Verse 1
Well, there’s a place where the pralines shine,
Where the taffy’s pulled, and the chocolate’s fine.
From Alabama to Tennessee,
Southern candy shops are callin’ me.

In Huntsville, Pizelle’s works their art,
With chocolate so pretty, you won’t want to start.
Then in Savannah, on River Street,
Pralines so sweet, they’re hard to beat.

Chorus
Oh, candy dreams of the South,
Where the sugar’s flowin’ straight to your mouth.
From fudge in the hills to caramel by the sea,
There’s a treat in every state for “you and me.”

Verse 2
In Arkansas, Greer’s makes it all by hand,
Peanut brittle so good, you’ll understand.
Down in Jacksonville, Pete’s candy reigns,
A mansion of sweets you can’t explain.

In Louisville, Muth’s takes you back in time,
With bourbon balls and marshmallows so divine.
And in the French Quarter, pralines hot,
Southern Candymakers sure hit the spot.

Chorus
Oh, candy dreams of the South,
Where the sugar’s flowin’ straight to your mouth.
From fudge in the hills to caramel by the sea,
There’s a treat in every state for “you and me.”

Bridge
Lexington’s old floors, where the candy lies,
And Mississippi’s chocolate chips in disguise.
Oklahoma’s Bedré, where chocolate’s elite,
And Pendleton’s treats make the day complete.

Verse 3
In Pigeon Forge, they’re pullin’ taffy strong,
With Smoky Mountain sweets that last so long.
Austin’s Big Top circus lights the way,
Where chocolate bacon steals the day.

In Williamsburg, Wythe’s is a classic gem,
With caramel apples made again and again.
And in Harpers Ferry, True Treats brings the past,
With candies so old, they’re built to last.

Chorus
Oh, candy dreams of the South,
Where the sugar’s flowin’ straight to your mouth.
From fudge in the hills to caramel by the sea,
There’s a treat in every state for “you and me.”

Outro
So grab a praline, a truffle, or two,
And take a trip through these Southern hues.
From candies of old to creations brand new,
The South’s got a sweet spot waitin’ for you.
