Since I'm not English or American I have some trouble in understanding some of the Stones lyrics. Could someone help me on the following? What does the verse "Yes I got the desert in my toenail and I hid the speed inside my shoe" mean? Thank you

Your a wanderer. Nomad on the road from show to show. A hobo with long hair and a beard, and you love drugs.
