[Verse 1]
GI was twenty and she was eighteen
CWe were just about as wild as we were green in Gthe ways of the worldC
She'd pickG me up in that red ragtop
we were fCree of the folks and hiding from the cops
on a summGer night, runnin all the Cadd9red lights
so we'd pGark way out in a clearing in a grove
and the niCght was as hot as a coal burnin stove
we were coGokin with gas,
oh it haCadd9d to last
[Chorus]
in the back of that Cred Grag Amtop
she said Cplease doGnt stoAmp
[Verse 2]
well the vGery first time her mother met me
her Cgreen eyed girl had been a mother to be foGr two weeksC
i was outG of a job and she was in school
Clife was fast and the world was cruel
we were Gyoung and wild,
we decided not to Chave a child
so we didG what we did and we tried to forget
and weC swore up and down there would be no regrets in theG morning light
but on the wayCadd9 home that night
[Chorus 2]
on the back of that Cred Grag tAmop
she said pleaCse Gdont Amstop lovingG me Cadd9
[Verse 3]
we took Cone more Gtrip arAmound the sGun
and it was Call make bGelieve in the eAmnd
no iC cant say wGhere she iAms tGoday
i cant Amremember who i Gwas back Amthen
well you do wGhat you do
and you pay for your sins and theresC no such thing as what might have been
thats a wasGte of time,
drive you oCut of your mind
i was stoGpped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl iCn a cabriolet
and her Geyes were green
and i was in an Cadd9old scene
[Outro]

on the Cday sGhe sAmtopped lovin Gme Cadd9
i was back in that Cred Grag tAmop
on the Cday sGhe Amstopped lovin Gme
