Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Candy lyrics
I sure like that candy
I don't go for them turnip greens
I sure like that candy
I don't go for them turnip greens
So when you put it on the table
Oh mama, think about me

Well, I don't drink Coca-Cola
But I sure like the ol' moonshine
Well I don't drink Coca-Cola
But I sure like the ol' moonshine
Yeah, we drink it from a fruit jar
With my little baby by my side

Well, I don't much like walkin'
But I love my Eldorado ride
I ain't never cared a thing about walkin'
But I love my Eldorado ride
Yeah, we run it round the cornfield
With my little baby by my side

I sure like that candy
I don't go for them turnip greens
I sure like that candy
I don't go for them turnip greens
So when you put it on the table
Oh mama, think about me
I sure like that cand
