Tim Mcgraw Red Rag Lyrics

Red Rag Lyrics

I was twenty and she was eighteen.
We were just about as wild as we were
green,
In the ways of the world.
She picked me up in that red
ragtop,
We were free of the folks and hiding from the cops on a summer
night.
Running all the red lights.
An' we parked way out in a clearing in
a grove,
And the night was as hot as a coal-burning stove: we were cooking
with gas.
Ooh, it 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 had been a mother-to-be for two weeks.
I was out of a job and
she was in school.
And 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 all the way home that night:

On the back of that
red ragtop,
She said: "Please don't stop loving me."

We took one more
trip around the sun,
But 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 have been, that's a waste of time.
Drive you out of your mind.
I
was stopped at a red light just yesterday.
Beside a young girl in a
cabriolet, and her eyes were green.
And I was in an old scene.
I was back
in that red ragtop,
On the day she stopped loving me.
I was back in that
red ragtop,
On the day she stopped loving me.
