i love you joey your always going to be in our hearts no matter what theres nothing that will let me forget you your aways on my mind i wish i could talk to you right now and give you a hug but i hope your happy were yu are now i know the angels will take good care of you! ='( <3
I think its about her regretting not taking the keys from him.I work in a level trauma center and I see this alot please people stand up and No or take the keys
I lost my Joey... not in this way, but I did. I lost the best thing that ever happened to me and he totally forgot about me.. :(
"What if I said 'no'? What if we never fell in love? What if we'd gone slow or a little bit faster and broken up? Would I know this hurts? Would I feel this pain?"
the day after me and my boyfriend broke up this song came on and his name was joey i cryed for hours it was a stupid this that i did and i want to take it all back but he wont forgive me aww now im crying :( plzzz take me joey!!!!!
@Andromedaazar It's about a boy who died in a car accident (either he was drunk, or the driver that hit him was) and how she regretted not stopping him. Actually, I think it was about him dying in an accident because he was drunk because she says "what if I took the keys"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She looks like cameron diaz's crack-whore older sister ; ) ..cover up them deflated fun-bags....isn't one melissa etheridge one too many ? Over-emoting, it HAS to stop !
Glad I could put it into words for you ; )...I really hate to be negative but somebody HAS to say somthing or Celine Dion might someday end up being Queen of Canada, or Michael Bolton Prime Minister, the noise cannot go on un-abated. Helmet-laws SUCK ! ; }
Guess that's a rhetorical question...it's winter, can't swim, ride, or drink and drive, thanks to frozen lakes, deer, and Mad Mothers..not necessarily in that order.
@celloprofundo stfu you hate her then leave...nothin' nice to say dont say anything at all...your prolly jealous cuz u dont have her looks, voice, and personality.
and this song goes out to all of the people that have lost family..in any way.. may god be with them in these hard times!!! :) and every day .. all through out the year , !
I love this song.. After my friend chris died in a car accident I couldnt listen to this song with out crying.. Its a great song and I can relate to it.. Rest in peace Chris
This song tells the story of my husband, Joey! He did not die in a car accident, but overdosed on pain meds. He died in our living room. I feel guilty because I didn't know he was dying instead of sleeping.
Joey, I'm so sorrry, and I love you forever with all my heart and soul. I will always be your loving wifey!
Sometimes you do try and your friend is stubborn. You can't hold it against her, it's not her fault her friend drove drunk, it's the friend's own fault.
this song is about a person that Jennifer (lead singer) knew who was drunk and she knew but still let him drive and he killed himself in a car accident
My name is Joey. This is a very good song and it has a great name also haha i think its about "joey" maybe getting a car wreck? and she is calling to out to him because she thinks its her fault? correct me if im wrong
This is the 1st time I really heard this song what happend who is Joey I dont mean to sound mean or anything I understand the song but I dont unerstand what happend who is Joey.I hope you take me the worng way for asking.
Thank you it does make a lot of Scenes caues I know what its like to losse someone in a drunk driving accident.I understand now again thank you for telling me.Caues it does sound like it I have to agree.
1st comment saying I hope you take me the worng way for asking I did not mean that I am sorry about that I missed spelled what I meant to say was dont take me the worng way.
i'm asking an innocent question here: what do people find so good about her voice? just wondering. i'm not trying to be an ass, but her voice holds no appeal for me.
That's a fair question and you are entitled to your opinion. The appeal to me is that she has a lower pitch sexy voice not a girly bimbo-ish voice (like Britney Spears for example) and a certain style of singing that you know it's her and no one else. But if you're not into that country sound (esp. that you can hear the southern accent in her lyrics) than she wouldn't have any appeal to you. No big deal.
This isn't about her. If you read Bill Anderson co wrote this song and as they were righting it figured out exactly what the song was about.. Read up on things before you post.
'Joey' is a teen tragedy song. It's important to set the stage in the first few lines -- sort of when the curtain rises, it's what we see in the first scene. So the idea of, 'What if I had said yes? What if I had gone out that night? What if you had turned left, and everything would've turned out alright?' And then we just went from that into, 'Oh my God, this is a car accident, and this is someone who is lamenting the loss of this boyfriend.' Bill said this is like the song Last Kiss.
This song right her is the best song i think i have ever heard... although she is singing about her and her love... it still reminds me of my cousin Chris... he died in 2005... at age 20 in a car crash behind my house... he suffered and then he passed on... and for this Chris... Im so sorry... love u chris... IM SO SORRY....
Me and my friends dedicate this song to our friend Joe who just lost his girlfriend. Both at the age of 16 and he has to move on. We're sorry Joe, we all miss her. RIP Sammy. 10-16-92--8-24-09
I love this song. I heard it today on the way to school and I sang along with it as if I'd heard a million times before, but this was the first time I've ever heard it. And I figured out what it was talking about. It's talking about the fact her boyfriend died in a car crash.
What if I said yes What if I'd gone out that night What if you'd turned left And everything would've turned out alright What if I spoke up What if I took the keys What if I had tried a little harder Instead of always trying to please Chorus: Joey, I'm so sorry Oh can you hear me? Joey, I'm so sorry
I have a friend named Joey,
and every time I yell Joey, I follow it up with.. "I'm so SORRY!!"
Haha. I love this song.(:
