When I was Jack and you were Diane Does it make you laugh Every time you hear that song Do you close your eyes Do the memories take you back Six packs and a Chevy Cheyenne Do you turn it up Do you sing along

To me it's nothing This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye I'm taking all you down with me Explosives duct taped to my spine Nothing's gonna change my mind I won't listen to anyone's last words

Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on I close my eyes and picture you're hand in mine I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time Where I can find a reason to be strong It's pretty cold for late September And autumn wind

And I'm lost again Too far from you I'm lost again Some nights I don't sleep at all I lie awake with my eyes closed Some days I'm inside a cloud So tired I just float around I thought time would fade your face

And every time I close my eyes You're dancin' 'neath the full moonlight Your faded jeans across the hood My arms wrapped 'round you tight and good And I'm wiser than I was that day That's only when I close my eyes Now I'd have some words to say Ones that

Because you're mine, I walk the line. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time, I keep the ends out for the tie that binds, I find it very, very easy to be true, I find myself alone when each day's through, Yes,

But your memory won't let me She's all good, but you're the best I ever had Tell me how could she ever compete with that Ocean Boulevard still has my heart Close my eyes and there we are It still the only place that feels like home I know that I should

Ooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes Ooo 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives And this chaos, it defies imagination You've arrived at panic station You won't get much closer Till you sacrifice it all (all) You won't get to taste it With your face against the wall (wall

Where the wind blows babe I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere

Across the miles tonight And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight Just close your eyes and hold on tight And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might When I'm all alone on a distant path And my ticket home has been torn in half
