I was Jack [You were Diane] lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

We was falling fast

We was jumping in

Blue jean halo hanging off the limb

Two American kids just like them

Every time they played

And it blew us away

[Chorus]

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 six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne?

Way back

When I was Jack and you were Diane

Yeah, and the music played

[Verse 2]

Yeah, we were never growing up and growing old

Breaking up or letting go

Girl's just like Rock-n-Roll

Where has 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 16 as long as you can

Every time that it comes on

[Chorus]

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 six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne?

Way back

When I was Jack and you were Diane

[Bridge]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Do you turn it up?

Do you sing along

Every time you hear that song?

Does it still move you?

Baby, Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Do you close your eyes?

Does it make you laugh?

Do the memories take you back

To six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne?

Way back

When I was Jack and you were Diane

[Outro]

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, let the memories take you back

Take you back

Take you back
