Little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids growin' up in the heartland Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap He's got his hand between her knees Jacky say "Hey Diane lets run off Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on
Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment Scratches his head and does his best James Dean. Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city Diane says "Baby, you ain't missing' no-thing"
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
Let the Bible belt come down Hold on to sixteen as long as you can Changes come around real soon
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,
Little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids doing the best they can
