Kenny Chesney – I Go Back

“jack and diane” painted a picture of my life and my dreams,
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well i heard it today and i couldn’t help but sing along
Cause everytime i hear that song…

I go back to a two toned short bed chevy
Drivin my first love out to the levvy
Livin life with no sense of time
And i go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Everytime i hear that song, i go back

I used to rock all night to “keep on rockin me baby”
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin to impress the ladies
I heard it today and i couldn’t help but sing along
Cause everytime i hear that song….

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
The taste of salt on the carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends
And i go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and i do recall
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Everytime i hear that song, i go back, i go back

We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time

So i go back to a pew,preacher, and a choir
Singin bout god, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of sunday chicken after church
And i go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers i shared with him
Now “only the good die young” stops me in my tracks
Everytime i hear that song, i go back….
