Calico County

Have a case of cold pill
Soaking in a milk tub
Hydrochloric acid, i find …
Careful not to get any on you when you shave it up
Pass away with cook it up in calico county
Calico county
Born in a double white
Hide behind the counter
Momma never told me why daddy didn’t live with us
Only teacher i had is climbing on a ṗrison bus
… on his back seat,
Calico county
Calico county
Whoa
My little brother bubba
Stole a coca cola truck
Drove it to the cemetery, bubba doesn’t give a f*ck
Thirteen tombstones … on the bus
Ain’t that much money,
Calico county
Calico county
Outta here someday,
Ain’t that what i used to say?
… isn’t gonna have to stay
Friday night, don’t fight
Soaking on a miff top
Till i live or down or die
Calico county,
Calico county
Calico county
