[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
