Well I brake for brunettes Blondes in Corvettes Redheads I stop on a dime Now the way I drive It's a wonder that I Ever get anywhere on time So don't tailgate my pick-up truck Or you just might wind up in a wreck Now they ain't made the sticker for my bumper just yet but I brake for brunettes I let Firestone put me some new tires on Just a few weeks ago But man I swear that wear and tear Is already startin' to show Well I oughta just whistle or yell But man I can't help myself 'Cause I brake for brunettes Blondes in Corvettes Redheads I stop on a dime Now the way I drive It's a wonder that I Ever get anywhere on time Don't tailgate my pick-up truck Or you just might wind up in a wreck Now they ain't made the sticker for my bumper just yet but I brake for brunettes You'll see them big skid marks by the wave pool park And Judy's beauty salon Lord I tore up the street in front of Betty's boutique Where they come out with mini-skirts on Well I know I'm gonna wear out my tread Down by Tina's tanning beds 'Cause I brake for brunettes Blondes in Corvettes Redheads I stop on a dime Now the way I drive It's a wonder that I Ever get anywhere on time So don't tailgate my pick-up truck Or you just might wind up in a wreck No they ain't made the sticker for my bumper just yet but I brake for brunettes I brake for brunettes Man I brake for brunettes
