Jack And Diane
John Cougar Mellencamp

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

Suckin' on chili dog outside the tasty freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jacky say "Hey Diane, lets run off behind the shady trees.
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks.
Let me do what I please."
She say-a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, say-a
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 then now and Diane, we oughta run off to the city
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missin' nothin'"
Jacky say-a

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah let's 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
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 let's say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Two American kids doin' the best they can
