Ficcional account of good ol' Jumping' Jacobs' on the run dating tactics.

lyrics

Well now Jumping Jacobs jumped the fence of the old town opry
Hiding down two bottles of shade way down his old pant leg
Well he reached up to the bandstand as the band began to play
And grabbed the first old lady he seen and he said let’s shake a leg

Well the two of them went dancing they went dancing left and right
Well the two of them went dancing now on late into the night
Till the lady she put all tight, cause she didn’t want to start a fight
And Jumping Jacobs jumped the ride and gave himself away

Coro
Well I’ll take you down to Mexico and show you all the things we need
To live our lives in harmony with out that shit called greed you know
I can hear them bottles crashing near and I can hear them crashing wide
And I don’t know how much time we got to get to the borderline
No once again.

Well in Las Vegas they said you could win if you only took a chance
And Jumping Jacobs walked her there a looking to a dance
And he took his lady wide he took her long you see him strong
But I fought myself and I fought them demons just like you need them gone

Coro

His sound is rooted in up-tempo Cumbia and Balkan beats, intermingled with folk, gospel, and alternative influences, and calls on a medley of improvised, digital, and DIY instruments to form the uniquely patchwork playstyle of his lively, high-energy live shows. ... more
