Kid Rock released several studio albums from 1988 that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record 'Devil Without a Cause', released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba","Cowboy," and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock which was a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from his previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass". In 2001, he released the follow up, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales to more than 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which failed to chart a major hit. In 2006 he released Live Trucker , a live album. In 2007 Kid Rock released Rock N Roll Jesus, which produced a hit in "All Summer Long." It was his first worldwide smash hit, charting #1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. Rock N Roll Jesus would go on to sell 5 million albums worldwide including being certified triple platinum in the US.
He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States, which currently ranks him as the 99th best selling music artist of all time in the U.S.
Ain't Enough Whiskey
Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk about religion and playing the odds
Talk about freedom, talk about faith
They talking 'bout taking my guns away
Monkeys in suits writing laws and rules,
They just bicker and fight
But I ain't gotta listen to them goddamn fools
'Cause I know what's right
Ain't enough whiskey, women and wine
Ain't enough money, stitches and time
Moonshine honey, a little white line
Ain't enough change to change my mind
Rock on
They talk about the greedy, talk about the poor
They talking 'bout sending my daughter to war
Talk about spending, talk about pay,
They talk about defending the NSA
Monkeys in suits writing laws and rules,
There's no end in sight
But I ain't gotta listen to them goddamn fools
'Cause I know what's right
Ain't enough whiskey, women and wine
Ain't enough money, stitches and time
Moonshine honey, a little white line
Ain't enough change to change my mind
I might be crazy but I ain't no fool
I got them red-blooded white boy blues
Ain't enough whiskey, women and wine
Ain't enough money, stitches and time
Moonshine honey, a little white line
Ain't enough change to change my mind
Ain't enough whiskey, women and wine
Ain't enough money, stitches and time
Moonshine honey, a little white line
Ain't enough change to change my mind
In Kid Rock's song Ain't Enough Whiskey, he expresses his frustration with the political system and the discussions on different topics such as money, jobs, religion, freedom, and guns. The monkey in suits writing laws and rules emphasizes the idea that politicians often act like animals and are not doing their jobs properly. Kid Rock expresses his independence from these individuals, stating that he knows what's right and doesn't have to listen to them.
The chorus of the song "Ain’t enough whiskey, women, and wine; Ain’t enough money, stitches, and time; Moonshine honey, a little white line, Ain’t enough change to change my mind" highlights that no matter how many distractions or vices there are, they won't be enough to overshadow the issues he feels strongly about. Despite the world going crazy, Kid Rock knows where he stands on the different topics, and he won't change his mind.
Interestingly, the song draws an allusion to the Red-Blooded White Boy Blues and the famous blues musicians that came before him. Kid Rock's bluesy rock style has been a mainstay on US airwaves for over two decades. He incorporated several themes into his music, including punk rock, hip-hop, country, and Southern rock. Moreover, he's gained a reputation for his work as an outspoken political supporter, often associating with conservative leaders and voicing his objections against current liberal ideologies.
