[Verse 1]
   C
I always told myself I'd get to Nashville
      F
Where all the country gold is made
       C
Well I prayed to find a way, guess it wasn't in God's will
   F
My roots grew deep in the dirt of A 
G
I haven't seen my name in the neon lights
       F            N.C.
Of the honky tonks, but that's alright


[Chorus]
       C
'Cause this is the wild, wild west

Where the weather is better and the Eagles did it best
F
Carole was the King of the radio

Here they call it rodeo, not rodeo
            G
Where there ain't no rules and anything goes
       F                        G   C
We can all get together down in Calico


[Interlude]
C


[Verse 2]
         C
Well, I never planned to be on television
            F
But I got a golden ticket out to Hollywood
      C
Every week good people made the time to listen
               F
Felt like they believed in me more than I ever could
              G
Oh, I haven't sung my songs on that Bluebird mic
      F                N.C.
But I will someday and that's alright


[Chorus 2]
C
This is the wild, wild west

Where the weather is better and the Eagles did it best
F
Joni owned the Canyon and the radio

Here they call it rodeo, not rodeo
            G
Where there ain't no rules and anything goes
       F                        G   C
We can all get together down in Calico


[Bridge]
G  F  C
Ca-li-co,
G  F  C
Ca-li-co,
G  F  C
Ca-li-co,
G  F  G
Ca-li-co
G
You never really know how things are gonna go
      F                    N.C.
It'll be alright cause the sun's still shines'


[Chorus 2]
C
This is the wild, wild west

Where the weather is better and the Eagles did it best
F
Joni owned the Canyon and the radio

Here they call it rodeo, not rodeo
             G
Where there ain't no rules and anything goes
       F                        G   C
We can all get together down in Calico


[Chorus 3]
C
This is the wild, wild west

With the good vibrations and Stevie did it best
  F
A little bit of country and a lot of rock n' roll

The livin' is easy and the coast is cold
            G
Where there ain't no rules and anything goes
       F                        G   C
We can all get together down in Calico
