A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jackie gonna be a football star
Diane's a debutante, back seat of Jackie's car
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee-Freez
Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap, he's got his hands between her knees
Jackie say, "Hey Diane, let's run off behind the shady trees
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please"
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 oughta 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
Holdin' 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
