Hard Candy Lyrics - Chris Knight

Her hair was as black as pike county cold 

And 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 across the mountain from me 

Hard Candy so sweet 

And I could never get enough 

Hard Candy so easy 

For me to love 

Wild horses couldn't keep her old man outta jail 

From bootlegging whiskey his sons helped him sell 

And growing up in that holler wasn't nothing but hot 

Fightin' roosters and Kerr dogs tied up in the yard 

Hard Candy so sweet 

And I could never get enough 

Hard Candy so easy 

For me to love 

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 

And she told all her brothers to go straight to Hell 

Hard Candy so sweet 

And I could never get enough 

Hard Candy so easy 

For me to love
