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
