A little ditty bout Jack and Diane
GDCDG
Two American kids grown up in the heartland
GDCD
Jack, he's gonna be a football star
GDCDG
Diane debutante, back seat of Jacky's car
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
GDCD
Suckin' on chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze
GDCDG
Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap, he got his hands between her knees
GDCD
Jacky says "Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree"
GDCDG
Dribble off Bobby Brooks, let me do what I please, sayin'
[Chorus]
GDCD
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
GDCD
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
GDCD
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
GDCDG
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on..
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
GDCD
Jack, he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment
GDCDG
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
GDCD
"Well there Diane, we gotta run off to the city"
GDCDG
Diane says, "Baby you ain't missin' nothing", but Jacky says
[Chorus]
GDCD
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
GDCD
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, sayin'
GDCD
Ooh yeah, Life goes on
GDCDG
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone,

[Bridge]
N.C.
Oh, let it rock, let it roll.
N.C.
Let the Bible belt come and save my soul
N.C.
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
N.C.
Change is comin' 'round real soon, make us women and men
[Drum Solo]
[Instrumental]

Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, rock on
