@@Redbirds1100 29 years for me, I sadly have to say that it affected me even years later, two that might have been great relationships I purposely never allowed myself to let it get to that point for fear that it would happen again.
For the most part, he lays back and simply accompanies her for the song. I hate Henley as a person, but David Geffen is right. Golden Throat is a great nickname for him. He's a fine singer, songwriter and musician. One of the best.
The line "She only wanted love, didn't bargain for this, she can't help but love him for the way he is" may be one of the most beautiful lines ever recorded. The way Trisha and Don's voices blend in the harmony is just perfection.
When I first heard it, I thought exactly the same thing. Just masterful how the voices become one. This is something that Don has spent a lifetime doing with the Eagles, and further examples of this are his duets with Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth - "No Mistakes" is beautiful in this regard to.
I grew up with this song. Been listening since the 90s, never knew it was Matthew in the video 😂❤ thank you for enlightening me I usually just listen .
I always loved how her mom took her back into her arms. I thought I knew better when I was young and all I got was condemnation. That only left me vulnerable to more walk away Joe's. Parents, love and forgive your children while they learn through their mistakes.
I ended up marrying my walkaway Joe. I spent nearly six years being abused by him until I found the courage to leave him. My family also condemned me for my mistake. I ended up in the arms of an Air Force Sergeant 30 days after the divorce was finalized and that Air Force Sergeant and I have been married for almost 9 years.
Amen. Here for it still, August 2021. It just never gets old. I keep it on my 90s country playlist. I miss ALOT of 90s music. But this??? This was a collaboration that was totally underrated for its time. It deserved much more recognition than it ever received. Such a shame. These two angelic voices brought the lyrics to life. Love them both, my parents raised me right so I grew up listening to the Eagles. And then nearly what? Approx 15-20yrs later Trisha comes out? Then this duet happened, and we fell in love with her (And Don!] even more. At least I did. And this will always be my 2nd favorite song of hers....but my #1 favorite will ALWAYS be-- "The Song Remembers When". The lyrics of that ballad, sang by her, again, angelic voice, just melts my heart. Think all of us have had a Walkaway Joe in our lives, and also a special moment in time where the song remembers the time in our life..... Can't imagine anyone but Trisha singing it either..... she makes those memories come to life and they reach out and touch your soul. Sorry Garth, but I'd take seeing your wife in concert any day over seeing you! Haha! 😉✌
"The cold hard truth revealed what it had known." Deep powerful lyric. Brilliant. It's describes the exact moment you feel the 'hook' you never knew was there. It knocks the breath out of you. Some never recover.
Absolutely- reminds me of both going through my own learning curve and paying my dues to the odds with inevitable heartaches. That very line was among the inspiration for me to learn to say no and let go. And indeed it was another lesson in life . On the flip side of “ fate’s got cards that it don’t want to show “ - after leaving my children’s mother in 16’ after 18 years of an abusive marriage- and my son and I a against the world .. I’d reconnected with old classmates- including my HS crush. Seems she’d been dealt a lot of these types much as I’d chosen poorly before too. We married in late 20 and couldn’t be happier .
@@dhlake This song involves abduction of a minor and statutory rape because the girl is only 17. I can think of far better stories to be telling than that. Speaking of statutory rape, I believe Matt Gaetz is still being investigated for just that...
LOL! Older country music.. I'm 68 years old and every morning my dad was up at 4:30 am, making his breakfast with an AM country station on the radio. This is NOT "old" country music. It's really good music, don't get me wrong. It's not old though.. :)
Wow, Matthew McConaughey and Don Henley. Two gorgeous and talented men from Texas in one video! And the incompatible Tricia Yearwood. Have loved this song for years, how have I not seen this video?
