John Mellencamp - Jack And Diane Lyrics

Complimentary "Jack And Diane" Ringtone

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

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

Oh yeah, life goes on 
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, say ah
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 then there and Diane, we oughtta run off to the city
Diane says, Baby, you ain't missin' a thing 
And 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 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, they say life goes on 
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone 

A little ditty about Jack and Diane 
Two American kids doin' the best they can
