lyrics

over the bridge at Calico
i was wondering where to go
i brought guitar and a rainbow
to start a new life in Calico

all the good people of Calico
pray to Jesus and Hank Snow
God is vengeful, but Jesus knows
all of the songs that Americans know

walking in the snow
singing Christmas Carols
talking on the phone
we got a new computer

in Summer it shines and in winter it snows
and the River Rhine flows through Calico
Christ is kind and children know
stay away from the border with Mexico

Jimmy got a car for Christmas
shooting the bad guys in a new game
there's a terrible story.... on the tv
there's a terrible story... on the tv

over the bridge at Calico
i was wondering where to go
i brought guitar and a rainbow
to start a new life in Calico
