Lyrics:
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

Wonder how many ppl actually know who John mellencamp is.. Jake just earned more respect from me knowing some good ole tunes from an Indiana boy.

[@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831]

Brad Ehle BITCH I AM ONLY 24 AND KNOW WHO JOHN MELLENCAMP IS. MY HUSBAND IS ONLY 24 AND KNOWS WHO MELLENCAMP IS. MY THREE YEAR OLD FIVE YEAR OLD AND ONE YEAR OLD KIDS LOVE MELLENCAMP. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A YOUNGER AGE DOES NOT MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW OF STUFF OR PEOPLE FROM WAYYYYYYY BEFORE YOUR TIME. I KNOW AND LISTEN TO TONS OF STUFF BEFORE MY TIME

[@josesantiago1381]

countrygirl country musiclover Calm down stop yelling at everyone in the comments.

[@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831]

Jose Santiago honey if I NEEDED to calm down in the first place which I NEVER needed to do I would of had time to by now. Fuck off bitch. I NEVER commented to you so your ass has no business commenting to me

[@josesantiago1381]

countrygirl country musiclover Thanks for proving my point.

[@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831]

Jose Santiago bitch you never proved a point in the first place. You told me to calm down. I NEVER needed to calm down. You told.me.to stop yelling. I was NEVER yelling. So what.the hell are you talking about "thanks for proving my point"?????? What fucking point dumb shit

[@kelseycurtis2037]

Am I the only one that thinks this would be a great movie? Love this song aswell.

[@JakeOwen-forthefans]

Thanks 😊 so much for the love and support you have showed me for years now…Are you one of my great fans out there ?

[@tomlouderback6848]

Jake, I wanted to most sincerely thank you for what you have done with this song. I truly believe that this will be the song that the next generation listens to and says wow, that was me at 16 . You have written something that will transcend generations and connect them to the small town life that so many of us grow up in. Long live the south. V/R Tom

[@RyanPatrickOwens]

This song isn't anyone at 16. This song is someone at 40 thinking about their girlfriend from when they were 16.

[@MarkK01]

I love this song, I love the meaning behind it. I come from a small town of 600 people in Saskatchewan Canada. Going to school especially high school in the mid 1990's was horrible for me. My family was the out cast of the town because of my fathers abuse to my Mom and my older sister, 2 twin brothers and myself. I was picked on and always had to defend myself in fights that my school mates started. My father kicked me out of the house when I was 14. There was 1 girl I really liked but nothing would have ever happened because she was better then everyone else. I am not 54 and even though I have been married twice I still have not found that one true love. I do have 2 wonderful kids that I love with all my heart. At least that was a blessing.

This music video is so amazing. The amount of time spent putting this music video together is shown in it's wonderful story. This music video makes me love the song even more than I already did. Jake Owen, Thanks for writing great music. Your music has gotten me through so much. God gave you an amazing gift. Always stay true to who you are. I will always be a Jake Owen Fan.

EDIT: Been three years since I wrote this comment. Time keeps going faster and faster but current hs students: learn to chill and enjoy the good times with your friends. I didnt and it lead me to a difficult spot. College is much better but nothing beats being in hs with no responsibilities. I am truly amazed by this video, let alone the song. It tells an amazing story in under 10 minutes. This gave me chills and at the same time it brought tears to my eyes. I keep finding myself rewatching it multiple times a day. The underlying message either gives you a giant surge of nostalgia, or it makes current high school students realize how much nostalgia you will have later in life, so make the most of the 4 years. this reminds me of a pureflix movie

[@turtledude01]

Love this song for one reason and one reason only, because I own an old chevy cheyenne that was my grandpas.... Love that truck more than anything, and once I get her runnin again this is gonna be one of the first songs played on her radio

[@Jakeowen-musicforfans]

Thanks 😊 for the love and support you have showed me for years now …Are you one of my Favorite and Dear fans out there?

[@HandyRandy3200]

Fast forward to April 19, 2022... the young lady playing the part of Diane is MacKenzie Porter and her duet with Dustin Lynch " thinking about you " has been the #1 song on the country charts for 27 weeks and counting. And she's married to the guy playing Jack. He's my cousin. Two of the nicest, most down to earth people.

[@peteroneal6347]

That’s pretty awesome!

[@Ron_musicrazy]

you are on my list of likeable artists like so many love theis song man go on

[@alexzwilson4619]

This was way more emotional to watch than I was expecting

[@mofine3028]

John and I are the same age and both lived in Southern Indiana in our teens. The past indeed is another country and they speak another language there. But I would never go back for all its wonders. If one does not move on with time, time will take you anyway.

I was 6 when the original song came out! It was always one of my favorites. It's great how the original song is woven through this one. It really adds to the story, and this is a really cool mini movie.

Wow this was good.. thanks jake

[@christiangibbs8534]

Two American kids, doin' the best that they can. When I heard that this song had been written, I was worried that it would just be another terrible cover mashup mess. I am so glad to be wrong. This is a beautiful tribute, not only to an American classic but to America itself. Thanks, Jake. From a son of America, and a son of "Jack and Diane."

I Absolutely Love This Song even more now. The Video makes the This Song have Even more Meaning Than It Already Has. Thanks for Your Awesome Music Jake Owen. Your Music and Music of Other Great Artists have gotten me through Some Really Hard Times in My Life. God Bless You Always. God Gave You A Beautiful Talent. Always Be Proud of Who You Are And Where You come from. Always stop and think about Yourself Sometimes. Once You Walk off and not realize You should have done it before, You can't get it Back. Do It Right, The First Time. Don't Hesitate, Take Time, Take The Chance, Just Have Happiness And Joy Please. Always Be Humble And Kind. Thanks Again.
