I was twenty and she was eighteen, we were
Am%|
just about as wild as we were green in the
G%|Am%|G
ways of world. She'd pick me
%|Am
up in that red rag top, we were free of the
%|G
folks and hiding from the cops on a summer
%|Am%
night, running all the red lights. We'd
|G%
park way out in a clearing in a grove, and
|Am%
the night was as hot as a coal-burning stove,
|G%|Am
we were cooking with gas, knew it had to
%|CG|
last. In the back of that red rag
     
Am%|CG|Am%
top, she said please don't stop...
|G%
Well, the very first time her mother met me
|Am%
her green eyed girl had been a mother-to-be
|G%|Am%|G
for 2 weeks. I was out
%|Am
of a job and she was in school, and life was
%|G
fast and the world was cruel, we were young
%|Am
and wild. We decided not to have a
%|G%
child. So we did what we did, and we tried
|Am
to forget, and we swore up and down there
%|G
would be no regrets in the morning
%|Am
light, but on the way home that
%|CG|
night, from the back of that red rag
Am%|CG|Am
top, she said please don't stop
     
%|G%|Am%
loving me.
|CG|AmEm
We took one more trip a- round the sun, but
|CG|Am%
it was all make believe in the end. And
|CG|AmEm
no I can't say where she is today. I can't
|AmEm|G%|Am
re- member who I was back then.
%|G%|Am%
|G%
Well, you do what you do and you pay for your
|Am%
sins, and there's no such thing as what might
|G%
have been, that's a waste of time, drive
|Am%|G
you out of your mind. I was stopped at a
%|Am
red light just yesterday, be- side a young girl
%|G%
in a cabriolet, and her eyes were green. I
|Am%|
was in an old scene. I was back in that
     
CG|Am%|CG|Am
red rag top on the day she stopped
%|G%|CG
loving me. I was back in that red rag
|Am%|CG|Am%
top on the day she stopped loving

me.
