＂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 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 long to ＂Keep

On Rockin Me Baby＂

Frat parties college bars

Just tryin to impress the ladies

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

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

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

(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
