Jacky Don Tucker was my Daddy's little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock n roll band, put a tattoo on his hand
Granny said he never had a lick of sense
Cause by the time he turned seven started stealin watermelons
Playin house with the girl next door
Drinkin muscadine wine by the time he was nine
Sneakin out and smokin cigarettes under the porch
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
He was always drag racin and he kept the sheriff chasin'
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
'cause he was nobodys fool, the definition of cool
He even cut a donut on the courthouse lawn
He created quite a scandal that the locals couldn't handle
When he took up with the preachers baby girl
They bought a new double wide and on their wedding night
Aunt Jenny went to rockin'
Uncle Jacky Don's world
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin finger flippin son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun
