(Verse 1)
I left the house this mornin’, my truck was lookin’ fine,
But one quick trip down that caliche road, now she’s covered in a dusty grime.
I swear I saw my hubcaps shakin’, and my shocks just gave a sigh,
That road’s like a bull I can’t tame, no matter how hard I try.

(Chorus)
There’s caliche on my truck, and mud up to my knees,
That dust is stickin’ to me like a bad case of fleas.
The road’s got bumps that’ll rattle your soul,
And I’m slidin’ like a cow on ice, totally outta control.
Yeah, there’s caliche on my truck, and I ain’t gettin’ it clean,
Might as well embrace it, and join the dusty scene.

(Verse 2)
Tried to turn the wheel, but that caliche had other plans,
Ended up doin’ donuts, like I’m stuck in a country band.
My black truck’s now beige, a new color trend I see,
Might start a fashion line, call it “caliche chic,” yessiree.

(Chorus)
There’s caliche on my truck, and mud up to my knees,
That dust is stickin’ to me like a bad case of fleas.
The road’s got bumps that’ll rattle your soul,
And I’m slidin’ like a cow on ice, totally outta control.
Caliche on my ride, clean ain’t in the cards,
Might as well wear the dust like a cowboy’s scars.

(Bridge)
Now rain turns it to quicksand, but just give it a while,
It’ll harden up like concrete and crack a country mile.
You can try to wash it off, but it’s stuck on there for good,
Caliche’s got its grip on me, just like I knew it would.

(Chorus)
There’s caliche on my truck, and mud up to my knees,
That dust is stickin’ to me like a bad case of fleas.
The road’s got bumps that’ll rattle your soul,
And I’m slidin’ like a cow on ice, totally outta control.
Caliche’s locked in, my truck won’t ever shine,
So I’ll ride with the dust and call it just fine.

(Outro)
So if you’re drivin’ down that road, better hold on tight,
Caliche’s gonna grab you, and keep you through the night.
You’ll be cussin’ and kickin’, but there’s one thing you’ll see,
That caliche ain’t leavin’—it’s a part of life for you and me!
