Jack Diane Lyrics

Artist: John Cougar Mellencamp

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

Obviously Jess doesnt know great music when she hears it....this is one of the best songs to sum up our culture and growing up as a kid....wow....musaic history proves her so very very wrong...but this isnt to cutt up jess...like she just tried with John....this is to correct her wrong.

The shittiest song ever.

This song rocks. Jessie and Soleil are likely retarded... so let's go easy on them.
