A little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids growin up in the heartland Jackie gonna be a football star Dianes a debutante, backseat of Jackies car Suckin on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze Dianes sittin on Jackies lap Hes got his hands between her knees Jackie say "Hey Diane, lets run off behind the shady trees. Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, let me do what I please." And say uh Oh yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they say uh Oh yeah life goes on Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on Jackie sits back collects his thoughts for the moment Scratches his head and does his best James Dean Well then there Diane, we oughtta run off to the city Diane says, "Baby, you aint 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 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 about Jack and Diane Two American kids doin the best they can
