[Verse]
G Am7 G                                
■ ■   I was twenty and she was eighteen
        Am7                   C                    G                 Am7
We were just about as wild as we were green in the ways of the world ■  
G                                  
She'd pick me up in that red ragtop
        Am7                   C                         G           
We were free of the folks and hiding from the cops on a summer night
                Am7       
Running all the red lights
         G                                    
And we'd park way out in a clearing in a grove
        Am7                                    
And the night was as hot as a coalburning stove
        G                        Am7        
We were cooking with gas knew it had to last


[Chorus]
                    C   G      Am7
In the back of that red ragtop ■  
         C      G     Am7 
She said Please don't stop


[Verse]
         G                                
Well the very first time her mother met me
Am7                                          G   Am7   Am
Her greeneyed girl had been a mothertobe for two weeks ■ 
      G                                 
I was out of a job and she was in school
    Am7                                  
And life was fast and the world was cruel
        G             
We were young and wild
                  Am7         
We decided not to have a child
      G                                     
So we did what we did and we tried to forget
       Am7                                                G            
And we swore up and down there would be no regrets in the morning light
               Am7            
But on the way home that night


[Chorus]
                    C   G      Am
On the back of that red ragtop ■ 
         C      G     Am7         G 
She said Please don't stop loving me
Am7         C        G    Am7    Am  Em 
■   We took one more trip around the sun
       C       G                  Am  Am7
But it was all makebelieve in the end ■  
     C         G     Am7    Am    Em
No I can't say where she is today ■ 
        Am7                     Bm7 
I can't remember who I was back then

[Verse]
         G                                       
Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins
    Am7                                          
And there's no such thing as what might have been
         G                       Am7             
That's a waste of time drive you out of your mind
      G                                     Am7                               
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl in a cabriolet
        G                            Am7         
And her eyes were green and I was in an old scene


[Chorus]
                   C   Bm Am    
I was back in that red ■  ragtop
       C   G   Am      Am7        G 
On the day she stopped ■   loving me
Am7                    C   G      Am7 Am Am7
■   I was back in that red ragtop ■   ■  ■  
       C   G   Am7            G 
On the day she stopped loving me
