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 ...

And 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 go back

I used to rock all night 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 everytime I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
And the taste of salt on the Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin' summer fade into 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
I go back

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

To watchin' summer fade into fall
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
I go back

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