  • 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
    Oh oh 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 bit 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
    Oh oh can you hear me
    Joey I'm so sorry

    Were you sad
    Were you scared
    Did you whisper 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
    Oh oh can you hear me
    Joey I'm so sorry

    Oh oh can you hear me
    Joey I'm so
    Joey I'm so, sorry Writer/s: BILL ANDERSON, JENNIFER NETTLES, KRISTIAN BUSH

  • Camille from Toronto, OhThe way Jennifer Nettles sings this song makes it one of the very saddest songs I have ever heard in my life. I heard it a couple times and thought "Is this about what I think?" and now that I looked up the lyrics, I don't think I can bear to listen to it again, it is that sad. That said, Jennifer Nettles voice is one of the most underrated and underappreciated in the music business! She has that unique sound that's all her own. I also love her fashion style and that she doesn't flaunt her sexuality...she doesn't have to, she's so talented and so gifted musically!
  • Coleen from San Antonio, TxThe first time I heard this song I began to cry uncontrolably! In September of '07 on homecoming night my nephew Joey was killed in a drunk driving accident with 3 other teenagers. I remember my niece saying..."What if I would have went to that party with them. He never would have been in that car." Many have lived the lyrics in this song.
  • Samantha from West Charleston Vermont, Vtthis has got to be one of the most saddest song i have ever heard. i can also relate to this song my friend nathan currie went missing 2 years ago and the last time i got to c talk to him was in his car and i never saw him again and i ask what if i went with him or what if i told him to stay with me or what if i could turn back time to tell him what was gonna happen. it is an on going thing for me. i have many regrets for that night.
