Jack Candy Lyrics - Walkabouts

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
