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

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

(Chorus)

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
