[Verse 1:]
|
|
I was twenty and she was eighteen,
|
we were just as wild as we were green, in the ways of the world
|
she picked me up in that red rag top,
|
we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops,
|
on a summer night runnin' all the red lights
|
we parked way out in a clearin'in a grove and the night
|
was hot as a coal burnin' stove,
|
we were cookin' the gas we were had to last
|
|
In the back of that red rag top
|
She said please don't stop
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
|
Well the very first time her mother met me,
|
her green eyed girl was a mother to be for 2 weeks
|
I was out of a job and she was in school,
|
life was fast and the world was cruel
|
We were young and wild, we decided not to have a child
|
So we did what we did and we tried to forget
|
and we swore up and down there would be no regrets
|
in the morning light,
|
but on the way home that night
|
|
On the back of that red rag top
|
She said please don't stop..
|
lovin' me
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
We took one more trip around the sun,
|
It was all make believe in the end,
|
No I can't say where she is today,
|
I can't remember who I was, back then
|
Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins,
|
and there's no such thing as what might've
|
been, that's a waste of time; drive you outta your mind
|
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl
|
in a cabriolet and her eyes
|
were green
|
I was in an old scene
|
|
I was back in that red rag top
|
On the day she stopped
|
Loving me
|
I was back in that red rag top
|
On the day she stopped
|
Loving me
|
