Jack and Diane John C. Mellencamp
/ (2x)
A little ditty about Jack and Diane, two American kids growing up in the
heartland; Jack, he's gonna be a football star, Diane debutante back seat of
Jacky's car.
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez, Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap. He's got his hands between
knees. Jack, he says, "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree; dribble off those Bobbi Brooks,
me do what I please." Sayin'...
Chorus
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Sayin'...
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone, now walk on...
Repeat intro

then, there, Diane, we gotta run off to the city." Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' a thing." But

Chorus
(n.c.)
Oh let it rock, let it roll. Let the bible belt come and save my soul.
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can; change is comin' 'round real soon,

A little ditty about Jack and Diane, tow American kids doin' the best that they
can.
