 (verse 1)
 (Asus2add13)
 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)
