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
