Steve Earle & The Dukes - Calico County Lyrics

Have 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 they cook it up in
Calico County
Calico County

Born in a double wide
out behind the county
No momma 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

Whoa

My little brother bobby stole a Coca Cola truck
Drove it to the cemetary
Bobby doesn't give a f*ck
Thirteen tombstone fits a steel on the bus
Ain't that much money in Calico County
Calico County

Outta here someday,
Ain't that what I use to say
Army wouldn't take me
so I guess I'm gonna have to stay
Friday night, dog fight
sucking on a meth pipe
till I have to lay it down to die in
Calico County
Calico County
Calico County
