Lyrics
Intro
Middle of nowhere, hot as dick
Some dumb bastard raising hell
Joe Cliff's got a mouth like shit
Ain't a soul that likes his smell
Verse 1
Fartin' around on a busted fence
Yellin' at dogs and the mailman too
Snatched a beer from some poor sap
Spat his chaw in the goddamn stew
Pre-Chorus
Mean as a snake, dumb as a boot
Bet your ass he’s up to no good
Out here where the sun don’t quit
He’s the foulest in the whole damn hood
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
Verse 2
He's got a hat full of pigeon crap
Boots made from old possum skin
Yelling shit at every tumbleweed
Poking fun at all his kin
Pre-Chorus
Nobody wants to mess with him
Dumb as rocks, built like a shed
Out here in this piece of hell
He'll kick your ass, or eat cornbread
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
Verse 3
He hauled ass past the saloon sign
Flipping birds at every damn cow
Mutterin' crap about horse shit wine
Ain't nobody gonna stop him now
Pre-Chorus
He's a dumbass, no one denies
Scaring the piss outta every fool
Took a shit in the sheriff's hat
Broke every crazy town rule
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
Verse 4
Now Joe Cliff smashed up the feed store
Shouted hell at a row of goats
Got into it with a piss drunk boar
Got a boot stuck deep in his coat
Pre-Chorus
Ain't a soul in town could wrangle him
Cussed the preacher right off the porch
He's a bastard, thick as a brick
Swiggin' cheap whiskey with a torch
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
Verse 5
He pissed in the water trough, twice
Spooked the mayor's mule for fun
Yelled shit at the Friday night dice
Farted loud, then pulled out his gun
Pre-Chorus
Ain’t no damn decency left in Joe
Curse words running wild and free
He’ll moon the judge, kick a chicken
A rude bastard, proud as can be
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
Verse 6
Joe Cliff rode through the hog shit mud
Shouting damn at the lazy dogs
Threw a rock at the mayor's wife
Got chased off by angry hogs
Pre-Chorus
Every cuss in the book, he flung
Messed his pants, didn’t even care
Raised hell till the sun went down
Trouble stinkin’ up the night air
Chorus
Joe Cliff out in California
Middle of nowhere, dust and heat
The Butthole Wrangler's riding by
Cussing loud, stomping feet
Post-Chorus
Disco Bob, baby
Disco Bob, baby
