Kenny Chesney - I Go Back lyrics

rate me

"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 ton shortbed chevy

Drivin' my first love out to the levy

Livin' life with no sense of time

And I go back to the feel of a 50 yard line

A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine

Wishin' time would stop right in it's tracks

Everytime 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 everytime I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor

And the tatse of salt on a carolina shore

After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends

And I go back to watchin the summer fade to fall

Growing up too fast and I do recall

Wishin' time would stop right in it's tracks

Everytime I hear that song

I go back, I go back

We all have a song that some how stamped our lives

Takes us to another place and time

So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir

Singin' about 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

And everytime I hear that song

I go back, I go back

To the feel of a 50 yard line, a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine

I go back

To watchin summer fade to 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, I go back, I go back
