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.
Blue Jeans And A Rosary
Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life I've been uncertain
I been abandoned and left alone
At fifteen I had to leave home
The black sheep, the bad seed
At a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel to rescue me
She wore blue jeans and a rosary
Believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
Don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good
She's happy with a bad seed
Happy to be misunderstood
Two packs and a pint a day
To hide the shame
And wash away the pain
Aww the pain
Every road was a dead-end street
Runnin' from the law
And runnin' on empty
You couldn't shake the marks that were left on me
At a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel to rescue me
She rescued me
She wore blue jeans and a rosary
Believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
Don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good
She's happy with a bad seed
Happy to be misunderstood
She wore blue jeans and a rosary
Believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
Don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good
She's happy with a bad seed
Happy to be misunderstood
Misunderstood

The lyrics of Kid Rock's song Blue Jeans and a Rosary tell the story of a troubled life that has been characterized by uncertainty, pain, and abandonment. The singer tells how he had to leave his home at the age of fifteen and has been running from the law and dealing with the marks left on him since then. The song's chorus introduces an angelic character the singer meets at a roadside bar in Tennessee who rescues him from his troubled life. This angelic figure wears "blue jeans and a rosary" and, most importantly, believes in the singer.
However, the angel is misunderstood by her friends who think she is crazy for believing in the singer. Nevertheless, she is happy with the "bad seed" and tells him that "it's all good." The final line of the song, "Misunderstood," sums up the singer's feeling of being trapped in a life that nobody understands while being grateful for the angel who believes in him.
The lyrics of the song Blue Jeans and a Rosary are a reflection of Kid Rock's life story. He left his home at the age of fifteen, lived in his car, struggled with drugs and alcohol, and had brushes with the law before becoming a successful musician. The song encapsulates his journey of finding himself through his troubled life and how an angelic figure helped him.
