For You
Revving Hearts and Crazy Dreams: For You by David Ball
Lyrics
Well, I was going down the road when she caught my eye
Expresses the moment of attraction as the singer notices a red Corvette while driving.
That little red Corvette with a for sale sign
The red Corvette is available for sale, prompting the singer's interest.
Laid my money down and walked out the door
The singer buys the Corvette, raising curiosity about why a "pickup man" would want a convertible.
Wondering what a pickup man wants a convertible for
Reflects on the unusual choice of a convertible for someone associated with pickups.
For you blue eyes five foot two
The singer addresses someone with blue eyes and a height of five feet two inches.
For you I do the crazy things I know I really shouldn't oughta do
Expresses willingness to do unconventional and perhaps irrational things for the person with blue eyes.
I've either lost touch with reality or I've found a dream come true
The singer acknowledges the possibility of being out of touch with reality but feels like they found a dream.
I'd climb the Himalayas swim a river full of gators for you
Uses hyperbole to emphasize the extent of dedication, willing to climb the Himalayas and swim with alligators.
I got a fishing rod and a set of golf clubs
Mentions possessions like a fishing rod and golf clubs that are neglected due to the focus on the relationship.
Just sittin' in a corner collecting dust
Objects like fishing rod and golf clubs are unused and left in a corner.
I'm a certified lunatic some might say
The singer humorously describes themselves as a certified lunatic, indicating a carefree and spontaneous attitude.
It wouldn't mean a thing to me to give them all away
Expresses a lack of attachment to material possessions, ready to give them away.
For you blue eyes five foot two
Reiterates the dedication to the person with blue eyes and a short stature.
I'd do the crazy things I know
Reaffirms the willingness to do unconventional things for the person despite knowing they shouldn't.
I really shouldn't ought to do
Acknowledges the awareness of the unconventional actions but expresses a willingness to do them anyway.
I'd climb the Himalayas swim a river full
Continues the use of hyperbole, stating a readiness to face extreme challenges like climbing the Himalayas and swimming with alligators.
Of gators for you, hmm for you
Concludes with a repeated declaration of the singer's readiness to face challenges for the person they care about.
