Jack & Diane

Little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

Jacky gon' be a football star

Diane's debutante, backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tastee Freez

Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap

Got his hands between her knees

Jacky say, "Hey Diane, let's run off behind the shady trees"

Dribble off those Bobbie Brook slacks, now do what I please"

Say yeah

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they say, yeah

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they 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 oughta run off to the city"

Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' nothing"

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 sixteen 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
