Little ditty about Jack and Diane

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

Jacky's gonna be a football star

Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car



Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze

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

Let me do what I please.

And Jacky say



Oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Oh yeah say life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on



Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment

Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.

Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city

Diane says "Baby, you ain't missing' no-thing"

Jacky say a



Oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Oh yeah say life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, 



Gonna let it rock

Let it roll

And save my soul

Hold on to sixteen as long as you can

Make us women and men



Oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Oh yeah say life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
