Lyrics Jack and Diane - James Farrelli

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 a chili dog outside the Tasty Freez
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hand between her knees
"Hey Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree
Dribble off those bobby brooks let me do what I please"

Oh, yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh, yeah, 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 ought to run off to the city"
Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' nothing"

Oh, yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh, yeah, I 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
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Change come around real soon
Make us women and men

Oh, yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh, yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids doing the best they can
