I got the Chevy all shined up Paid a little more for a hair cut Ironed up a pearl snap Left that old ball cap Gave myself a little extra smell good splash I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette Did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl I dialed her up some more George Strait Me and old George sang Marina Del Rey There by the water's edge Big sky turnin' red That perfect night she said she can't forget I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette Did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl I did it for that long hair, fallin' down, layin' on her shoulders Those blue eyes want me to hold her I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette Did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl Dancin' on the front porch Reachin' out to grab my shirt, pull me through the front door Did it for the midnight, candlelight, anything to make her mine All mine I did it for the girl I did it for the girl
