heartland;  Jack, he's gonna be a football star, Diane debutante back seat of

      E   A

Jacky's car.

Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez, Diane sittin' on Jacky's lap.  He's got his hands between her knees.  Jack, he says, "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind a shady tree;  dribble off those Bobbi Brooks,  Let me do what I please."  Sayin'...

Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.  Sayin'...

Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone, now walk on...

Repeat intro

Jack, he sits back, collects his thoughts for a moment, scratches his head and does his best James Dean.  "Well, then, there, Diane, we gotta run off to the city."  Diane says, "Baby, you ain't missin' a thing."  But Jack, he says...

Chorus

(n.c.)

Oh let it rock, let it roll.  Let the bible belt come and save my soul.  

Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can;  change is comin' 'round real soon,

make us women and men.

A little ditty about Jack and Diane, tow American kids doin' the best that they

can.
