Lyrics of 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 every time i hear that song

An' i go back to a two toned short bed chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
An' 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

Every time i hear that song
I go back, i go back

I used to rock all night long to, "keep on rockin' me baby"
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin' to impress the ladies
Well, i heard it today and i couldn't help but sing along
'cause every time i hear that song

An' 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

Every time 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

Every time i hear that song
I go back, i go back

To the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
I go back
(i go back)

To watchin' summer fade to fall
Growin' up too fast and i do recall
I go back
(i go back)

To the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers i shared with him
I go back
(i go back)

I go back, i go back
