Idk why but it reminds me of the theme in "Man I wanna be," by Chris Young & "Waitin on a woman," by Brad Paisley (which had Andy Griffith btw). Anyone else agree?
this song ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes. Poor Joe and Joe's brother. Joe tried to be on time just once in his life and it cost him his life. Morgan Freeman's narration makes it an even better music video.
I remember when he used to play in Columbia, MO then stop at the Holiday Inn Airport in St. Louis to stay the night with his band. I worked there at the time and they were always so nice to me. I still have the CD and letter of thanks that he left 15 years ago. He deserves much more recognition!
I havent heard this song in years, something made me think about it today and it stuck in my head till I could remember it, so glad I refound this great song
This is the SADDEST song!! This song can EVEN make a 27yr old guy like me get all emotional. This is why I LOVE Country Music sooo much!! No other genre of music can move me as much as a good 'ole Country Song! :)
My mom had this cd when it came out, blasted it every damn day for probably 90 days straight. As much as it drove me crazy because I was a teenager into hip hop and rock, I love every song to this day. He played in my town of Wilkes barre PA at the woodlands probably over ten years ago. I regret not taking my mom, but we didn't know he was there. Idk if she liked his music, or if she just thought he was hot. Or both....
I have a lot of people waiting on me in heaven. 2 sets of grandparents, my mom and dad, my sister, and a nephew that never got to breathe on earth plus several aunts and uncles. I came close to joining them many times (I didn't win the genetic lottery you might say) but I am still kicking. Life is short, cherish the ones you have.
this song make me cry every time i listend to it. I cry my eyes out every time it says i didn't get to tell my brother goodbye. i didn't get to tell my grandma good bye. we were closer than me and my mothwer was. its been a long 2 years and i still cry for not getting to say good bye. rip grandma.
ive watched this video sooo many times, and it still makes me cry :( it's beautiful and should have gotten more recognition then it did. steve is amazing.
Yeah I lost my brother Joe lewallen in 2000 he was killed in a car wreck in Florida n left behind two loving sons n a girlfriend who should of been his wife as long as they were together I'll miss u Joe. Ur brother. Billy lewallen
30 something years of my life spent in Greenville, MS..where this video was shot....been gone for 7 years now & couldnt wait to get away. After seeing this video just brings back memories of that place ..who would have ever thought that...cool to see Steve go back & make a video from where he is from & use the locals on top of that. Deinately miss Shipley's Dohnuts...we have one here...but its NOWHERE close to the one back home. My parents still live there...so we get back every now & then.
Recently, a friend of my father's lost two daughters and a great-granddaughter in a house fire. My father, mother and I went to the funeral service. Listening to this song makes me think of them. It almost brings me to tears. G. Matthew Hall
I don't know what it is about this song but every time I hear it, it reminds me of my dad. I know its about his brother Joe but to me that guy named Joe is all about my father who I have waited my whole life for. Only in this video that guy named Joe is actually me, to my sister and his brother Joe is our father. Its a story of brothers, yet in the back story it is my sister waiting on me.
This song released shortly after my baby brother was killed in a freak auto accident. We didn't have the privilege of growing up together and we were both young adults enjoying our new relationship and just like that, he was gone. I loved a state away, and at that time, we didn't have cell phones. The police in my town told everyone they didn't know where we were, so I found out about him passing almost a month later. I still haven't forgiven myself. I miss you so so much, Little Joe.
We lost My brother he got hit by the train years ago . .there was 6 in the car and all deceased. This song brings back so many memories good and bad but I still listen to it..Our family was devastated .
I use this song to describe my ex who is apty named Joe. I used to tease him until I realized that at the end it talks about the brother dying in a car wreck. We just had a young man pass away about a year ago and now this song is hard to hear
They are good friends and have been for a while..that's cool!! Steve is a great songwriter.. and Morgan....... well you all know!! I believe this collaboration was a "Bucket list" for both..wouldn't you say??!!!
When my cousin was 3 or 4 he use to sing this song so much and "I'll walk" and he's 7 now with a 4 year old brother and I hope this song shows them how fast someone can be gone
When I was 16 years old, way before tv recording was available, me and my brother would wait at the house on Friday evenings for this music video to come on. We would watch it and go out for the evening...nothing ever bad, just country boy fun...riding dirt roads..hanging out with friends..drinking cold beers! I served in the Marine Corps from 07’ to 12’..when times got really bad I always went to this song and my older brother for comfort! Great song, nothing matters more than family! Friends come and go but my brother has always been there for me when I needed him! Semper Fi!
I've been on the tow boats for 9 years, I was to.busy all the time, always working. Never had time to talk, to, to backup my brother,.help out my brother Joe with his addiction, Joe rivera. I wish would have put you my family first, quit my job and be by your side to help you with your addiction , my twin brother joe, I'm sorry, at least your suffering is over, I will always miss you.
I first heard this song when I was 10. I first saw the video when I was 11, and never really listened to Morgan Freeman's part...just skipped to the song. I'm 15 now..and today was the first day I ever really paid attention to Morgan Freeman's intro...and I know this sounds cheesy...but it saved my life...all I can say is thank you Steve Azar for the song and thank you Morgan Freeman for your words. :)
my aunt is in this video she has brown hair. and in jim:'s café and the lady with the baby with curly hair is my cousin and I love this sonnnnggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!//
worked with a guy named joe when this song came out. me and old joe became real good friends. lifes moved on and we went separate ways several years ago. old joe passed away a few months ago. i miss that guy, RIP Bondo Kidd
OMG, I remeber my dad showing this song to me as a little girl, about nine years ago. I've been looking for this song for forever, but forgot who sang it and the title until I clicked on this from another video. Great song!
@tuph63 I wondered the same thing & then recently he came out with his new release on country radio called "Sunshine", a beautiful tune. I always have thought that Steve Azar never got the recognition that he deserved especially for this song.
What a great song. Amazing, deep lyrics! And how about Morgan Freeman-that guy just has a way about him that makes you feel something! im real close with my older brother, when i hear this song i just choke up-cant imagine not having him around. Scares me. Songs like this just arent played on the radio enough.
i'm always waiting on my younger brother but i thank the lord that I still have him here to wait on thank you god that i still have both of my brothers
This song reminds me of my friend lil’ Tommy Bearden. His name wasn’t joe, and he didn’t get killed by a train, but something about it makes me think of Tommy B