@@hadmatter9240 that kind of country is so monotone and boring. Most of them couldn't actually sing and their voices just drone on. Haha. The 80s and 90s is when music started becoming real where people showed off their vocal abilities and ranges and didn't all sound the same and so untalented. Today's "music is too much pop and rap mixed in where it isn't real country anymore. The 90s was perfect for music of all kinds. Unfortunately I don't think country music will ever be country again like that, but at least it won't be boring, monotone and dull like the era of Hank Williams Sr, Jr, Willie Nelson, etc. So dull and boring ughhh
My daughter is only six and her little heart was " broken" in first grade just about a month ago. And it was because she didnt get to be 1 of the 4 girls to go to this other little girl's bday party. My daughter still brings it up now, and because shes my only i feel everything for the first and only just the way she does! And 27 years after i saw another country legend in concert, i get to see Reba again in a few weeks in Raleigh, with my mom who i went with to that first reba concert as well.. My daughter loves reba, and trisha, but i dont let het listen to this particular type of song....I lived with her father in an abusive relationship and thank god i have my parents and they allowed me to move back home multiple times, including after they threw him out of their house a month after i had my daughter, they never threw me out. I chose to go with him knowing what he was already by that point, but i THOUGHT my daughter would be better with her parents together (mine are married 44 years this year). But after i moved 4 hours away and nothing got better and i left with my daughter just before covid hit (im a chef so i was out of work completely for 2 years). I now have full custody, but he can try and get that revised if i move out. I wish he would be a tru walk away joe. Because my daughter has to see him 2 times a month.
Exactly. It colors the judgment when you've gone through it and you raised your child not to do the things that you did and yet they do it anyway. Because they think they know better than you do. They don't but they have to learn.
Not always my mom never hurt from my hurt I had a guy that really loved me and I believe to this day 20 years later he was my soul mate but she intentionally drove him away for fear of being an empty nester and her last child leaving home. She told me my only reason for being born was to take care of her for life since she gave me life.
Matthew McConaughey looks and was sooo young in this video. I didn't realize it was even him until tonight..... Trisha still has one of the best voices I've ever heard.
I’d never known that he was until I was told because he’s so young! But back then when I used to watch this video I bet I still said to myself the guy in this video is very goodlooking lol not knowing how well known he would be one day
Mine was 1966 and I was pregnant when he walked away..beautiful daughter from it. He died last year and his wife and I are friends now. No, I don't think you ever get over your first love.
I messed up 2 relationships. The first love. Her parents found out my real age.we were 3 years apart. An my mom said maybe y'all should break up an get back together later when y'all get older. Well I did that. The girl didn't want me back the next week. It broke my heart afterwards cause she didn't want me back. Young love. 18 an 16. She was a dime. I doll baby. I fell into depression for a long time. Found a new girl. Lasted a year. I quit the relationship after a year due to thinking about my first love. I been paying the price going on 10 years now. So it ain't the same game out there. It hurts more on some days. God bless you an your husband. It's hard to start over again when it ain't easy like it use to be. I hope I find someone soon. My heart hurts every day.

This song was my introduction to Trisha (we only had CMT in the UK for a couple of years), and I fell in love with her voice instantly, and the girl can do no wrong. I have all her albums, but this remains my favourite track despite its' unfortunate subject. To my mind this was her defining moment.
"Don Henley" and "Tricia Yearwood" create a classic masterpiece! A country ballad that evokes every sense of sentimentality nostalgia and romance personified and heartfelt. Feel the Love!
I went through a period of absolutely loving country music. There was a time in the early 90s where the songwriting was pristine, pure and truthful ("new country") Love, Love, love this song!
I had the honor of being 20 feet away from Trisha when she first came out at a little crappy bar in Oxford, AL when nobody knew who she was. Still have my autographed cassette tape! I knew she was going to be big! Never knew she was going to be iconic, Garth Brook's wife big but I knew it is soon as I heard her voice!
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans. May God continue to bless you. Kindly send me a direct message 7069932413
What a great emotional true song and video. Sounds like a dobro in there. Listen to the piano treatment. Don's harmony is perfect for it. What amazing writing, singing, music and production. Trisha did wonderful! Such maturity-wisdom, beauty and richness in her vocals. Goosebumps... literally.... It's a timeless song. There's a lot of walk aways.
This song is perfect. I have never lived what happens in this song, not actually. But, I can completely imagine the hurt and sorrow of living this song because of the way Trisha and Don sing the life into this song. Perfect.
