Jack & Diane Lyrics - Josh Gallagher

Little ditty about Jack and Diane 

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland 

Jackie gonna be a football star 

Diane's debutante backseat of Jackie's car 

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze 

Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap 

Got his hand between her knees 

Jackie says "hey, Diane 

Come on behind the shady trees 

Dribble off them Bobby Brooks 

Let me do what I please 

Say ooh yeah, life goes on 

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone 

Oh yeah, say 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 then there, Diane 

We oughta run off to the city" 

Diane says, "baby 

You ain't missin' nothin'" 

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 

Oh yeah, life goes on 

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone 

Oh yeah 

Walk on 

Little ditty about Jack and Diane 

Two American kids doin' the best they can
