Hard Candy
(Chris Knight)



Her hair was as black
As pike county coal
Her lips were as red
As blood on the snow
She wore short vinyl skirts
And them boots to her knees
And she lived in the holler
Arcorss the mountain from me

Chorus
Hard Candy you're so sweet and
I could never get enough
Hard Candy you're so easy
For me to love

Wild horses couldn't keep
Her old man out of jail
For bootlegging whiskey
His sons helped him sell
Growing up in that holler
Wasn't nothing but hard
Fightin' roosters and cur dogs
Tied up in the yard

Repeat Chorus

One night on the mountain
Back in the pine trees
Candy let down her guard
She said she loved me
We left the holler
When her old man
Got put back in jail
She told all her brothers
To go straight to hell

Repeat Chorus
