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
