Jack & Diane

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jackie gonna be a football star
Diane's debutante backseat of Jackie's car

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap
Got his hand between her knees
Jackie says "hey, Diane
Come on behind the shady trees
Dribble off them Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please

Say ooh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah, say 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 then there, Diane
We oughta run off to the city"
Diane says, "baby
You ain't missin' nothin'"
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

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah
Walk on

Two American kids doin' the best they can
