Jack & Diane

John Cougar



Little ditty about Jack and Diane

Two American kids growin' up in the heartland

Jackie gonna be a football star

Diane debutante backseat of Jackie's car



Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze

Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap

He's got his hand between her knees

Jackie say, "Hey Diane let's run off

Behind a shady tree

Dribble off those Bobby Brooks

Let me do what I please."

And Jackie say



Oh yeah life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin is gone

Oh yeay say life goes on

Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on



Jackie sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment

Scratches his head and does his best James Dean.

Well you know Diane, we oughta run off to the city

Diane says "Baby, you ain't missin' nuth-in"

Jackie say-a



Chorus



Gonna let it rock

Let it roll

Let the Bible Belt come and

Save my soul

Hold on to sixteen as long as you can

Changes come around real soon

Make us women and men



Little ditty about Jack and Diane

Two American kids done the best they can
