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 RAG TOP
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 COOKIN'
WITH GAS
OOH IT HAD TO LAST
IN THE BACK OF THAT
RED RAG TOP
AND 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 TWO WEEKS
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
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 MORNIN' LIGHT
BUT ON THE WAY HOME
THAT NIGHT
ON THE BACK OF THAT
RED RAG TOP
SHE SAID
PLEASE DON'T STOP
LOVIN' ME
WE TOOK ONE MORE TRIP
AROUND THE SUN
BUT IT WAS
ALL MAKE BELIEVE
IN THE END
NO I CAN'T SAY
WHERE SHE IS TODAY
I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHO I WAS
BACK THEN
4 BAR
BREAK
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 RAG TOP
ON THE DAY
SHE STOPPED
LOVING ME
I WAS BACK IN THAT
RED RAG TOP
ON THE DAY
SHE STOPPED
LOVING ME
