Play By The Rules lyrics
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock 'n' roll band, put a tattoo on his hand
My 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
And 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
Well, he was always drag racin' and he kept the sheriff chasin'
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
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 started 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
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock 'n' roll band, put a tattoo on his hand
