Well her hair was as black as Pike County coal,
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 'cross the mountain from me.
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 bootleggin whiskey his sons helped him sale.
Well growin' up in the holler wasn't nothin' by hard.
fightin' roosters and curd(?)dogs tied up in the yard.
Hard Candy, you're so sweet
and I could never get enough.
Hard Candy, you're so easy
for me to love

Well 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, you're so sweet
and I could never get enough.
Hard Candy, you're so easy
for me to love
