Jack & Diane Lyrics - John Cougar

Little ditty about Jack and Diane 

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland 

Jackie gonna be a football star 

Diane debutante backseat of Jackie's car 

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze 

Diane's sittin' 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 livin' is gone 

Say a 

Oh yeah, life goes on 

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone 

They walk on 

Jackie sits back 

Reflects his thoughts for the 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 missin' nuth-in 

Jackie, say-a 

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 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 livin' is gone 

Oh yeah, I say, life goes on 

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone 

Little ditty about Jack and Diane 

Two American kids done the best they can