between Steve Azar's great performance and voice & Morgan Freeman, this has to be one of the best country videos of all time
Far from it, but good video
Love this song!
You’re right!

@@benhoffman8539What are your top three country music songs?
this song ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes. Poor Joe and Joe's brother. Joe tried to be on time just once in his life and it cost him his life. Morgan Freeman's narration makes it an even better music video.
Steve never forgets where he came from. Comes home often.
It's good to never forget
That's because Greenville was one of the best hometowns to be from....thanks Steve
That's only leyends come on please
@@laurasmallwood5611 is because your burn right there
i love morgan freeman's voice. such a perfect narrating voice
morgan freeman sure put life in perspective in the opening of this song
Ain't that just the absolute truth
@@mellissaconway6284 having just lost my dog, I can confirm, this got to me.
I'm pretty sure I want Morgan Freeman to preside over my funeral
For real
I just lost my brother and we both loved this song. He was taken too soon. Miss you Matthew. I hope I get to see you again.
You will your brother again I Haven when it your time to go
I think the message is loud and clear: Always appreciate what you have, for someday they will be gone. :)
I fall in love with this song when it first came out.
And seen Steve and Bob Seger in concert and it was awesome.
And I still love this song in 2024.
Anyone listening #2024??
I won a guitar autographed by him ! I always loved this song ! It relates to my job ! I am a Towboat pilot !
I remember when he used to play in Columbia, MO then stop at the Holiday Inn Airport in St. Louis to stay the night with his band. I worked there at the time and they were always so nice to me. I still have the CD and letter of thanks that he left 15 years ago. He deserves much more recognition!

Love Steve Azar's music.I grew up in the Greenville area, and danced to his music all during my 20's. Very proud of Steve!!
Great song Steve! Where can I buy the video?.

I havent heard this song in years, something made me think about it today and it stuck in my head till I could remember it, so glad I refound this great song
Me too, I couldn't remember the title, but knew it had something to do with Joe. So glad I found it!
Same!!
Me too. Strange how sometimes what you need to hear just pops up out of nowhere...
Steve Azar's is one Hell of A MAN.
Radio 99.7 needs to play this song daily
God Bless Steve Azar for performing such a great song!!! I heard this for the first time in 2002 and I still love.
This is the saddest song ive ever heard, i dont cry and this brings tears to my eyes.
This is the SADDEST song!! This song can EVEN make a 27yr old guy like me get all emotional. This is why I LOVE Country Music sooo much!! No other genre of music can move me as much as a good 'ole Country Song! :)
Thanks my Mississippi brother! Great song/video/message
Love Morgan Freeman too!
I listen to this very often. Keep The Faith and Count your Blessings. Sheila Cawthon
Thank you, Steve, for this song.
Hello Steve. This is Sheila. Eveytime l hear this song I flashback on MS. Keep The Faith 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Steve played at our high school dances at St. Joe in Greenville. He always had that gift of music, I'm glad the rest of y'all appreciate it now.

Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
Pretty powerful words by Morgan Freeman like always!!!
Just realized that was Morgan Freeman, I cant beloeve I just realized thay was him after all of his movies Ive watched.
@@MC-hs4mfMr. Freeman always has something to say and he doesn’t have to say a huge amount of words to speak volumes.
Incredible song. My favorite country song video. Masterful.
this song make me cry every time i listend to it. I cry my eyes out every time it says i didn't get to tell my brother goodbye. i didn't get to tell my grandma good bye. we were closer than me and my mothwer was. its been a long 2 years and i still cry for not getting to say good bye. rip grandma.

Seems like another life time since I heard this. Thanks for posting!
Everything about this song is pure brilliance... I mean everything!
Saw Steve @ Barefoot Landing playing golf. A great guy, very talented and a pretty good golfer. He made some new fans.
I'm a singer/songwriter but I've never played golf. Now I'm ready for the challenge!
A TRULY GREAT SONG, STORY & PERFORMANCE !
This is a great song that doesn't get played on radio anymore.
I love this song! Crying now. My younger brother is SO slow to get anywhere! And a much older family friend absolutely loved this song
ive watched this video sooo many times, and it still makes me cry :( it's beautiful and should have gotten more recognition then it did. steve is amazing.
I have 2 older brothers and if I lost one of them I would feel bad and be crying my eyes out for 3 weeks
It's true, sometimes you just got to let somebody be who they are no matter what.
Makes you appreciate what you got in your life.
This was very sad to be played on the radio, but I remember it on CMT very well.
Steve hit #28 in '02. Loved Morgan as 'Easy reader' on the original Electric Company, back in the '70s. God bless ya, for postin' it!
i love the intro ............great song
Well you make a good point in your comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
Definately underrated as far as quality country songs go.
Touching song. Loved it in the beginning. Thoughts of a lost friend.
This one always makes me cry but it also reminds me not to worry about why I am waiting on someone and be thankful I have that someone to wait for.
Yeah I lost my brother Joe lewallen in 2000 he was killed in a car wreck in Florida n left behind two loving sons n a girlfriend who should of been his wife as long as they were together I'll miss u Joe. Ur brother. Billy lewallen

Lovely comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Intro guitar is the best part.
I'm proud to say Steve's singing about our hometown Greenville, Ms. It was so good to see familiar places in the video💕💕💕
Yes 😍 I haven't been home in a few years but I know where all of these places are and when I get homesick I come and watch this video ❤
I use this song to describe my ex who is apty named Joe. I used to tease him until I realized that at the end it talks about the brother dying in a car wreck. We just had a young man pass away about a year ago and now this song is hard to hear
It wasn't a car wreck; he died on the train tracks, because he was always late for the train.
Thats true!!!! Love this song!!!!!!!😔😔😔😔😔😔
Well you make a good point in your comment,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
No crap, I started to listen to this, and a train came through my town...
Well you make a good point in your comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Pure brilliance... everything about this.
I love this song you can actually feel it
Who is this underrated guy? 💗
One of my favorite actors, he and Clint in "Unforgiven" was an unforgettable movie
I love story songs!
They are good friends and have been for a while..that's cool!! Steve is a great songwriter.. and Morgan....... well you all know!! I believe this collaboration was a "Bucket list" for both..wouldn't you say??!!!
I would say!
This song pops into my head once in awhile,and I spend more time searching for it because I can’t remember the name. Grrrrrr
Beautiful song though.
This is one of those times that I'm swole up with pride to be from Mississippi.
Great song
When my cousin was 3 or 4 he use to sing this song so much and "I'll walk" and he's 7 now with a 4 year old brother and I hope this song shows them how fast someone can be gone

A LOT of singer/songwriters don't get recognized for their gifts and contributions. It's just part of the game in the business

Scares me. Songs like this just arent played on the radio enough.
love it, so sad n beautiful!
Dear Joe where in the heck you been? I know I remember more than you think I do
Steve and James House just did a fundraiser for the Foundation of Arts in Jonesboro Arkansas. It was incredible they were incredible.
This would make a great movie
I've always thought that.
I lost a good friend, Joe, over ten years ago. I miss him.
i'm always waiting on my younger brother but i thank the lord that I still have him here to wait on thank you god that i still have both of my brothers
An excellent video!
Great song…A lot different from the Sprinkler.. Greenville,MS had Great musical talents, Congratulations Steve on your success.
What a song
this song reminds me of my uncle
Well you make a good point in your comment, Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
