New Set of Tires

Come over here, honey, I gotta talk to you

She knows I'm a certified mechanic

If it's broke I can fix it in a minute Got boxes full of wrenches

Got a background buildin' engines

And my name on a dirty shirt

So I said "Where'd you get those new Pirellis?"

She said "What the heck are new Pirellis?

"And why you gettin' so defensive?

"I was just out with my girlfriends

"For a sale at the mall and a hairdo

"Thought I'd drop the car off for a tune-up

"So what?"

I said "Baby, I ain't callin' you a liar, honey

"But a girl just don't go get a new set of tires"

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she ain't comin' back

Unless she drove 'em over broken glass and run 'em all flat

Unless racin' Dale Jr. is her secret desire

A girl just don't go get a new set of tires

Now she knows she can tippy-toe right past me

In new clothes, shoes and shiny jewelery

With a box of chocolate candy

And a big bouquet of daisies

And I wouldn't even blink

But uh-uh, ain't no sneakin' around it

If it rolls, I know everything about it

I've been up and underneath it

I can eat and drink and sleep it

Baby, cars are my life

Now you might soap it and wash it in the drive, honey

But a girl just don't go get a new set of tires

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she ain't comin' back

Unless she drove 'em over broken glass and run 'em all flat

Unless racin' Dale Jr. is her secret desire

A girl just don't go get a new set of tires

She can justify the glitter-eyes,

Gold toe nail polish, Gucci sunglasses

And the bottle of Italian red wine

Unless she's got her eyes on another town and another guy

A girl just don't go get a new set of tires

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she ain't comin' back

Unless she drove 'em over broken glass and run 'em all flat

Unless racin' Dale Jr. is your secret desire

A girl just don't go get a new set

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she ain't comin' back

Unless she's prone to burnin' rubber at the drop of a hat

Unless racin' Dale Jr. is your secret desire

A girl just don't go get a new set of tires

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she's leavin'

Unless she's leavin'
