[Tim McGraw - Red Ragtop lyrics]
I was twenty and she was eighteen
We were just about as wild as we were
Green in the ways of the world
Well, she picked me up in that red ragtop
We were free of the folks
And hidin' from the cops
On a summer night, runnin' all the red lights
We parked way out in a clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot
As a coal burnin' stove
We were cooking with gas knew 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 was a mother
To be for two weeks (O oh)
I was out of a job and she was in school
And life was fast and the world was cruel
We were young and wild (O oh)
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 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
(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 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
We were just about as wild as we were
Green in the ways of the world
Well, she picked me up in that red ragtop
We were free of the folks
And hidin' from the cops
On a summer night, runnin' all the red lights
We parked way out in a clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot
As a coal burnin' stove
We were cooking with gas knew 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 was a mother
To be for two weeks (O oh)
I was out of a job and she was in school
And life was fast and the world was cruel
We were young and wild (O oh)
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 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
(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 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
