I Go Back ~Kenny Chesney

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 every time I hear that song

An' I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
An' 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

Every time I hear that song
I go back, 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
Well, I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song

An' 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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/kenny-chesney-lyrics/i-go-back-lyrics.html ]
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks

Every time 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

Every time I hear that song
I go back, I go back

To the feel 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 too fast and I do recall
I go back
(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 go back





I don't know what it is about music that can change my day... making is better or worse. I had a ok day today. I worked this morning, go my car running (another story for another day) then I had to go to a
visitation for a friends Dad. That is heart breaking. My friend is about 5 years older then me, but only 1 year older then my oldest sister. I can begin to know what him and his family are going though. Honestly I don't want to. Then I played on Facebook for a bit before heading to town to get some parts for my car to keep it running. And made two pit stops to see Best Friend #1 and #2 (named in no order) The music that played in my head or on the radio was not hand chosen that it mostly is in my life. Between my MP3 player on my phone, the CD player in my car and sticking a buck here and there in the Jukebox I pretty much hand pick my inner song for the day. But today I listened to the straight up radio. (New and different) So my inner song changed lots of times today. Mostly country but every now and then I should put on the "Pop" Chanel and get a little "Give your Heart a Break" but today the radio spoke to me more then normal. I heard a lot of older songs that took me right back to high school or shortly after and had a nice long day of remembering how easy my life use to be... Maybe I need a day of tears. Please don't take that as my tears fell all day. Its nothing like that ... but my eyes have been watery (for lack of a better word) After my shopping and visiting I grabbed a bit to ear and headed to home. After my drive though dinner my mom rolled my hair so it would be curly for work tomorrow. Some people might thing I "Husband hunting" (what single girl in her isn't) But its more for me. I'm feeling off lately and just need a day to do something to make Katie Jean feel more like a pretty pretty princess for a day. Even if it does involve working. I guess thats all tonight. I do however thing that some of you might feel the same way about music that I do. I can almost take me be to the place when that song found it meaning for me.


Have faith
