| [Verse 1]Little ditty about Jack and Diane
 Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
 Jack, he's gonna be a football star
 Diane's debutante backseat of Jacky's car
 
 [Verse 2]
 Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez
 Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hand between her knees
 Jacky say, "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree
 Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks, now do what I please"
 Say a....
 
 [Chorus]
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 I say, oh yeah say life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 Now walk on
 
 [Verse 3]
 Jacky sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment
 Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
 "Well then, there Diane, we ought to run off to the city"
 Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' nothing"
 But Jacky say a...
 [Chorus]
 Oh yeah, life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 Oh yeah I say life goes on
 Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
 
 [Bridge]
 Gonna let it rock, let it roll
 Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
 Holdin on to sixteen as long as you can
 Changes come around real soon
 Make us women and men
 
 [Chorus]
 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
 
 [Outro]
 A little ditty about Jack and Diane
 Two American kids doing the best they can
