Jack & Diane

 

Little ditty about Jack and Diane

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

Jackie gonna be a football star

Diane debutante backseat of Jackie's car

 

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze

Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap

He's got his hand between her knees

Jackie say, hey, Diane

Let's run off behind a shady trees

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

 

Jackie 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' nuth-in

Jackie, say-a

 

Oh yeah, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Oh yeah, I 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, I say, life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

 

Little ditty about Jack and Diane

Two American kids done the best they can
