Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin’ up in the heartland
Jack he's gonna be a football star
Diane’s debutante backseat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on chili dogs outside the Tastee Freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jacky say hey Diane let’s run off
Behind the shady trees
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please
He’s sayin’
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone
He say, oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone, they walk on
Jacky sits back collects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
Well’n then there Diane, we oughtta run off to the city
Diane says baby, you ain’t missin' a thing
Jacky say
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone
Oh yeah we say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone
Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
Holdin’ 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 we say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone

Two American kids doing the best they can
