Well I was 20 and she was 18
And 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
And we were free of the folks
And hiding from the cops
Out on the summer nights
Running all the red lights
And we'd park way out in the clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot as a coal burning stove
And we were cookin with gas
You know it had to 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
Life was fast and the world was cruel
And 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'd be no regrets in the morning light
And on the way home at night
From 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
And 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 have been
That's a waste of 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
And 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
And we were free of the folks
And hiding from the cops
Out on the summer nights
Running all the red lights
And we'd park way out in the clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot as a coal burning stove
And we were cookin with gas
You know it had to 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
Life was fast and the world was cruel
And we were young and wild

And we swore up and down
