Lyrics

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
