Jack & Diane

A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jack, he's gonna be a football star
Diane's a debutante, backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's 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 ain't 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
