lyrics

George and Jerry boy, working on cars
One's got the tools and one's got the parts
Transmission's not ready but the engine starts
Jerry boy’s shifting the gears with his hands.

Out under stars
Rapid City’s dark
George hits the country roads
Taking it easy
The gravel spits
Time to see how fast she’ll go, oh!

20, 30, 45, Jerry boy grinds the gears
50, 60, 89, police lights in their rear
Oh no, oh!
Oh, no, oh!

George and Jerry boy have to think fast!
Is the road runner ready for this kind of test?

George hits the gas and Jerry boy smiles
Everything is blurry for the next couple of miles

Jerry boy’s knockles just above the ground
The fuzz is gettin closer so George slams it down

80, 90, 108, everything is smoking but they get in the way
Slam in the driveway on skyline drive
George kills the engine and turns off the lights

George and Jerry boy, safe for now
They knock on the door of their classmate's house
Jerry boy calls his dad, the titular man and he says
Son, bring it to the shop
We’ll paint It red

George’s uncle came through
As unlcles often do
Cause it’s easier to love when it’s blood removed
Red road runner on the way to school
The fourth set of paint it’s had to live through
Lessons learned
Are lessons on the move
Trailer park stories
Trailer park stories
Trailer park stories take time to become the truth
