1st Verse:
A little ditty bout Jack and Diane
Two American kids grown up in the heartland
Jack, he's gonna be a football star
Diane debutante, back seat of Jacky's car
2nd Verse:
Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze
Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap, he got his hands between her knees
Jacky says "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree"
Dribble off Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please, sayin'
Chorus:
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

3rd Verse:
Jack, he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
"Well there Diane, we gotta run off to the city"
Diane says, "Baby we ain't nothing", but Jacky says
Chorus:
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Drum Solo:
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, make us women and men
Chorus:
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
Ooh yeah, 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
