Jack Candy — текст песни (Walkabouts, The)

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
