Tim McGraw Red Rag Top lyrics

I was twenty and she was eighteen
We were just as wild as we were green
In the ways of the world
She picked me up in that red rag top

We were free of the folks and hiding from the cops
On a summer night runnin' all the red lights
We parked way out in a clearin', in a groove and the night
Was hot as a coal burnin' stove
We were cookin' the gas, we were had to last

In the back of that red rag top
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
I was out of a job and she was in school
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 morning 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
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

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 outta your mind
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday
Beside a young girl in a cabriolet and her eyes were green
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
