Chesney, Kenny - I Go Back Lyrics






"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 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....
To the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
I go back....
To watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall...
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

    I am really sorry I had to stoop to your level Narcissist but you wont stop. It is my duty, by the power intrusted in me, to stop you from stealing and harming innocent people. You see, it is wrong and it will not be allowed. I will not back down and I told you that. You are responsible for your consequences. Now if you would like to continue with your defiance and harassment then I will continue with fucking smashing you. I fucking said stop mother fuckers. I also asked politely for you to leave and I told you what I was going to do if you didnt. So you made your own choices, it is your fault. Betrayal is not my nature and maybe you pieces of shit should try loyalty, honesty and respect.

  41. K.... P....

    All you young kid's out there cherish these moments cause Im 46 now and would give anything to go back!!! My best wishes to you all!!!

  42. S.... F....

    Just found this song a few days ago. It made me go back to all of the troubles and criminal "fun" I had as a young man. I didnt make things easy for myself even though I had fun. It changed the moment I met my wife. She gave me a son, a family and a reason to be a better man. Now I'm a grandfather, a business owner and a businessman with a good reputation. Everything I did lead to this moment.

  85. S.... R....

    Absolutely amazing production and layers of his voice. And sing along quality is star quality.

  86. A.... N....

    Love it :D

  87. P.... H....

    So many fond memories of growing up with certain songs. Kenny always comes up with wonderful lyrics in his songs. 💖💖💖

  88. A.... B....

    Wack ass song! Overatted singer, stereotypical country song nothing new to this song same ol my dog died my ol lady left me there's a tear in my beer etc reason I absolutely hate country music anyone can do it facts!

  89. C.... ....

    How do I go back

    C.... ....

    In your head and heart. Just dont live there and youll loose good things infront of you.

  90. S.... F....

    as someone just getting into country, as someone who doesn't know much of Kenny Chesney songs, reading these comments and seeing how amazing everyone thinks he is, it's exciting to think of just how much music I have to go through now.

  91. D.... P....

    Please God,one chance to be 17 again.I promise ill change every move ive made.Every like is for any one who wants one more chance.

  92. M.... j....
