A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin up in the heartland
Jack, hes gonna be a football star
Dianes a debutante, backseat of Jackys car
Suckin on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez
Dianes sittin on Jackys lap, hes got his hand between her knees
Jacky say, Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please
Say, uh
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
They say, oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Now walk on
Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
Well then, there Diane, we ought to run off to the city
Diane says, Baby, you aint missin nothing
And Jackie say, uh
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
So 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 the best they can
