Lyrics
Jacky Don Tucker was my daddy's little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock 'n' roll band, got a tattoo on his hand
Granny said he never had a lick of sense
'Cause by the time he turned seven he was a stealing watermelons
Playing house with the girl next door
Drinking muscadine wine by the time he was nine
Sneaking out and smoking cigarettes under the porch
He was a melon stealing
Cop-a-feeling
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anyway in
Playing hooky at school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're running with me
'Cause I'm skinny dipping finger flipping son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're going to miss all the fun
He was always drag racing and he kept the sheriff chasing
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
'Cause he was nobody's 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 preacher's baby girl
They bought a new double wide and on their wedding night
Aunt Jenny went to rocking
Uncle Jacky Don's world
He was a melon stealing
Cop-a-feeling
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anyway in
Playing hooky at school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're running with me
'Cause I'm skinny dipping finger flipping son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're going to miss all the fun
He was a melon stealing
Cop-a-feeling
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anyway in
Playing hooky at school
A water tower poet class of '73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're running with me
'Cause I'm skinny dipping finger flipping son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're going to miss all the fun
Play by the rules
You're going to miss all the fun
