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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day that 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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day that I lost Jack Candy
Some say they took him out to a clearin'
And made me 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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day they drove him from this town
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 that I lost Jack Candy
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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day that 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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day that I lost Jack Candy
Some say they took him out to a clearin'
And made me 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
This is a story that I've prayed to tell
About the day they drove him from this town
About the day they drove him from this town
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 that I lost Jack Candy
