Owen, Jake - I Was Jack (You Were Diane) Lyrics
It was yesterday, it was years ago
We were singing every word on the radio
Kinda like them songs could save our souls
Somehow, someway
Blue jean halo hanging off a limb
Two American kids just like them
Every time it'd play
It blew us away
Do you turn it up, do you sing along
Every time you hear that song
Like we did then, like we did when
Do you close your eyes, does it make you laugh
Do the memories take you back
Way back when I was Jack and you were Diane
Yeah, and the music played
Yeah we were never growing up or growing old
Breaking up or letting go
Girl just like rock 'n' roll, where's it gone
But I hope like hell every now and again
I blow across your mind like that summer wind
And you're holding on to sixteen long as you can
Every time that it comes on
Do you turn it up, do you sing along
Every time you hear that song
Like we did then, like we did when
Do you close your eyes, does it make you laugh
Do the memories take you back
To 6 packs and a Chevy Cheyenne
Way back when I was Jack and you were Diane
Oh yeah
Do you turn it up, do you sing along
Every time you hear that song
Does it still move ya, baby hallelujah
Do you close your eyes, does it make you laugh
Do the memories take you back
To 6 packs and a Chevy Cheyenne
Way back when I was Jack and you were Diane
Yeah way back
Way on back
When I was Jack and you were Diane
Yeah do you close your eyes
Does it make you laugh
When I was Jack and you were Diane
Yeah do the memories take you back
Take you back, take you back

I only watched to see the truck.....
I just want to point out that he was OVER THE LINE on that strike.. I call FOUL.. LOL.. GREAT SONG THOUGH!!! JCM throwback...
Jake Owen I love his music and his daughter is cute
I just bawled my eyes out. I love this. I love the tribute to John
A beautiful slice of Americana. Thank You Jake
October 2019?
This music video deserves a part 2
/bow 🏴😻💙🐾🐧
So cute! Love Jake own version have this song!
Jake, thank you for such a great song and video. Today music needed this song. This song took me back when I was 16 years old and in love.
Over a year and I still come back to this!
Im 50 and was 13 when this song hit. Love the aftermath vibe...
Happy Birthday Jake!!
His face looks fake as fuck
Ive never seen the whole video
To be Honest with you I think the play button is broken LOL
Honestly one of the better music videos I've seen by far
A masterpiece
Awesome video
What a wonderful music video it is absolutely beautiful 🌷
When I was jackin' it to you dyin'
was that jake etheridge in the beginning?
oh my it is haha! epic
As I soon as I saw the name of the song I said "Well, this is cute."
Great video
Why is the truck on but they’re on the bed of it
1:52 is where my dad works I was there when ‘‘tis was happening I saw him
They need to make this a full length movie
Even superstars have that one that got away...
You make an awesome music and in my school im the only student who knows you...
I haven't watched this video in a while and it is the best music video ever. Thriller, Take on Me, I was Jack you were Diane.
I’m 12 and I love this song so I think my parents raise me right
This is a good song dude.
Imagine writting song alone in a dim light basement and having everyone in a writting room steal you songs your lines your heart and tell you how many times you ?
Barstool sports
Your good looks got you were you are ... Great songwriters furthered you day to day golf carrear
You were not jack you were an asshole
That was a great video.
Have I told you lately that " I love you" :)
Awesome lyric/song!
I love love
I love this song and Jake Owen looks so different
i big fan 1 from jake own
i like singer by jake owen
Is that that girl from, “Travelers”?
Nice song but no where near as good as the original Jack and Diane song
This song just made the playlist
I love this song
Love the song and vid. But confused about timeline. Original song was early 89s (82?) But the radio dj at the beginning says it's a decade old. Does that mean this is a 2018 music vid set in 92 about events in 82?? Sorry. Maybe 8m being thick or something!
Is he sick at the end
I love Jake
That guitar riff still works 37 years later. Long live Mellencamp !
Wow, that was absolute trash. He took an iconic song and rubbed his truck nuts all over it. This is the kind of song that makes people hate modern country music.
This was a summer of 2018 song.
This song hits the heart as hard as talking about old memories does. Phenomenal song Jake I have loved your music since I was a young boy. Keep on keepin it country!!
The story and song are cool. But the time period piece is very off. Here's a list of MTV videos from 1982, for those who weren't alive to see what people really looked like back in 1982.

Hits hard how much I can relate..
Why is this not a show
Watched the entire thing for Mackenzie & Jake. Great actors! Love them as a couple in real life, too!!! This song hits a bit flat for me, though. On one side, I'm a huge fan of the original - so I really do like Jakes tipping of the hat to such a rock n roll classic. And the story and intention of it all is great! On the other side - I absolutely loath the "talk/rap" feel of the verses. Makes it feel so cheesy. I feel like there was a tremendous amount of effort placed on the video and story - but this song doesn't stand up on it's own, in my opinion. The chorus is fun - but the verses are just lacking. Sorry, Jake! Can't help but feel like there was something a bit better, had you have just dug a tad deeper on this one.
Love this song
Still waiting for episode 2
Video is sweet
Wow i love this song/video.

4:36.. what she said to him?
Jake, I really appreciate you bringing storytelling back to music in a big way, and to Music Videos in an even BIGGER way. Looking forward to the next one!
This is a very good video, and I don’t mind the length, because for once the conversations and the talking, does not interfere with hearing the song for once and it allows one you to appreciate the song and video.. it’s pretty good...
garbage
Hello!! I posted the Vlog I took when I saw JAKE OWEN SANG LIVE!! I recorded him singing this song + all his other hits !! 😘 Go check it out (: Don't forget to thumbs up hehe 💕
I Love This Song 👏🎵❤
Wow! Love the way he tied the original to this song!!! Memories :-)
For some reason I'm doing about this for ELA class.🤔
This is the best music video ever. I'd put it up against any video. Thanks J.O.
Love this!
You have allsome music
How could 786 people not like this - mental. I ❤️it 💋
Brilliant video. Took a little page out of Eric Church’s video Springsteen.
Thought so too
whats the song playing at 0:39?
Guys didn't dress like that in 82.
Debunked.
This song makes me want to buy a Chevy Cheyenne!
Fuck I hated this song when it came out. Grew on me, though. Haven't listened to John Cougar in a long time. Guess it's gonna introduce a whole new generation to a classic song, so it can't be all bad.
Country is so weird...
When I was jackin', you were dyin'
🤣🤣🤣
I want the 4K version of this video. Awesome video!
This dude has a horrible voice and ruined a good song
Great music video Jake and Crew - Encapsulates this classic song just like your extension does!!!
At one point, I almost misunderstood the chorus - I thought he said "when I was Jack and you were dying!"
I feel like this might be better done by Keith urban
George Brice doubt it
Music videos that can be made into movies: this, Florida Georgia Line`s May We All ft. Tim McGraw, and Luke Bryan`s I Don`t Want This Night To End
I will never see this song the same ever again... he was going to marry her... Jesus....
On the chorus, his voice sounds just like Darryl Worley's on his song "Have You Forgotten"
Dear Jake Owen and Nashville, stop writing the same song, over and over again.
-American
Sincerely,
Real Country Music fans.
('I Was Jack and you were Diane' is 'American Country Love Song' is 'Beachin' is 'Real Life'.)
sorry but you got lucky man! Your songs and singing sucks! You hit the country lotto being fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On one to ten you are a one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u just got lucky!
Hi jake Owen I was at your concert in the reds stamina it was amazing may Matt rip
Why tf would you ruin such an original song
Thumbs up if you pee on the side of the bowl to make less noise
The best music video i seen in at least 10 years
