Rawhide
Desperados Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep them doggies rolling rawhide
Rain and wind and weather, hellbent for leather,
Wishing my girl was by my side
All the things I am missin, good vittals love and kissing,
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move em on, head em up
Move em on, head em up
"Rawhide" is a classic country song originally recorded by Frankie Laine in 1959. It became the opening theme song for the popular western TV series with the same name, which ran from 1959 to 1966. The Desperados' version of "Rawhide" is a cover that stays true to the roots of the original song.
The song's lyrics describe a cowboy's journey through rough terrain with his herd of cattle, known as "doggies," as he faces extreme weather conditions on his way to the end of his ride. He longs for the presence of his girl, while reminiscing about the things he is missing like good food and love. The chorus urges the cowboys to keep moving the cattle forward - to "move em on, head em up," which is a common expression in the cattle-driving world.
The song's powerful lyrics express the difficult journey a cowboy must undertake and the importance of perseverance, strength, and dedication. The driving rhythm of the song mimics the pace of a cattle drive and adds to the raw energy of the lyrics.

I like this. The original Rawhide is still amazing, but I see this as a depiction of a modern/futuristic Wild West. I gotta say, this definitely has given me an interest in the band!
Metal Maestro
Almost all of Dezperadoz's songs have the same country bass line. Not that i mind... i love it!
