Lyrics: John Mellencamp. Jack ´n Diane.

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids growin' up in the heartland
Jackie's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of jackie's car

Suckin' on chilli dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane sittin' on jackie's lap
He's got his hands between her knees
Jackie say, "hey diane let's run off
Behind a shady tree
Dribble off those bobby brooks
Let me do what I please"
And jackie say a

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone they walk on

Jackie sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best james dean
Well you know diane we oughtta run of the city

Diane says, "baby you ain't miss no-thing"
Jackie say a


Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible belt come down
And save my soul
Hold on to 16 as lang as you can
Changes comin' round real soon
Make us women and men

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids doin' the best they can
