Jack & Diane

Lyrics

Little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane
 Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
 Jacky gon' be a football star
 Diane's debutante back seat of Jacky's car
 Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze
 Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
 Got his hands between her knees
 Jacky say, "Hey, Diane lets run off
 Behind a shady tree
 Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
 Let me do what I please", say a
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, say a
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 They walk on
 Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
 Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
 Well, you know "Diane, we oughta run off to the city"
 Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' nothin'"
 And Jacky say a
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 Oh yeah, they say life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 Gonna let it rock, let it roll
 Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
 Hold on to 16 as long as you can
 Changes come around real soon
 Make us women and men
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 Oh yeah, they say life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane
 Two American kids doin' best they can
