[Steve Earle - Calico County lyrics]

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

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

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

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
