Jack Candy

Jack Candy was as old as my father

But still I took a likin' to him

He said: "You will be somebody's treasure,

But no one has discovered you yet."



Jack Candy lived on Sky Valley Road

And that's where he did business I guess

Some say he sold a suitcase of cocaine

But he never showed me any of that



This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2

About the day they drove him from this town

About the day I lost: Jack Candy



I was walkin' up to Jack Candy's trailer

When he shouted that I('d) better head home

The curtains closed as he went back inside

And I trembled 'cause he wasn't alone



This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2

About the day they drove him from this town

About the day I lost: Jack Candy



Some say they took him out to a clearin'

And made him crawl until he confessed

Some say they hung him up by his bootstraps

Some say they let him swing in the wind



I walked along (the) Sky Valley Road

And out onto the great northern bridge

And for hours I stared into the cold

Sick and tired of denying I loved him



This is a story that I've prayed to tell X2

About the day they drove him from this town X2



I've lived a lie and I have lived it well

This is the story that I've prayed to tell

About a love and how I let him down

About the day I lost: Jack Candy
