Lyrics of 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
