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 every time I hear that song

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

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

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"

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

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

'Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor

And 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

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
