John Mellencamp Jack & Diane Lyrics
Diane’s a debutante, backseat of Jackie′s car
Suckin’ on a chili dog outside the Tastee-Freez
Diane’s sittin′ on Jackie′s lap
He’s got his hands between her knees
Jackie say, hey Diane, let′s run off behind the shady trees
Dribble off those Bobbie Brooks, let me do what I please
And say uh
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone, they say uh
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin′ is gone, they walk on
Jackie sits back, collects 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′ nothing
And Jackie say uh
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
So 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, they say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin′ is gone
A little ditty ’bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids doin′ the best they can