Love how Trisha and Don sing in such perfect harmony. The video is pretty awesome too. March 2020 and this song still gives me chills....well done, Trisha and Don 💕❤
I am 11, and I got to meet her last summer. She is Soooo nice!!! Seriously, she's the sweetest person, and I got her autograph and everything!!! (It's hanging on my wall)
+Brittany B There's people MUCH younger who have social media accounts, plus my parents aren't like super strict about me seeing bad stuff on social media. Trust me, I've seen plenty of bad stuff much much worse than what's on social media, also 11 year olds aren't as dumb as ya think. We know there's no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus and stuff. We also know that the world is a really terrible place with people doing drugs and stuff. But yes, I can see where you're coming from
+Aidan Maguire What the hell does that mean? And if it's about me having a social media account, then just don't even say a thing. My parents are doing the best they can, OK? They're really trying hard, and frankly, I think they're doing a very good job, thank ya very much 4 readin this, and now would ya PLEASE just drop it?
That's really cool that you got to meet Trisha Yearwood. Doubly cool that she's nice in person. This is probably my favorite song of hers. This or "How Do I Live Without You", it's kind of hard to call, I like them both evenly.
Such a young Mathew McConaughey! All the way back in 1992, an unknown Matthew McConaughey starred in Trisha Yearwood's 1992 “Walkaway Joe” (ft. Don Henley) video. The 23-year-old McConaughey was just starting out as an actor when he was cast for the video.
Oh the innocence of youth highlighted in this song!! So many girls/women get attracted to the "bad boy" and don't understand what this will mean. Love the vocals with the great singer Don Henley. The importance of the song is to learn not to repeat the same mistake by always hooking up with the "walkaway joes" we are attracted to in life.
One of my all time favorite songs. This song is so spot on and so sad and all to common at the same time. Where did music like this go anyway? I miss songs like this.
To think, this song is now 20 years old, and, yet it will forever evoke memories and emotions - surely the utimate recognition of a truely beautiful piece of music, by both writer and artistes.
I must have seen this video at least 30 times, but never realised that was Matthew Mcconaughey. I had to come back after learning from his book Greenlights that this music video was one of his first acting gigs!! ❤
I'd known him since I was a kid. Met him later in life again. We've been together ever since. 2 kids and 5 Grandbabies later. 34 yrs together ❤. He's retired now, what that man did. He wasn't no walkway Joe.
I never knew that was Matthew McConaughey! I just watched it and saw it after seeing him talk about it on the Kelly Clarkson show! That’s awesome! He’s so pretty! I love him!!!!!

I fell in love with my walkaway joe twice. I should have known better the second time around, but the heart knows no reasoning. And now I'm rebuilding myself again.
This song brings back memories! I remember listening to it as a young girl. Listening to it now as a grown woman it holds even more meaning. I think every girl has their "walkaway joe" at some point in life. I know I did. But it was "just another lesson in life" for sure. Happily married to a "stay-forever" Michael ;)
Oh, and never remembered it being Matthew McConaughey in the video! I bet he's been a walkaway joe plenty of times before. That smile. And like a fine wine he just gets better with age. LOL :)
Absolutely, Alden, you're so right! She really is a country music, story-telling, smooth voiced angel and country music needs her. Modern country is getting a bit too pop to be called country. And we need more retro country songs! Trisha is a country jewel!
