Lyrics
I was twen ty and she was eight een, we were (Am7)just a bout as wild as we were green in the (G)ways of the world.
She picked me up in that red rag top.
We were (Am7)free of the folks and hid in’ from the cops on a (G)sum mer night,
run nin’ all the (Am7)red lights.
We parked way out in a clear ing in a grove and the night was as hot as a coal burn in’ stove.
We were (G)cook in’ with gas
and we had to last.
In the back of that (C)red
(G)rag
(Am7)top
she said, (C)“Please
(G)don’t
(Am7)stop.”
Well, the (G)ver y first time her moth er met me, her (Am7)green eyed girl had been a moth er to be for two weeks.
I was (G)out of a job and she was in school and life was fast and the world was cruel.
We were (G)young and wild.
We de cid ed not to (Am7)have a child.
So we did what we did and we tried to for get.
And we swore up and down there would be no re grets in the (G)morn in’ light.
But on the way (Am7)home that night,
on the back of (G)that (C)red
(G)rag
(Am7)top,
she said, (C)“Please
(G)don’t
(Am7)stop
lov in’ me.”
We took (C)one more (G)trip a (Am7)round the sun, but it was (C)all make be lieve in the end.
No, I (C)can’t say (G)where she (Am7)is to day.
I can’t re mem ber who I was
back (Bm7)then.
Well, you do what you do and you pay for your sins.
And there’s (Am7)no such thing as what might have been.
That’s a (G)waste of time,
drive you (Am7)out of your mind.
I was stopped at a red light just yes ter day be side a young girl in a Ca bri o let and her (G)eyes were green.
And I was in an (Am7)old scene.
I was back in (G)that (C)red
(G)rag
(Am7)top
on (G)the (C)day
(G)she
(Am7)stopped
lov in’ me.
I was back in (G)that (C)red
(G)rag
(Am7)top
on (G)the (C)day
(G)she
(Am7)stopped
lov in’ me.
I was back in (G)that
