Jack & Diane

Little ditty about Jack
and Diane, two
American kids growing' up
in the heartland

Jackie gonna be a
football star,
Diane debutante back seat
of Jackie's car
Sucking on chilli dogs
outside the tasty
freeze, Diane's sitting on
Jackie's lap he's got his
hand between her knees

Jackie say,
Hey Diane let's run off
Behind a shady tree

Dribble off those Bobby
Brooks, let me do what
I please and Jackie say

Oh yeah life goes
on, long after the thrill
of livingÕ is gone

Oh yeah life goes on,
long after the thrill
of livingÕ 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 missing'
nothing Jackie say-a

Oh yeah life goes
on, long after the thrill
of livingÕ is gone

Oh yeah life goes
on, long after the thrill
of livingÕ 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 livingÕ is gone
Oh yeah life goes
on, long after the thrill
of livingÕ is gone

Little ditty about Jack
and Diane, two
American kids done
the best they can
