Jacky say a
Let the Bible belt come down
Dribble off those Bobby brooks, let me do what I please"
And save my soul
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, now rock on"
Gonna let it rock
Changes come around real soon
A little ditty about Jack and Diane
Say, "Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone"
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the tastee freeze
Diane says "Baby, you ain't missin' nothin'"
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Jacky's gonna be a football star
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hands between her knees
Oh yeah life goes on
Let it roll
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Jacky say, "Hey Diane lets run off behind a shady tree
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone"
Make us women and men
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
And say a
"Oh yeah life goes on
"Oh yeah life goes on
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean
Oh yeah say life goes on
Oh yeah say life goes on
Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city
