Jack And Diane — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Little ditty, about Jack and Diane

2 American kids growin up in the heartland.

Jacky goin` be a football star

Diane`s debutante--backseat of Jacky`s car



Suckin` on chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze

Diane sittin` on Jacky`s lap, got his hands between her knees

Jacky say, Hey Diane, let`s run off hind` shady tree

Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please.



Say uh, oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin is gone

Say uh, oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin is gone. They walk on.



Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment

Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.

Well then there and Diane, gotta run off to the city

Diane says Baby, you ain`t missin` nothing

Jacky 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



Gonna let it rock, let it roll

Let the bible belt, come and save my soul

Hold on to 16 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



Little ditty, about Jack and Diane

Two American kids doin` best they can
