Rooted in the Orange County community of Huntington Beach, the Dirty Heads emerged onto the Southern California music scene with their unique signature blend of acoustic infused hip-hop and classic reggae, creating the perfect soundtrack to an upbeat, sun-soaked California.
Founding band members Jared Watson and guitarist/vocalist Dustin Bushnell met in 1996 while in high school, embarking on a friendship based on music, as well as their shared passion for surfing, skating and the endless party of the laid-back SoCal lifestyle.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro]
GA Ho-woah-oo-oh-ho-ho-oo-woah- no AG Hoo-oo-woo-oo-oo GA Ho-oh-oo-woah-oh-oh-oo-woah-no- oo AG Hoo-woo-
[Verse 1: Duddy B]
Em Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark B On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks Em Six guns by the side and bullets ‘round their waist B Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase Em The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free B But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene Em And he screamed at the top of his lungs “they’re on the run! B It’s the two wildsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!”
[Chorus: Rome]
GC I said I wish that we could stay here CG But I fear our time has come GC Oh we can ride out in the darkness CG Chasing the rising sun GC We gotta pack our bags this instant CG We’re heading southbound to the next town GC And if we arrive there so safely GC Baby you can lay me down GC Lay me down GC Lay me down GC Lay me down
[Verse 2: Dirty J]
Em Well it’s the story of the two always on the move B They got nothing left to lose ‘cept their guns and they wounds Em Now they’re crossing borders sheriff’s posse on their tail B They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell Em They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night B Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight Em So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price B They wouldn’t stop running ‘til they found a paradise Em But the Sheriff finally found ‘em with his eyes seeing red B So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead Em They were finally free to find a place to lay their head B And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
[Chorus 2: Rome]
GC I said I think that we can stay here CG ‘Cus I feel our time has come GC And we can walk down to the ocean CG And sit with the rising sun GC So unpack your bags this instant CG No more running from town to town GC And now that we’ve arrived so safely GC Baby you can lay me down GC Lay me down GC Lay me down GC Lay me down
[Verse 3: Dirty J]
GGGC Well you’re my green eyed girl and I’ve been running round with you GGGC It’s the afternoon and we got nothing left to do GGGC So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off GGGC And we should go hit the cantina we got work off GGGC I said it’s hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes GGGC We’ve been running for a while why’oncha lay down make me smile GGGC I could never ask for nothing better than this G It’s just tequila and the beach that’s why it’s salty when we kiss
[Chorus 2: Rome]
GC I said I think that we can stay here CG ‘Cus I feel our time has come GC And we can walk down to the ocean CG And sit with the rising sun GC So unpack your bags this instant CG No more running from town to town GC And now that we’ve arrived so safely GC Baby you can lay me down GC Lay me down GC Lay me down no GC Lay me down GC Lay me down…
