SINGER: Kenny Chesney

SONG: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...
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
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
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
i heard it today and i couldn't help but sing along
cause every time 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
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
<fade out>
to the feel of a fifty yard line
a blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine...
To watchin summer fade to fall
growin up too fast and i do recall...
To the loss of a real good friend
and the sixteen summers i shared with him...
