As my senior year comes to a close, I routinely find myself drowning in spells of nostalgia and reminiscing on experiences of years past.

As Kenny Chesney’s I Go Back plays through your speakers the memories of times of the past can’t help but begin to run through your head and your taken back to “another place and time”.
