Overall Meaning

The repetition of the lyrics "Buy you a Chevrolet/Buy you a diamond ring/Build you a house and home/Just do somethin' for you" in Robben Ford's song "Chevrolet" suggests that the singer is pleading with their partner to do something to make them happy. However, by repeating these promises throughout the song, the singer hints at an unspoken implication that buying a Chevrolet, a diamond ring, and building a house and home are not enough to satisfy their partner.


The title of the song "Chevrolet" may have several meanings within the song. It may simply be a reference to the car brand, symbolizing a desire for stability and comfort. The repeated promises to buy the car could therefore represent an attempt to provide the singer's partner with these qualities. Alternatively, the Chevrolet could be a metaphor for something else; a symbol of the American Dream, or perhaps even the rags-to-riches story of a struggling musician who longs for the trappings of success. Either way, the song's message is clear: the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make their partner happy, but they're worried it may not be enough.
