Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where we went swimming after Sunday school
Learned how to make break and bend the rules, yeah
Skipping class and 'slate rock and 'getting stoned
Not knowing any better's all we've ever known
[Chorus]
Calico Creek runs deep through the holler and the hills
Washes our sins clean as it feeds them ol' copper-made stills
Word has a way of getting around
And every year some kid'll drown in Calico Creek
[Verse 2]
A little town where the old dogs turn mean
Full of pesticides and cans of kerosene, yeah
Where a stray cat can feel right at home
Not knowing any better's all we've ever known
[Chorus]
Calico Creek runs deep through the holler and the hills
It washes our sins clean as it feeds them ol' copper-made stills
We're getting by on an empty tank
Find ourselves getting lost on the bank
Of Calico Creek
Calico Creek
Yeah
[Bridge]
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 3]
Where the rope swings are rotten
Had our toes touching bottom
It'll be dry by July
But if you walk down the sides, you can find some Rapalas
[Bridge]
Aye-oh-aye-oh, aye-oh-aye-oh
Aye-oh-aye-oh, aye-oh-aye-oh, yeah-yeah
Aye-oh-aye-oh, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Calico Creek runs deep through the holler and the hills
It washes our sins clean as it feeds them ol' copper made stills
Hey-hey
[Outro]
Calico Creek
Calico Creek, yeah
Calico Creek, yeah
Calico Creek
