Desperate-Rado
Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My six shooter strapped and I'm lookin for a battle
Out on the plains I'm just a loner
My saddle horn rubs right and yo it's givin me a boner
I got thoughts of Annie Oakley
But that buck toothed tramp in that last town she broke me
And we didn't even fuck
3 days out on the frontier
And I'd kill for a cheap whore and a barrel of cold beer
I need a slut for a service
I take a peak at the shiip and they all run away nervous
Man I gotta get my rocks off
'cause my Wranglers don't fit right unless my cock's soft
Long nights by the fire me a Trigger.....go figure
[Chorus]
I'm a desperate rado
Didn't take any practice
A desperate rado
Got a cock like a cactus
Now I drift through the desert like a wild coyote
Horny as a toad trippin off peyote
Holdin uptrains and gettin goods by the sack
I'm known through out the west as the pie eyed mack
And to the law I'm no stranger
I'm wanted dead or alive 'cause I shot the Lone Ranger
And then Tonto tried to get down
So I boned his bitch slit he's throat and then I skipped town
That's the way I run my show
Paint towns red
Fuck hoes and then I lay low
I know you think I'm archaic
But my dick's like a sword
I see pussy and want to slay it
Out on the plains it gets linely
Sometimes I feel homely
New faces
New towns no one knows me
Guns cocked in my holster
You see my face in each town nailed to a pole on a poster
I'm always lookin for the quick buck
Then always blowin my cash on a bitch with a big butt
Some say my head's hollow
Fuck em... I'm just a
[Chorus 2]
Desperate rado
Trottin through the bad lands
A desperate rado
Tokin down with all the cowhands
A desperate rado
Didn't take much practice
A desperate rado
Got a cock like a cactus
Now I fuck whores by the scores up ten fold on any fellow
In any town I can be found at the local bordello
Never yellow never chicken listen for my spurs draggin,
And when I'm kickin dust you better circle up the wagons
So when I rip through your town don't be gawkin
Just tip your hat and Tex keep walkin
'Cause I'm a gun slingin top hand
Fuck with me and you'll go out like Custer at his last stand
I'm a low down buckaroo
If you leave me alone with your mother then I'll fuck her too
'Cause I'm a sidewinding nomad
And morals in upbringing is something that I never had
Known as the ruff ridin Texan
A bad buck from the day of my inception.
And I was raised in the poor house
My mother kicked me out so she could start a whore house
Now since the day I left the corral
I've been on a quest for the plant that's called mescal
'Cause pale rider once pulled me aside
And told me that high was the best way to ride...
[Chorus 3]
Now I'm a desperate rado
Always lookin for a fight
A desperate rado
Puffin on a peace pipe
I'm a desperate rado
On the run from the law
A desperate rado baddest one you ever saw

Back in the mother fuckin saddle
I am back and ready to take on life
My six shooter strapped and I'm lookin for a battle
I am fully armed and prepared for anything
Out on the plains I'm just a loner
I am a solitary figure in the wilderness
My saddle horn rubs right and yo it's givin me a boner
The friction from my saddle horn is giving me sexual pleasure
I got thoughts of Annie Oakley
I am imagining myself as a sharpshooter like Annie Oakley
But that buck toothed tramp in that last town she broke me
I was rejected by a woman in the last town I visited
And we didn't even fuck
We did not have sex
I gave my last gold tooth 'n gold nugget to get my dick sucked
I paid all the money I had left for a blowjob
3 days out on the frontier
I have been traveling for three days in the wilderness
And I'd kill for a cheap whore and a barrel of cold beer
I would do whatever it takes to get a prostitute and some beer
I need a slut for a service
I need a prostitute for sex
I take a peak at the shiip and they all run away nervous
When I look at women, they flee from me because I am intimidating
Man I gotta get my rocks off
I need to have sex to relieve my sexual tension
'cause my Wranglers don't fit right unless my cock's soft
My jeans only fit comfortably when I am flaccid
Long nights by the fire me a Trigger.....go figure
I spend long nights by the fire with my horse Trigger
I'm a desperate rado
I am a person in dire need of sex
Got a cock like a cactus
My penis is large and prickly like a cactus
Now I drift through the desert like a wild coyote
I wander aimlessly through the wilderness like a coyote
Horny as a toad trippin off peyote
I am very sexually aroused and under the influence of peyote
Holdin uptrains and gettin goods by the sack
I am a bandit who robs trains and steals valuable goods
I'm known through out the west as the pie eyed mack
