Lyrics

[00:28.38] A little ditty about Jack and Diane
[00:32.70] Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
[00:37.31] Jack, he's gonna be a football star
[00:42.06] Diane's a debutante, backseat of Jacky's car
[00:45.69] 
[00:55.83] Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez
[01:00.26] Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hand between her knees
[01:04.92] Jacky say, "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree
[01:09.55] Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please"
[01:13.55] Say, uh
[01:14.68] Oh yeah, life goes on
[01:18.97] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[01:22.36] They say, oh yeah, life goes on
[01:28.17] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[01:31.56] Now walk on
[01:33.34] 
[01:51.22] Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment
[01:55.81] Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
[02:00.55] "Well then, there Diane, we ought to run off to the city"
[02:05.04] Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' nothing"
[02:08.38] And Jackie say, uh
[02:09.96] Oh yeah, life goes on
[02:14.29] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[02:19.22] Oh yeah, they say, life goes on
[02:23.69] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[02:27.78] 
[02:35.03] So let it rock, let it roll
[02:39.78] Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
[02:44.35] Hold on to 16 as long as you can
[02:48.83] Changes come around real soon
[02:50.57] Make us women and men
[02:52.83] 
[03:12.37] Oh yeah, life goes on
[03:16.75] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[03:21.46] Oh yeah, they say life goes on
[03:25.96] Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
[03:30.65] A little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane
[03:35.16] Two American kids doin' the best they can
[03:39.52]
