Jack & Diane painted a picture of my life and my dreams

(Asus2add13)

suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me

(Asus2add13)

I heard it today and couldn't help but sing along

cause everytime I hear that song

(chorus)

 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

(verse 2)

(Asus2add13)

I use to rock all night long to keep on rockin my baby

(Asus2add13)

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

(chorus)

 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,

(chorus)

 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,

(ending)

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)
