John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane Lyrics
A little ditty about Jack and DianeTwo American kids growin' up in the heartlandJackie's gonna be a football starDiane's debutante in the backseat of Jackie's carSuckin' on a chili dog outside the tastee freezeDiane's sittin' on Jackie's lapHe's got his hand between her kneesJackie say, "Hey Diane lets run offbehind the shady trees.Dribble off those Bobby Brooks.Let me do what I please."Say ahOh yeah, life goes onLong after the thrill of livin' is gone, say ahOh yeah, life goes onLong after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk onJackie sits back reflects his thoughts for the momentScratches his head and does his best James DeanWell then there and Diane, we oughtta run off to the cityDiane says, Baby, you ain't missin' a thingAnd Jackie say a,"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."Gonna let it rockLet it rollLet the Bible Belt comeAnd save my soulHold on to 16 as long as you canChanges come around real soonMake us women and menOh yeah, life goes onLong after the thrill of livin' is goneOh yeah, they say life goes onLong after the thrill of livin' is goneA little ditty about Jack and DianeTwo American kids doin' the best they can
