I can't remember who I was back then
Her green eyed girl had been a mother to be
And I was in an old scene
And her eyes were green
But on the way home that night
Drive you outta your mind
And there's no such thing as what might have been
She said, "Please don't stop"
Well, the very first time her mother met me
No, I can't say where she is today
For two weeks
We were cookin' with gas
Beside a young girl in a Cabriolet
In the ways of the world
That's a waste of time
On the back of that red ragtop
And life was fast and the world was cruel
I was back in that red ragtop
We were young and wild
We were free of the folks and hidin' from the cops
And the night was as hot as a coal burnin' stove
She said, "Please don't stop lovin' me"
On the day she stopped lovin' me
I was out of the job and she was in school
On a summer night
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday
But it was all make believe in the end
She picked me up in that red ragtop
And we swore up and down there would be no regrets
Ooh, it had to last
We took one more trip around the sun
And we parked way out in a clearing in a grove
We decided not to have a child
I was back in that red ragtop
In the mornin' light
Well, you do what you do and you pay for your sins
Runnin' all the red lights
In the back of that red ragtop
So we did, what we did and we tried to forget
