Lyrics
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