Lyrics: Mama told her baby girl take it real slow Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go He's waiting in the car Mama said girl you won't get far Thus are the dreams of an average Jane Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane On a tank of dreams Oh if she could've only seen That fate's got cards that it don't want to show, and That boy's just a walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Now just a little while into Abilene He pulls into a station and he robs it clean She's waiting in the car, oh, underneath the Texaco star She only wanted love didn't bargain for this She can't help but love him for the way he his She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go, 'cause That boy's just a walkaway Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise She's gonna know it in a matter of time That boy's just a walkaway Joe Somewhere in a roadside motel room Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon And reaches for his arms But she'll just keep reaching on For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known That boy's just a walk away Joe Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go Destined to deceive her He's the wrong kind of paradise But it was just another lesson in life That boy was a walkaway Joe Mmm yeah, All he was was a walkaway Joe Oh, (Walkaway Joe) He was a walkaway Joe Mmm
My dad was a walk away joe got into a lot of relationship and left due to drug. My mom would sing me this song when I was little and tell me not to listen to those boys. Now I’m a single mom of beautiful twin girls and I’m only 16. I dont regret not listening to my mom I got my beautiful babies and they saved my life but it’s a whole lot of hurting and made life harder than it had to be
Oh bless your heart. I know it's hard (had twin boys young). Use that youthful energy to your advantage and treasure every moment you spend with them. Things happen for a reason. You'll be a stronger and wiser woman due to your hardships. That's what life is all about. If it was easy, we wouldn't have a reason to live, love, laugh, find joy and grace. ((Hugs))
So many layers of meaning. The music carries the song of the spirit, the voices carry the song of the heart and the lyrics carry the song of the story.
I have tears every time I hear this song. Reminds me of John when we rode in his truck up into the Rockies. He was in awe and I loved his reaction. Years and years ago...but the song remembers when
"Destined to deceive her, he's the wrong kinda paradise"...how those words hit deeply! Lyrics are just too beautiful!
It was a good thing she [the child in the song] got out just in time, before she turned 18, otherwise she mighta got caught up in all of his ridiculous thieving cratp... Love can't fix everything. Lucky 4 her she realized that.
OH YES❤❤
Sadly, so many of us had a Walkaway Joe in so many ways. Trisha's voice with Henley, is beautifully haunting.
Mine was a runaway Jane, it has been 35 years now and there is not a day I don't remember what she did to me.
@@Redbirds1100 29 years for me, I sadly have to say that it affected me even years later, two that might have been great relationships I purposely never allowed myself to let it get to that point for fear that it would happen again.
I totally agree. You expressed it so accurately.
I once had a walk away Joe way before I moved from home.
@@Redbirds1100 I'm so sorry about that.
Trisha and Don Henley are so good together. Don has done several duets and is always amazing.
For the most part, he lays back and simply accompanies her for the song. I hate Henley as a person, but David Geffen is right. Golden Throat is a great nickname for him. He's a fine singer, songwriter and musician. One of the best.
The line "She only wanted love, didn't bargain for this, she can't help but love him for the way he is" may be one of the most beautiful lines ever recorded. The way Trisha and Don's voices blend in the harmony is just perfection.
Sorry so long down the road
Beautiful lines hit me and stay with me too, it was lovely to see your comment about the line. And to understand how you felt about it!
He's the wrong kind of paradise
When I first heard it, I thought exactly the same thing. Just masterful how the voices become one. This is something that Don has spent a lifetime doing with the Eagles, and further examples of this are his duets with Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth - "No Mistakes" is beautiful in this regard to.
I agree 100%
I wonder how old Matthew McConaughey was when he made this video
This classic never gets old..and whew Matthew McConaughey looked like a dream even back then..alright alright alright..
Oh WOW never even saw this video. And Matthew is so fine..

@@megangoldstein7743 I'm glad you found your happy ending
VERY true. So very true.
I am grateful for my parents.
The thing I always liked about Don Henley was that he simply loved music
He sang back up for so many great female vocalists and he truly enjoyed it
Starting with the greatest; Linda Ronstadt.
You make it sound like he's dead.
Yeah he’s not dead Eric
yes I love sometimes love ain't enough. Pretty much if he is on a song you know it is going to be awesome!
A class act…
Don Henley's voice just adds a rich dimension to hers that's fabulous. Love both of their voices.
I've never been a big Henley solo fan, but in this song, their voices are superb together.
I'm a huge Henley fan. Everything he's done has been remarkable and he adds nicely to this song.
@@pbhoidale I never heard a song he recorded I didn't like. And when he's backing another artist, oh lawd!

To EVERYONE listening to this, take every word in, chances are your going to go through this.
Wow, Matthew McConaughey and Don Henley. Two gorgeous and talented men from Texas in one video!
