G I was twenty and she was eighteen
We were j Am ust about as wild as we were green
In the w G ays of the world Am
She p G icked me up in that red ragtop
We were f Am ree of the folks, hiding from the cops
On a s G ummer night, runnin' all the Am red lights
And we p G arked way out at a clearing in a grove
And the n Am ight was as hot as a coal burning stove
We were c G ookin' with gas, ooh it Am had to last
In the back of that r C ed r G a---g Am top
She said p C lease d G on't s Am top
Am Well the v G ery first time her mother met me
Her g Am reen eyed girl had been a mother to be
For t G wo weeks Am
I was o G ut of a job and she was in school
But Am life was fast and the world was cruel
We were y G oung and wild, we decided not to h Am ave a child
So we d G id what we did and we tried to forget
And we s Am wore up and down there would be no regrets
In the m G orning light, but on the way h Am ome that night
On the back of that r C ed r G a---g Am top
She said p C lease d G on't s Am top
Lovin' G me Am
We took o C ne more t G rip ar Am ound the s G un
But it was a C ll make bel G ieve in the e Am nd
No I c C an't say w G here she Am is tod Em ay
I can't re Am7 member who I was back t Bm hen C Am
G Am Well you G do what you do and you pay for your sins
And there's Am no such thing as what might have been
That's a w G aste of time, drive you Am outta your mind
I was s G topped at a red light just yesterday
Be Am side a young girl in a Cabriolet and her e G yes were green
And I was in an o Am ld scene
I was back in that C red G ra---g Am top
On the d C ay s G he s Am topped
Lovin' G me Am
I was back in that C red G ra---g Am top
On the d C ay s G he s Am topped
Lovin' G me Am
