Red Ragtop Lyrics

I was 20 and she was 18
We were just about as wild
As we were green in the ways of the world
She'd pick me up in that red ragtop
We were free at the folks
Hand from the cops
Summer summer night
Running all the red lights
We parked way out in the clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot so coal burning stove

We were cookin with gas
Knew it had the last

In the back of that red ragtop
She said please don't stop

Well the very first time her mother met me
Her green-eyed girl had been a mother to be for 2 weeks
I was out of a job and she was in school
And 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
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 ragtop
She said please don't stop
Loving me

We took one more trip around the sun
But it was all make believe in the end
Now I can't say where she is today
I can't remember who I was back then

Well you do what you do
When you pay for your sins
And there's no such thing
As what might have been
That's a waste to time
Drive you out of your mind

I was stopped at a red light just yesterday
Beside a young girl in a Cabriolet
And her eyes were green
And I was in an old scene

I was back in that red ragtop
On the day she stopped
Loving me

I was back in that red ragtop
On the day she stopped
Loving me
Loving me
