John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane

A little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids growin' up in the heartland Jack, he's gonna be a football star Diane's a debutante, backseat of Jacky's car

Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hand between her knees Jacky say, "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please" Say, uh

Oh yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill of livin' is gone They say, oh yeah, life goes on Long after the thrill of livin' is gone Now walk on

Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment Scratches his head and does his best James Dean "Well then, there Diane, we ought to 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 Hold 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
