Jacky Don Tucker Lyrics

Jacky Don Tucker lyrics

(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)

 

 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

 

 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

 

 Play by the rules

 You're gonna miss all the fun
