I Go Back Lyrics

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....
