Candy TV
When I was young
Everything was Candy and TV
Church, school and family
Music was everywhere
So was smoke
It got inside of you
Drinking 7up & Mountain Dew
Bowling alleys and pool halls
Ice skating rinks and basketball
Magazines, airplanes, Holiday Inns
My dad could walk to his law firm
Grandma could walk to her paisano
Mom planting bulbs for spring, summer, fall
Lassie, the Little Rascals, The Lone Ranger
The goodness within people on full display
Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons,
Leave It to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Grizzly Adams
It all made you want to be a better person
