  • It was yesterday
    It was years ago
    We were singing every word on the radio
    Kinda like those songs that saved 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

    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
    Six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne
    Way back
    When I was Jack and you were Diane

    Yeah and the music played
    Yeah, we remember growing up and growing old
    Breaking up or letting ago
    Girl it'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 sixteen as long as you can
    Every time that it comes on

    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
    Six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne
    Way back
    When I was Jack and you were Diane

    Oh yeah
    Do you turn it up, do you sing along
    Every time you hear that song
    Does it still groove you
    Baby, Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

    Do you close your eyes
    Does it make you laugh
    Do the memories take you back
    Six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne
    Way back
    When I was Jack and you were Diane

    Yeah, way back
    Way on back
    When I was Jack and you were Diane
    Yeah, do your 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 Writer/s: Craig Michael Wiseman, David Patrick Ray, Jody Scott Stevens, John Mellencamp, Tommy Cecil
