Well I was 20 and she was 18
\r
And we were just about as wild
\r
As we were green in the ways of the world
\r
She'd pick me up in that red ragtop
\r
And we were free of the folks
\r
And hiding from the cops
\r
Out on the summer nights
\r
Running all the red lights
\r
And we'd park way out in the clearing in a grove
\r
And the night was as hot as a coal burning stove
\r
And we were cookin with gas
\r
You know it had to last
\r
\r
In the back of that red ragtop
\r
She said please don't stop
\r
\r
Well the very first time her mother met me
\r
Her green-eyed girl had been a mother to be for 2 weeks
\r
I was out of a job and she was in school
\r
Life was fast and the world was cruel
\r
And we were young and wild
\r
We decided not to have a child
\r
So we did what we did
\r
And we tried to forget
\r
And we swore up and down
\r
There'd be no regrets in the morning light
\r
And on the way home at night
\r
\r
From the back of that red ragtop
\r
She said please don't stop
\r
Loving me
\r
\r
We took one more trip around the sun
\r
But it was all make believe in the end
\r
And I can't say where she is today
\r
I can't remember who I was back then
\r
\r
Well you do what you do
\r
And you pay for your sins
\r
And there's no such thing
\r
As what might have been
\r
That's a waste of time
\r
Drive you out of your mind
\r
\r
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday
\r
Beside a young girl in a Cabriolet
\r
And her eyes were green
\r
And I was in an old scene
\r
\r
I was back in that red ragtop
\r
On the day she stopped
\r
Loving me
\r
\r
I was back in that red ragtop
\r
On the day she stopped
\r
Loving me
\r
Loving me \r
