Yeah, 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
Yeah, by the time he turned seven, started stealin' watermelons
Playin' house with the girl next door
Yeah, drinkin' Muscadine wine by the time he was nine
He sneakin' out, smokin' cigarettes under the porch
He was a melon stealin', cop a feelin', daredevil fool
A do it anywayin', playin' hooky at school
A water tower poet, class of '73
He'd say, by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
I'm a skinny dippin', finger flippin' song of a gun
Play by the rules, you gonna miss all the fun
Yeah, be was always drag racin' and he kept the Sheriff chasin'
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
Yeah, he was nobody's fool, the definition of cool
He even cut a donut on the courthouse lawn
And 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 rockin' Uncle Jacky Don's world
See he is melon stealin', cop a feelin', daredevil fool
A do it anywayin', playin' hooky at school
A water tower poet, class of '73
He'd say, by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
I'm a skinny dippin', finger flippin' song of a gun
Play by the rules, you gonna miss all the fun
He was a melon stealin', cop a feelin', daredevil fool
A do it anywayin', playin' hooky at school
A water tower poet, class of '73
He'd say, by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
I'm a skinny dippin', finger flippin' song of a gun
Play by the rules, you gonna miss all the fun
Play by the rules, you gonna miss all the fun
That's all
