several years of dementia. I'm so sorry for the things my father and I never said to each other to heal old wounds and to understand each other. Although the song is set in romance for a lover missing another lost lover, it speaks to anyone who lost someone who left too many things unsaid or too many things that could have been done better.

[@hallowedfountain]

Sugarland is great when you need to release pent up raw emotion, have a cry or sing out loud (even out of tune). Every song delivers a story that is can be related to in some way. When I imagine this song I think about the people I loved and let go, and what could have been if things were different. But at the same time it gives me solace because even though you have been through tough times, emotional roller coasters, and loss, Im still alive and singing!

This song gives me the chills. Not long ago, one of my best friends, named Joseph, was in a bad car crash, and if he'd died, this would've been my thoughts exactly. All the what ifs, what could I have done to prevent it. As it is, I just thank God he's alive and mostly well, and still feel a bit guilty because the crash happened between our houses, after we'd hung out one day.

Listened to this over and over when my late fiance died from injures after a guy in his platoon stepped on an IED. He called me the day it happened. He was due to come home in 3 days. He told me that he would have stayed home if I'd asked him not to go. He was due to retire in 6 months and he didn't have to go. If I'd asked him stay with me, Joey would be with me today. It's been 8 years and I still miss him
