Sawyer Brown - Cafe On The Corner (Official Video) 

This songs more relevant now then it has ever been

To many farmers went through this in the 1980s. I was raised on a small active dairy farm in Northern Illinois in the mid 1980s through the mid 1990s. Farmers had it rough. Now, 2018, Southwest Wisconsin has lost 40 local small dairy farms. Here this past February, my boss decided to sell his Holstein Cows because there was no money left in milking cows. Now, I go unemployed with a disabling physical condition, in which I'm on social security for, and a 4th grade education and no knowledge of how to work any where's else but how to work on a small active dairy farm. I miss those cows. Long story short, please thank the SMALL farmer and his hardworking farmhand for what they do now. Because they may not be there tomorrow.

A song with a story and quality....Don't y'all miss that!?

Cannot believe this song is nearly 30 years old! Nothing like music to take you right back in time.

This was real country music. None of that JA crap.

My family trying to earn a living farming.....no windfall for my dad. When my folks finally had worked through it all and had something my mom dies of cancer.......life is tough isn't it?

My poor Brother lost his home in the country and died in the dirty streets of Anadarko Oklahoma! Ill never forget that lost look and hurt on his face! 😢

You know it's a good video when it makes you smile and hurts your heart at the same time

They just don't make country like this anymore. It had heart and its a damn crying shame what they put out these days...

I saw Sawyer Brown win on Star Search, seems like ages ago. I guess it was. I also got see them in concert at Cheyenne Frontier Days where i lived for 20 years. They were one of the most entertaining groups i have ever seen. Mark was all over the place moving constantly on the stage. I miss those days and that type of Country music.

The line about the meek shall inherit the earth & the banks shall repossess it is timeless.

Love Sawyer Brown this is real country music that I miss

Growing up in a rural country farming setting I saw first hand of watching farms and farmers lose their places one by one cuz of big government farming.. we damn near lost our place a few times especially after the cattle price drop that started to hit us in late 89 and early 90... we had to switch from cattle to sheep.. it killed my grandpa immensely and you could see the lost look on his face of the uncertain future our livelihoods would almost take.. we managed and still thriving and adapted with the times.. I'm forever for my done home roots and farming way of life. I'm balky I can pass that to my son..

"All these soldiers without wars and hometown boys without homes" That one hurts. Great, real country song here.

WE WANT SAWYER BROWN BACK ON TV & THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!°!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always loved this song...I wore out the casette in my old Chevy pickup when I was a kid playing it over and over again. Country music has pretty much sucked since the 90s.

that's my Uncle Johnny Koval in that video. He is the guy that lost the farm and worked in the cafe. I sure do miss him now.

It might not be much but the job I have is a blessing from GOD.

Man! this song reminds me of my childhood. I was raised on a dairy farm.

I miss country music like this.

I love this song! I really miss the days of the videos. The songs were already great, but the videos made them better! I am so glad you guys are still together after all these years! God definitely knew what he was doing when he brought you all together! 😊

This is real country music

"And the Meek shall inherit the earth and the bank shall repossess it." WOW, that's powerful!

If Sawyer Brown thought 1992 was bad, try life now.

this is real country it tells a story

That transition from the Mercedes logo to the diner plate is such a great little item in the video. Well done.

I was singing this at work today. I had an off day as I spent my last month at my summer job at a sportings good store waiting to return to my main job at the college once school starts. Ironically, my job at the college is a cafe and it's where I do fit in, but nonetheless, I had an epiphany at the end. In the live version, it ends with, "At the cafe down on the corner, with a lost look at their face. There ain't no fields to plow, they still remember how... they're just a little out of place." And the realization is that everyone at the cafe was lost, but now they have since become friends and are no longer lost. And it made my day at work, as I realized we have a good community and we are all in this together.

Great song! I remember Cafe on the Corner. Thankful you all are still true to your calling. 🙏❤️🙏

Whoever directed this video did a good job too.

Farmers without fields/Dealers without deals/And they sit here drinking coffee all alone Just staggeringly good songwriting.

Crime don't pay but neither does farming these days.

I'm a late convert to these boys....but I'm making up for it!

I love Sawyer Brown. I sometimes find myself humming it& sometimes singing it knowing there's a Cafe on the corner outside my door. Back in the 70's & 80's & 90's was mostly the best areas of country music for me. Funny thing is in high school not many liked it or listened to it gives meaning to I was country when country wasn't cool. From a Barbara Mandell point of view so true.🙏🌹❤️

I don’t think I ever heard this one on the radio growing up. Glad I came across it today, it’s beautiful

When country songs told stories from the heart. The video from this song pulls at my heart. Such a classic. 💕🤚

On the farm theres always somthing to do.Theres nothing to do in a city !! 😢

Building fences, hauling hay, raising chickens.... shit! I did it all.

"And the meek shall inherit the earth, and the bank shall repossess it"

A great song about what happens in the corner stores and restaurants in this great country.

Unfortunately this is just as relevant today as it was yesterday, when I watch this, I don't see granny video of the early 90s I think of everyone affected by the 'Great rescission of the late 2000s; and when the next one hits this song will be extremely relevant again....

grew up on this music. I work in Watford City ND doing the Oilfield thing. 4th generation Great Falls Montana boy. Sawyer Brown came to Watford City a few weeks ago,...2015. To say they still have it is an understatement. They still are IT. Was a great night and damn therapeutic.

Good morning Sawyer Brown Band! This song still speaks for a lot of people, families, in 2019 without. God bless and here's to better and brighter days for one and all!

This and Alabama's "Song of the South" share similar themes. ("Song of the South" is more optimistic though.) Both great songs.

Mark Miller is one of the absolute nicest people i have ever met and he's very down to earth and very kind

Now this is country music!

If prices do not improve we are all going to live to see this happen again.

Saw these guys in concert last night in Oklahoma. Great memories. I've followed them since Star Search.

this song brings tears to my eyes I know the felling lose my house to the banks because I got sick and got behind on my payment and the bank took it back

This song and this video always tore my heart out 💔😩

I was raised a farm girl and even though my dad sold our farm in the beginning of the 80's, I wouldn't trade that life for a minute. Farmer's were getting raw deals then and it's even worse now. Our government has no idea or even cares how important our farmers are. Government doesn't give a shit about the hard working little guy. "NO FARMER'S, NO FOOD". GOD BLESS the farmers and the hard working men and women who bust their asses to make this a better world. ❤

This is what country music should sound like

ACC's #78 song of the '92 survey year. SB hit #5 in Billboard, 10-31-92. God bless you, brother Mark Miller! Thanx, friend, for postin' it. Have a blessed week!

Great song. Thanks for posting.

We dont get lonesome! We love our freedom and space! We love our lands and feilds! Thats in our souls!! 😢

This song is so sad.

Ill never forget that lost look on my Brothers face when we lost our Home at Stecker Oklahoma! He later died Homless in the Streets of Anadarko Oklahoma! 😢

June the 7th in Henderson Tennessee I'm ready for the concert

Get back in your game. People love you. Me too. Get on it now. Please sir Sawyer.

This is a good example of GREED..Banks won't help or work with you..This Country has turned to nothing but about Money nothing else .But in the end you see someone else down on there luck you help them out..

Our farmers supply everything we eat. With out them to grow, irrigate, fertilize, and harvest we all would starve to death.

It's sad that there's been multiple times throughout history this song has been a truth.

This has an eerie memory for me. The night Hurricane Andrew hit South Louisiana. Cafe on the corner was the last song that played on the radio before the power went out and the wind kept picking up. The power wasn't restored until 6 days later.

I know how this feels it hits home big time for me I farmed for years

I remember living with my dad, it was just him and us 5... we did indeed go hungry sometimes, because of welfare cuts. would try to fill up at school lunch lol. Cafe, out to eat? those words were foreign to us.

I like the part where he says "This job don't pay half what it's worth, but it's a thankful man that gets it". I work at a McDonald's making $7.70 an hour.

this job i got dont pay half what its worth but i'm thankful i got one. helpin takin care of my handicapp sister and helpin my dad out since he is retired and disabled

Makes me cry ...and remember

great country song

This song breaks my heart while I’m smiling

I think there is a live version where he sings “there ain’t no fields to plow, but they still remember how” always thought that was awesome

The meek shall inherit the Earth, And the bank shall repossess it.

I miss 90s CMT.

Great song .

just a little out of place 😢✝️🙏🏽 if God brings you to it, He can carry you through it!

Amen, having to down size on what we do, on the family farm, cause there ain't money in it these days. And having to work more in town. When farming is what I know and love.

🎶🇺🇸hometown boys without homes😢🎶

love this song

Takes me back to my childhood. Love

my dad was a foreman for a great farmer later he farmed I have only fifteen acres of real farm land because of their memory and pride

Thank you Solid Gold.

thanks for posting

It a shame what this world is turning into today just listen to this song for my first time and everything that the farmer went through he even invited a homeless man in and didn't even charge him for the meal this is what it means to have faith

Always great vids.

I miss real country music thank god for RU-vid.

This song is real life

Yeah man that's the good stuff

These lyrics run deep. "Crime doesn't pay - neither does farmin these days" "Meek shall inherit the earth - and the banks shall be possessive" "Soldiers without wars and hometown boys without a home"

This is a wonderful song

This song reminds me of my family's business when they lost it in the late 90's. No one understands til they live it.

Thank you-been looking for this video a long time-

At the cafe down on the corner With a lost look on his face There ain't no fields to plow No reason to know He's just a little out of place Well, they say crime don't pay But neither does farmin' these days And the coffee is cold And he's fifty years old And he's got to learn to live some other way At the cafe down on the corner With a lost look on his face There ain't no fields to plow He's bussin' tables now He's just a little out of place And the meek shall inherit the earth And the bank shall repossess it This job don't pay half what it's worth But it's a thankful man that gets it At the cafe down on the corner With a lost look on his face There ain't no fields to plow He's wishin' for one now He's just a little out of place All these soldiers without wars And hometown boys without a home Farmers without fields Dealers without deals And they sit here drinking coffee all alone At the cafe down on the corner With a lost look on their face There ain't no fields to plow They still remember how They're just a little out of place
