A little ditty bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids grown up in the heartland
Jack, he's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante, back seat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze
Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap, he got his hands between her knees
Jacky says "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree"
Dribble off Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on
Jack, he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
"Well there Diane, we gotta run off to the city"
Diane says, "Baby you ain't missin' nothing", but Jacky says
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, rock on
A little ditty bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin' the best they can
