I Go Back Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 'Jack and Diane' painted a picture of my life and my dreams

2 Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me

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

4 'Cause every time I hear that song

5 I go back to a two-ton short bed Chevy

6 Drivin' my first love out to the levee

7 Livin' life with no sense of time

8 And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line

9 A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine

10 Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks

11 Every time I hear that song, I go back

12 I go back

13 Well, I used to rock all night long

14 To 'keep on rock'n me, baby'

15 At frat parties, college bars, just tryin' to impress the ladies

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

17 'Cause everytime I hear that song

18 I go back to the smell of an old gym floor

19 The taste of salt on a Carolina shore

20 After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends

21 And I go back to watchin' summer fade to fall

22 Growin' up too fast and I do recall

23 Wishing time would stop right in its tracks

24 Everytime I hear that song, I go back

25 I go back

26 We all have a song that's somehow stamped our lives

27 That takes us to another place and time

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

29 Singin' 'bout God and brimstone and fire

30 And the smell of Sunday chicken after church

31 And I go back to the loss of a real good friend

32 And the sixteen summers I shared with him

33 Now, 'Only The Good Die Young' stops me in my tracks

34 Everytime I hear that song, I go back

35 I go back

36 To the feel of a fifty yard line

37 A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine

38 I go back

39 (I go back)

40 To watching summer fade to fall

41 Growing up too fast and I do recall

42 I go back

43 (I go back)

44 To the loss of a real good friend

45 And the sixteen summers I shared with him

46 I go back

47 I go back
