Desperado
Upchurch Lyrics

I am the leader you shouldn't follow
I am a strong and independent individual who sets my own path, and it may not be suitable for others to imitate.

Hard to keep up with a wild desperado
It is challenging for others to match the reckless and adventurous lifestyle of a free-spirited outlaw like me.

Takin' curves at eighty mile an hour plus
I navigate through life's obstacles and challenges with great speed and spontaneity.

Engine blocks scrapin' makin' asphalt dust
My powerful presence and actions leave a lasting impact on my surroundings, like the sound of an engine scraping the road and creating dust.

Metallic horse gallop in a hillside
My vehicle, symbolizing a modern-day horse, runs with strength and intensity on the hillsides.

Pipes echo from the trees
The loud and energetic rumble of my exhaust pipes reverberates through the surrounding trees, signifying my presence.

Shakin' as we all roll by
As I pass by, the world around me trembles and reacts to my daring and unconventional lifestyle.

Moss on my roof, but only on the south side
While I may have imperfections or signs of aging, they only appear on certain sides, indicating that my wild and unpredictable nature is still intact.

Marks on my boots from Scootin' through my outline
The marks on my boots represent the traces left behind as I swiftly and boldly move through life according to my own unique path.

Don't try to keep up with me
It is not recommended for others to attempt matching my pace or following my lifestyle.

I live on the edge, too thin to see
I reside in a risky and thrilling existence that is difficult for others to fully comprehend or perceive.

I was earthbound to be a backwoods seed
My origins and upbringing in a rural countryside destined me to grow into a raw and untamed individual.

On my back is where the word backwoods be
The term 'backwoods' symbolically represents my roots and background, which are imprinted on my being.

Because the backwoods never turned It's back on me
The backwoods, representing my rural heritage, have always supported and embraced me, never abandoning me.

Heart of a small town, roots of the home team
My essence embodies the values and spirit of a tight-knit small town, and I am deeply connected to my community.

Ridin' through the city like I don't sing
Despite my reputation as a musician, I move through the city with a sense of anonymity, not drawing attention to myself.

Ragged old Chevy and a stained white tee
I prefer a simple and rugged lifestyle, symbolized by my worn-out Chevrolet vehicle and stained t-shirt.

I'm a big brother, I'm a older cousin
I take on the role of a reliable and protective figure within my family, guiding and supporting those younger than me.

I'm a redneck from the south
I proudly embrace my redneck heritage and upbringing in the southern region of the country.

I'm a rapper, I sing country
As an artist, I defy genre boundaries and combine elements of rap and country in my music.

Always two forms of buzzin' when Takin' pictures in public
Whenever I am in the public eye, there are always two types of excitement or buzz surrounding me, reflecting my diverse appeal and talents.

I think Waylon would be proud and Biggie Smalls would think it's thumpin' motherfucka
I believe legendary artists like Waylon Jennings and The Notorious B.I.G. would appreciate and enjoy the captivating and powerful nature of my music.

Catch me cruisin' mid Ten roads Sleepin' on the windshield from radar Off on the five-o
You can find me casually driving along the middle Tennessee roads, fearless and unbothered by any police presence or radar technology.

Catch me downtown, wild on the rooftops
In the urban cityscape, I can be found freely exploring and expressing myself on the rooftops, showcasing my untamed spirit.

Winner circle shit sprayin' somethin' With a cork top
I am consistently achieving success and my lifestyle represents a victorious situation, leaving a lasting impression wherever I go.

I know where I'm goin' Without knowin' where I'm goin'
While I may not have a concrete destination in mind, I have a strong sense of purpose and direction, even in the face of uncertainty.

Alien mind glowin', regular say mind blowin'
My unique and innovative thoughts and ideas often astound and amaze those who encounter them, leaving a lasting impression like a glowing alien presence.

Wind in my hair 'cause the Wind and road keeps flowin'
As I embrace the freedom of the open road, I feel the wind in my hair, symbolizing the continuous and unrestricted flow of both nature and life itself.

I'm one of a couple Writin' musical components
I am among a select few who possess the talent and skill to craft and create musical elements, contributing to the overall landscape of music.

Hard to keep up with a wild desperado
Once again, it is challenging for others to keep up with an unpredictable and audacious individual like me, who lives life on my own terms.