I am notorious in the western United States as a drug-using criminal
And to the law I'm no stranger
I have had many run-ins with the law
I'm wanted dead or alive 'cause I shot the Lone Ranger
I am wanted by the law for killing the fictional character, the Lone Ranger
And then Tonto tried to get down
The sidekick Tonto tried to avenge the Lone Ranger's death
So I boned his bitch slit he's throat and then I skipped town
I had sex with Tonto's girlfriend, killed him, and fled the area
That's the way I run my show
That is how I conduct my business
Paint towns red
I cause havoc and destruction in the towns I visit
Fuck hoes and then I lay low
I have sex with women and then hide from the law
I know you think I'm archaic
You might see me as outdated or old-fashioned
But my dick's like a sword
My penis is long and hard like a sword
I see pussy and want to slay it
I view women as prey to be conquered
Out on the plains it gets linely
I feel lonely when I am out in the wilderness
Sometimes I feel homely
I sometimes feel unattractive
New faces
I encounter new people
New towns no one knows me
I am anonymous in new places
Guns cocked in my holster
I am ready for a fight at any moment
You see my face in each town nailed to a pole on a poster
My wanted poster is visible in every town I visit
I'm always lookin for the quick buck
I am constantly searching for an opportunity to make money
Then always blowin my cash on a bitch with a big butt
I spend my money on women who have large buttocks
Some say my head's hollow
Some people think I am stupid
Fuck em... I'm just a
I don't care; I am simply
Desperate rado
A desperate person who is always in need of sex
Trottin through the bad lands
I travel through dangerous wilderness areas
Tokin down with all the cowhands
I smoke marijuana with cowboys
Didn't take much practice
I was naturally good at having sex
Got a cock like a cactus
My penis is large and prickly like a cactus
Now I fuck whores by the scores up ten fold on any fellow
I have sex with many prostitutes, much more than any other person
In any town I can be found at the local bordello
I frequently visit the local brothels
Never yellow never chicken listen for my spurs draggin,
I am brave and fearless, and my spurs make a distinctive sound
And when I'm kickin dust you better circle up the wagons
When I approach, people should be prepared to defend themselves
'Cause I'm a gun slingin top hand
I am a skilled gunman
Fuck with me and you'll go out like Custer at his last stand
If someone opposes me, they will suffer the same fate as General Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn
I'm a low down buckaroo
I am a dishonest bandit
If you leave me alone with your mother then I'll fuck her too
I would have sex with someone's mother if given the opportunity
'Cause I'm a sidewinding nomad
I am a wandering and elusive person
And morals in upbringing is something that I never had
I was not raised with good moral values
Known as the ruff ridin Texan
I am a tough Texan who rides horses
A bad buck from the day of my inception.
I have been a bad person since I was born
And I was raised in the poor house
I grew up in poverty
My mother kicked me out so she could start a whore house
My mother chose to run a brothel instead of raising me
Now since the day I left the corral
Since the day I left home
I've been on a quest for the plant that's called mescal
I am searching for the hallucinogenic plant called mescal
'Cause pale rider once pulled me aside
A person who looked like death told me
And told me that high was the best way to ride...
That being high on drugs was the best way to live life
Now I'm a desperate rado
I am a desperate person in need of sex
Always lookin for a fight
I am always ready for a fight or confrontation
Puffin on a peace pipe
I am smoking a peace pipe
On the run from the law
I am a fugitive from the law
Baddest one you ever saw
I am the most dangerous and notorious person you will ever encounter

@stillrob420 good point.. you can't hold him to the past, nor can you do that to any artist.. I'd never buy his shit now.. but I bought everything back in the day and went to TONS of shows.. 93-97/98.. I used to get looked at weird for liking him. lol.
Matt Mohs
Podunk is just a mature version of this lol
kushasaures
@highon74 I think that album was his transition album, and i thikn that album and everyone after sucks. I wish he would go back to shit like this, old school, low-fi, and raw. Music is like life, we are all in a transition, and we change, our best years are in our youth typically.
highon74
@tracyfire he writes about what he knows? he was broke as fuck when this came out.. and he talks about having money on this record.. what's up with that?