And the incompatible Tricia Yearwood. Have loved this song for years, how have I not seen this video?
I thought that was Mathew too! Are we right?
It goes without saying how great Miss Yearwood is but we can't ignore the brilliance of Henley.
not to mention it is Matthew McConaughey as he bf
Nailed this pairing...whoever wrote this is one helluva songwriter......
Greg Barnhill from Slidell, Louisiana!
Someone was really heartbroken and telling a truth that the world needs to hear before they feel it.
15 years after singing lead on "Hotel California," and Don Henley still has that perfect "sandpaper" voice. Perfect Harmony.
classic country at its best 80s and 90s are the way to go

Hey how are you doing?
Matthew McConaughey looks and was sooo young in this video. I didn't realize it was even him until tonight..... Trisha still has one of the best voices I've ever heard.
He was 23 years old!
Hi Marilyn hope you're okay?
@@jt8251 he doesn’t even look that old. Maybe it’s just that the older I get the more everyone looks like kids to me. 😂😂
The legendary Don Henley on backup vocals, ladies and gentlemen!!
This song is 30 years old today and just as beautiful 🌺
That long ago already. I thought I was older then that... lol
It made a special appearance in Touched By An Angel.
This is what real country music sounds like. I miss it.
BTW anyone notices Mathew McConaughey in this video?
I know I came here to see him in the video! He was a cutie! I mean, still is, but he was a good looking young man.
not till now!!!
I know, right? When I first saw this video, i thought it looked like him, and then I googled it and found out it's him! 😆

My first love was 1996 and was Identical to this song!💔💔💔 took years to get over
Mine was 1966 and I was pregnant when he walked away..beautiful daughter from it. He died last year and his wife and I are friends now. No, I don't think you ever get over your first love.
So many of have gone through this, if only we could protect our sons and daughters.....wonderful song and I love Trisha
Hi Kathleen hope you're okay?
The pain of someone leaving you when they made you so happy can never be described. But this song comes damn close
God bless you such lovely couple 😁 i wish you all the best in the world
About the same as a loved one dying
I messed up 2 relationships. The first love. Her parents found out my real age.we were 3 years apart. An my mom said maybe y'all should break up an get back together later when y'all get older.
Well I did that. The girl didn't want me back the next week. It broke my heart afterwards cause she didn't want me back. Young love. 18 an 16. She was a dime. I doll baby. I fell into depression for a long time. Found a new girl. Lasted a year. I quit the relationship after a year due to thinking about my first love. I been paying the price going on 10 years now. So it ain't the same game out there. It hurts more on some days. God bless you an your husband. It's hard to start over again when it ain't easy like it use to be. I hope I find someone soon. My heart hurts every day.
Sometimes that's the problem though. You shouldn't let them become your world
I love the shot at the very end. There's nothing like a hug from your mother to make things all right again, no matter how old you are.
Amen. If only mamas live forever 😔

Why did you put quotation marks around their names? Lol
@@apriljefferson43 I was wondering the same thing. I was like wait what? 🤔🤔🤔
An underrated song ❤!!
Mathew McConaughey at only 23 years old looks so handsome in this video
Gorgeous ❤
I went through a period of absolutely loving country music. There was a time in the early 90s where the songwriting was pristine, pure and truthful ("new country") Love, Love, love this song!
Hi Rose
Yep 🤔
I that really is your name.... I love it... You speak the truth.... This is just stunning
This song just has a really special place in my heart ... 26 yrs ago my husband bought me this CD .
Hi Leslie hope you're okay?
June 2019 and still listening to this great song. Anyone else.

Once every weekend at the lake
This is Pure Country 💗
Hello Mary... how are you doing?
I had the honor of being 20 feet away from Trisha when she first came out at a little crappy bar in Oxford, AL when nobody knew who she was. Still have my autographed cassette tape! I knew she was going to be big! Never knew she was going to be iconic, Garth Brook's wife big but I knew it is soon as I heard her voice!
We’re showing our age when we mention cassettes lol. My kids look at me like I’m crazy heaven forbid mentioning an 8-track!
