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 couldnt help but sing along
cuz everytime I hear that song
and I go back to a two tone short bed chevy
drivin my first love out to the levy
livin life with no sense of time
and I go back to the 50 yd line
a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine
wishin time would stop right in its tracks
everytime I hear that song
I go back
I go back
Well I used to rock all night long
to keep on rockin me baby
a frat party, college bars just to impress the ladies
well I heard it today and couldnt help but sing along
cuz everytime I hear that song
I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
the taste of salt on a caroline shore
after graduation to 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
it takes us to another place and time
So I go back to a pew, a preacher and a choir
singing bout God, brimestone and fire
and the smell of Sunday chicken after church
and I go back to the lost of a real good friend
and the sixteen summers I shared with him
now only the good die young stops me in my tracks
and everytime I hear that song
I go back
I go back
to the field of a 50yd line, a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine
I go back
I go back
to watchin Summer fade to Fall
growin up too soon and I do recall
I go back
I go back
to the lost of a real good friend
and the sixteen summers I shared with him
now only the good die young
I go back
I go back
wow. it just hit me how much im gonna misss that kid when he graduates..i like him still 7 yrs later..
