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 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 I'm 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 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 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 I'm skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun |
|
Play by the rules |
|
You're gonna miss all the fun |