@@brianhicks8234 Hahaha definitely Brian!
the 'Walkaway Joe' notes that Don Henley hits at 3:47 nails me every time - how come I can't hit them notes - pretty song.
Always my favorite part too 😊
Don still smoked cigarettes, back then, too.
Beautiful song written by Greg Barnhill. I just had the joy of meeting him in Nashville last week. Such an humble guy.
Don's backing vocals give me chills.
I had no idea that Henley ever sang the second part to this song...what harmony!
Thanks for your love and support . It's a huge pleasure to know that I have got real fans.
May God continue to bless you. Kindly send me a direct message 7069932413
What a great emotional true song and video. Sounds like a dobro in there. Listen to the piano treatment. Don's harmony is perfect for it. What amazing writing, singing, music and production. Trisha did wonderful! Such maturity-wisdom, beauty and richness in her vocals.
Goosebumps... literally....
It's a timeless song. There's a lot of walk aways.
I love this song too... goosebumps as well!!
This song is perfect. I have never lived what happens in this song, not actually. But, I can completely imagine the hurt and sorrow of living this song because of the way Trisha and Don sing the life into this song. Perfect.
DAMN THESE OLD COUNTRY SONGS!!!! Pulling on my heart strings.
i think i actually feel my heart literally break a lil with the memories and this song and the pain certain love stains ones heart with
+suzy joe I was so lucky to see this live last night. This was the final song of the night, and Garth performed the duet with Trisha.
+Christian Costello I'm so jealous. They didn't perform it here! :(
suzy joe yeah I’ve felt this pain once
I know how you feel I been there.
That is deep.
I don't listen to much country music, but this song is simply masterful! An incredible blend of vocals, and lyrically, a masterpiece. Wow......
Love how Trisha and Don sing in such perfect harmony. The video is pretty awesome too. March 2020 and this song still gives me chills....well done, Trisha and Don 💕❤
Trisha and Don hit #2 in Billboard, 1-23-93. God bless!
Trisha and Don should have done so many more duets together!
I am 11, and I got to meet her last summer. She is Soooo nice!!! Seriously, she's the sweetest person, and I got her autograph and everything!!! (It's hanging on my wall)
+Brittany B There's people MUCH younger who have social media accounts, plus my parents aren't like super strict about me seeing bad stuff on social media. Trust me, I've seen plenty of bad stuff much much worse than what's on social media, also 11 year olds aren't as dumb as ya think. We know there's no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus and stuff. We also know that the world is a really terrible place with people doing drugs and stuff. But yes, I can see where you're coming from
S
+Aidan Maguire What the hell does that mean? And if it's about me having a social media account, then just don't even say a thing. My parents are doing the best they can, OK? They're really trying hard, and frankly, I think they're doing a very good job, thank ya very much 4 readin this, and now would ya PLEASE just drop it?
That's really cool that you got to meet Trisha Yearwood. Doubly cool that she's nice in person. This is probably my favorite song of hers. This or "How Do I Live Without You", it's kind of hard to call, I like them both evenly.
+Ryan O'Shay Yeah, and also she's in love with the boy, ya can't forget that one!!😁
DON HENLEY'S VOICE MADE THIS SONG: A DEFINITE HIT
I definitely agree. Don Henley is freaking hot.
Such a young Mathew McConaughey!
All the way back in 1992, an unknown Matthew McConaughey starred in Trisha Yearwood's 1992 “Walkaway Joe” (ft. Don Henley) video. The 23-year-old McConaughey was just starting out as an actor when he was cast for the video.
Hey how are you doing doing today?😊
~ Any song with Don Henelys Voice is a hit love his angelic Voice Frkn amazing
Hi Diane hope you're okay?
My grandpa always told me that boy is a wrong kind of paradise
Lord don't let my baby girl go through this. I know how this kinda hurt hurts... 😔
Thats a great line. Very song worthy. I could work off that line.
tslmiami I hear you I have 2girls and a son. GOD PLZ. DONT LET THEM EVER HAVE THIS HURT. Also
She will be fine... unless she fat and don't take care of herself
tslmiami so do I
tslmiami if that happens it would be a surprise though maybe it would be a better idea she does so she will have a life lesson to follow in the future
Tomorrow’s song of the day…been one of my favorite songs since the 90’s!!!
