I Go Back

Welcome to my 2nd contest! I have had the idea for this one for a long time now.
If you are a Kenny Chesney  fan...this one is right up your alley!

The theme for this contest is "EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT SONG, I GO BACK"

I want your poems about a song or songs that take you back "to a special place and time"

Please also, tell me the name of the song or songs.

Here are the lyrics to his song that inspired me to do this contest!

***SHARPEN THOSE PENS...AND FIRE UP YOUR MUSE***
And do Kenny proud! He was made Entertainer of the Year last week!

Rules:
No cutting, suicide, self harm, or dark pieces
No sticky caps, no street lingo
No erotica, no foul language
No foul language of ANY kind; immediate dq
Be nice and courteous to all entrants or you will be dq
HAVE FUN!!

"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

*YOU MUST INCLUDE THE TITLE OF THE SONG IN YOUR POEM*
