A little ditty about Jack and Diane, two American kids growing up in the
heartland; Jack, he's gonna be a football star, Diane debutante back seat of
Jacky's car.
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez, Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap. He's got his hands between
knees. Jack, he says, "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree; dribble off those Bobbi Brooks,
me do what I please." Sayin'...
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Sayin'...
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone, now walk on...
Repeat intro
Jack, he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment, scratches his head and does his best James Dean.
then, there, Diane, we gotta run off to the city." Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' a thing." But
he says...
Oh let it rock, let it roll. Let the bible belt come and save my soul.
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can; change is comin' 'round real soon,
make us women and men.
A little ditty about Jack and Diane, tow American kids doin' the best that they
can.
