Dirty Jokes is the story of a young boy and girl who, when faced with a common but unfortunate problem, decide to run away to a better place. I'm sure this kinda thing happens all the time. I know it did at my high school. So, without further ado...

lyrics

Don't bother turning on the red light.
Pack your bags, we'll leave tonight.
I've got a fast 442, a little rust and ragged blue
but she's all gassed up and running right.

You always said that we would run away.
Tomorrow we could be in Santa Fe.

You could wear those bicycle shorts you know the ones with the red stripe
always reminds me of when we were ten.
And I'll wear my Dale Ernhardt Jr. shirt.
The one I wanna be buried in.

A little bit of sun on Mother's Day.
By morning we could be in Monterrey.

I got $37.10 in my pocket.
I got a car that flies low just like a rocket.
You've got a half a pack of smokes and a book of dirty jokes
and a picture of a signpost in a locket.

You say it points the way to better days...
