Sugarland - Joey Lyrics






What if I said yes
What if I'd gone out that night
What if you'd turned left
Everything would've turned out alright
What if I'd spoke up
What'd if I'd took the keys
What if I had tried a little harder instead of always trying to please

Joey I'm so sorry
Ohh can you hear me
Joey I'm so sorry

What if I'd said no
What if we'd never fell in love
What if we'd gone slow
Or a little be faster and broken up

Would I know this hurt
Would I feel this pain
Do you know that with all I have left in my very last breath I will call your name

Joey I'm so sorry
Ohoohoh can you hear me?
Joey I'm so sorry

Were you sad
Were you scared
Did you wish for a prayer to be free
Was it quiet and cold
Was it light or too dark to see
And did you reach for me

Joey I'm so sorry
Ohh can you hear me?
Joey I'm so sorry
Oohhhohh can you hear me
Joey I'm so...
Joey I'm so..... sorry

    This is about Joey, but it is also about everyone that doesn’t rock the boat, doesn’t make waves. It is time to stand up and say this far and no farther! You spend your life making compromises but the only thing you compromise is your health and happiness. No way to live.

  11. J.... B....

    I tried Not to like it. Too simple. Yet, Joey must hear it twice a day. For 2 weeks. What else Sgrlnd got?

  74. n.... ....

    Sugerland, c est du rêve ...
    Ils sont un peu trop catho a mon goût, Jennifer voix parfois nasillarde, mais c est du rêve ..
    On a le droite de ne pas aimer. Pas de détester.
    Should I tranlaste ? :P

  75. C.... S....

    Can u hear me ..I'm sooo sorry .. Best of wishes n luck to big head

  76. C.... B....

    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.

  77. K.... D....

    This is the worst disco song I have ever heard.

  78. A.... ....

    this song is PSA. TO DRINKING AND DRIVING

  79. J.... C....

    I love this song but I just don't understand why she's dressed like a pirate.

  80. T.... B....

    When I hear this song I think of Scottie and I hope he's at peace.

  81. B.... ....

    My brother Joey was killed by his wife in 2013,she was a drug addict,and ran him over in her car!

  82. j.... l....

    I forgot about this song

  83. R.... H....

    I knew a girl in Cali that lost a boyfriend to a cat wreck..her name is Sabrina and I miss her
    she means a lot to me!

  84. J.... W....

    the funny thing is about this song is that my dad's name is Joey

  85. T.... H....

    Hi Jennifer , how are you

  86. I.... T....

    My names Joey and this reminds me of a girl a long time ago that I hurted and it reminds me of her...sad

  87. K.... G....

    I love show

  88. B.... B....

    Jennifer Nettles is one of the most talented female singers/artists of all time. All that power and control ! It's bone chilling ! She's never flat, never sharp and unbelievable sustain with power until the end. unbelievable talent. bennjammin
