Intro - )= 4x's ) Jack & Diane painted a picture of my life and my dreams ) suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me ) I heard it today and couldn't help but sing along cause everytime I hear that song 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 field 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 use to rock all night long to keep on rockin my baby ) Frat parties, college bars just tryin to impress the ladies, I heard it today and 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 a Carolina shore, After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends, And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall, Growin up to fast and I do recall, Wishin time would stop right in its tracks, Everytime I hear that song, I go back, I go back, (bridge) We all, have a song that somehow stamped our lives, Takes us to another place and time, So I go back to the pew, Preacher and a chior, Singin about God, bimestone 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 a sharin 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 field 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 to fast and I do recall, I go back, (I go back) To the loss of a real good friend, And the sixteen summers a sharin with him, I go back, (I go back)
