Jack & Diane

(album: American Fool - 1982)

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growing up in the heartland
Jackie gonna be a football star
Diane's debutante backseat of Jackie's car

Sucking on a chili dog
Outside the Tastee Freez
Diane's sitting on Jackie's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jackie say, hey, Diane
Let's run off behind a shady trees
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please
Say a

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone
Say a
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone
They walk on

Jackie sits back
Collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head
And does his best James Dean
Well you know, Diane
We oughta run off to the city
Diane says, baby
You ain't missing nuth-in
Jackie, say-a

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come
And save my soul
Holding on to sixteen 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 living is gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone

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