Song still gives me chills. I was this guy for half of my life before I met my angel.
Oh the innocence of youth highlighted in this song!! So many girls/women get attracted to the "bad boy" and don't understand what this will mean. Love the vocals with the great singer Don Henley. The importance of the song is to learn not to repeat the same mistake by always hooking up with the "walkaway joes" we are attracted to in life.
I'm sure there were just as many Walkaway Janes...I'm curious to hear about those experiences as well.
Hi Julie hope you're okay?
Now, this is real music 👍❤️❤️❤️
Yes real music sweetheart
One of my all time favorite songs. This song is so spot on and so sad and all to common at the same time. Where did music like this go anyway? I miss songs like this.
*I am shocked this gorgeous heartfelt ballad doesn't have millions of likes!*
I'm working on it
This isn't the only site where it has likes.
They harmonized so amazingly!
I grew up on this kind of country. I love this song, brings back great memories. ❤
Hello 🕊️🥰🕊️
To think, this song is now 20 years old, and, yet it will forever evoke memories and emotions - surely the utimate recognition of a truely beautiful piece of music, by both writer and artistes.
It's been 10 years, this song is 30 now and just as amazing.
I must have seen this video at least 30 times, but never realised that was Matthew Mcconaughey. I had to come back after learning from his book Greenlights that this music video was one of his first acting gigs!! ❤
Hello there Rachel nice meeting you here
I'd known him since I was a kid. Met him later in life again. We've been together ever since. 2 kids and 5 Grandbabies later. 34 yrs together ❤. He's retired now, what that man did. He wasn't no walkway Joe.
Hey 👋 how are you?
Matthew McConaughey just said on The Kelly Clarkson Show that this was his first time in front of the camera before he done Dazed and Confused 💛
Hello there Rach nice meeting you here
Me🙋♀️
I’m surprised Matthew could say anything on the Kelly “I’m gonna talk over you” Clarkson show.
I thought that was him!!
Love this video and that movie!!!!! No wonder I've always thought he was so fine!!! He's been in my subconscious since I was 13 😂
I never knew that was Matthew McConaughey! I just watched it and saw it after seeing him talk about it on the Kelly Clarkson show! That’s awesome! He’s so pretty! I love him!!!!!
"The best way to show how much your children is by loving their Mother" Mathew McCounaughy
what?
@@katherinemartindale2022 😁😁. That didn't make much sense!? 🙄
@@Melinda8162 no joke...i think they meant well but something got lost in translation.....lol
Anna Vajda I think you may have forgotten a couple of words there. Your comment makes no sense, lol.
Hello Thanks for your lovely comment and supports, your constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via.joewilliamssss501@gmail.com
I fell in love with my walkaway joe twice. I should have known better the second time around, but the heart knows no reasoning. And now I'm rebuilding myself again.
Hello 🌹🕊️🌹
This song was perfect in The Thing Called Love ✨
We all have a walk away joe somewhere in my life
+shyanne barnes So True! Very good point!
+TGWMPE yeah well people can never make their minds up
shyanne barnes i walked out.one relationship after 7 years she hit me but i stayed with her till i was like this song
shyanne barnes true
Or a Walk Away Jane 😂
This song brings back memories! I remember listening to it as a young girl. Listening to it now as a grown woman it holds even more meaning. I think every girl has their "walkaway joe" at some point in life. I know I did. But it was "just another lesson in life" for sure. Happily married to a "stay-forever" Michael ;)
Oh, and never remembered it being Matthew McConaughey in the video! I bet he's been a walkaway joe plenty of times before. That smile. And like a fine wine he just gets better with age. LOL :)
Not always
Carrie Carden I agree! I was 20 when this song came out! Happily married to a stay forever Michael as well! 😉😄👫💝
+Carrie Carden I am a happily married "stay forever Leon", great song.
