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

Chorus
(n.c.)
Oh let it rock, let it roll. Let the bible belt come and save my soul.

make us women and men.
A little ditty about Jack and Diane, tow American kids doin` the best that they
can.
