Steve Earle
Calico County
[Verse]
Half a case of cold pills soaking in a milk jug
Hydrochloric acid, iodine, and phosphorus
Careful not to get any on you when you shake it up
That's the way we cook it up in Calico County, Calico County

[Verse]
Born in a double wide out behind the county dump
Mama never told me why Daddy didn't live with us
Only picture I had he's climbing on a prison bus
Stencil on his back said Calico County, Calico County

[Verse]
My little brother Bobby stole a Coca-Cola truck
Drove it through the cemetery, Bobby doesn't give a fuck
Thirteen tombstones, fifty-seven hundred bucks
Ain't that much money in Calico County, Calico County

[Verse]
Out of here someday, ain't that what I used to say?
Army wouldn't take me so I guess I'm gonna have to stay
Friday night dogfight, sucking on a meth pipe
Until I lay me down to die in Calico County
Calico County, Calico County
