I Go Back Lyrics
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
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
And I'll 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'll go back, I'll go back
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
And the taste of salt on the Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends
And I'll 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'll go back, I'll go back
Takes us to another place and time
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'll go back, I'll go back
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
I go back (I go back)
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
I go back (I go back)
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
I go back (I go back)
Oooooooooohooooooooo
How music can take you back in time - it is tied together with painful and happy memories and that's what makes it so powerful. This can both be the music of the time that memory was reality, or the lyrics of a song that are so like what you yourself went through...
This song makes me thing of my last year of high school and evertying else that goes with it. high school isnt your whole life, but its a big part that determines who you are, and should be embraced. this song also kinda makes me cry, thinking of all the crap me and the people i love have been through in high school.
This song reminds me of all the good times I have with friends and how no matter where we go in life...those memories will always be a part of us.
I LOVE THIS SONG OMG-BEST SONG EVER. My favourite line is deffinatly "I used to rock all night long to keep on rocking me baby" I love how he says it haha LOVE IT
this sogn reminds me of good ole times eating cjicken and cake w/ bubba....he was gr8 to me both in bed and person...but now since i killed him i'll sleep better
First time I got the CD I never really listened to this song that much for some reason. But lately I've just been loving it and realizing how well it fits me.
"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 "
"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.... "
"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"
reminds me so much of my high school life, sitting there at football games with my now fiancee wrapped in a blanket even though he was out of school, and although I know he is singing about church choir, that line kinda gets me a bit too, as choir was one of the main parts of my high school life. Although I certinally have funny memeories of sitting there at church with one of my best friends having writen conversations on bulitians, silently giggling over some guy or class or the pastors ear hair LOL. I still miss high school like crazy and cry almost every time I hear this song, especially with the music video, it really makes me think of the times I spent with friends back in HS (class of 2003 baby!). I also love how he incorporates how songs take you back, I've always been that way with songs, but music has always been my life.
Not only does this song namecheck a whole bunch of classic rock songs, it makes reference to -- holy crap -- being in college. This is a huge demographic shift in country music.
I'm still in highschool, so this song makes me not take things for granted and try to live life to fullest, but yet it still makes me think of my old friends before I moved, I love this song....
This song is wonderful. I never get tired of it. Like others have said, I think the song is talking about reliving old memories through music and how songs just take you back.