Oh yes I had a walk away Joe at age 17. This song bring back memories. He walked away then now I see him every now and then. Sad. His name Hubert.
Alright, alright, alright! Saw this video a million times back in the day and just now notice that the walkaway Joe is Matthew McConaughey. How cool.
One of my most favorite duets....Don and Trisha ❤
Trisha Yearwood should earn a Lifetime Achievement Award for her music.
Absolutely, Alden, you're so right! She really is a country music, story-telling, smooth voiced angel and country music needs her. Modern country is getting a bit too pop to be called country. And we need more retro country songs! Trisha is a country jewel!
Love that song. Trisha has a beautiful voice. Thank you 💛
Hello Judith.. how are you doing?
Who else is here rewatching the video after Kellyoke today and hearing Matthew McConaughey talk about being in this video?!!
Lol. Figured I wasn’t the only one....he’s such a 👶
Haha. Yes! He was so young!!
I must confess I couldn't help myself! :)
That's why I'm here lol.
Use this as a like button if you thought you'd come to this video and be the first to type this comment here
Love this song!!!! The conflict between your heart and head!! You always think love will prevail
Don Henley's voice ,,,, absolute perfection....
Don Henley adds an amazing sophistication to this song..he’s the best!!
Don Henley adds the perfect counterpoint voice
I didn't know that was Matthew McConaughey in the video, he really turned out to be a awesome actor. Love his movies.
John Bruno me either lol
But got ugly
@@rochellehayez2352
Lol. 💓👍
You gotta love Don Henley.Both of them were amazing voices together.
The best! Trisha, Don, and Matthew all in one! ❤❤❤
So many people forget before she met Garth. She was a great country singer in our own rights.
Lyrics:
Mama told her baby girl take it real slow
Girl told her momma hey I really gotta go
He's waiting in the car
Mama said girl you won't get far
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could've only seen
That fate's got cards that it don't want to show, and
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Now just a little while into Abilene
He pulls into a station and he robs it clean
She's waiting in the car, oh, underneath the Texaco star
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way he his
She's only seventeen and there ain't no reasoning
So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go, 'cause
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkaway Joe
Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arms
But she'll just keep reaching on
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known
That boy's just a walk away Joe
Born to be a leaver tell you from the word go
Destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
But it was just another lesson in life
That boy was a walkaway Joe
Mmm yeah,
All he was was a walkaway Joe
Oh,
(Walkaway Joe)
He was a walkaway Joe
Mmm
Great song I never get tired of listening to this one
Walkaway Scumbag...
My dad was a walk away joe got into a lot of relationship and left due to drug. My mom would sing me this song when I was little and tell me not to listen to those boys. Now I’m a single mom of beautiful twin girls and I’m only 16. I dont regret not listening to my mom I got my beautiful babies and they saved my life but it’s a whole lot of hurting and made life harder than it had to be
I get that. Everyone is just now finding this song. This was a song from my childhood.
Oh bless your heart. I know it's hard (had twin boys young). Use that youthful energy to your advantage and treasure every moment you spend with them. Things happen for a reason. You'll be a stronger and wiser woman due to your hardships. That's what life is all about. If it was easy, we wouldn't have a reason to live, love, laugh, find joy and grace. ((Hugs))
Makes me think of The Thing Called Love and beautiful River as James Wright. Sweet film, brings back great memories
Me too ❤️ It’s an incredible film
Don's vocal.trancends. Trisha s amazing! And at the end of the song he uses full voice.not falsetto.unbelievable!!
So many layers of meaning. The music carries the song of the spirit, the voices carry the song of the heart and the lyrics carry the song of the story.
I will always stop when this song is on. ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful song. Trisha and don. It doesn't get much better.
This song is SO hauntingly beautiful! I am listening over and over
Hi Barbara hope you're okay?
I have tears every time I hear this song. Reminds me of John when we rode in his truck up into the Rockies. He was in awe and I loved his reaction. Years and years ago...but the song remembers when
Don Henley compliments Trisha’s voice beautifully!
I love this song. Great memories and great video.💙💚💖
