Music video
The music video for "Would You Go with Me" was shot in an abandoned farmhouse in Watertown, Tennessee using green and blue screens. Kristin Barlowe directed the video. 

The video follows a boy and a girl who wander into the farmhouse as children. It shows them at different stages in their lives together in different locations all within the house using CGI.

The video starts out as two children run into an empty house. Josh begins singing in the dark house while holding a lamp. The children find a jar of sand in the house and dump it out onto the floor, transforming the room into the beach. It then shows them in various outdoor locations at different ages. At the end of the video, the boy, now an old man, returns to the beach with a chest of his wife's ashes. The little girl, played by Peter Cetera's second daughter Senna, then returns and the old man transforms into the little boy again and the two run off together. Josh is shown throughout the house and outdoor settings singing. Musicians playing the mandolin, dobro, guitar and banjo are also featured in the video.

On September 28, 2006, the music video for "Would You Go with Me" took the top spot of CMT's Top 20 Countdown, where it remained for two weeks.
