RED RAGTOP
Tim McGraw
Intro: G, G, Am, Am
G G Am Am
I was twenty and she was eighteen. We were just about as wild as we were
G G Am Am
green in the ways of the world
G G Am Am
She picked me up in that red ragtop. We were free of the folks and hiding
G G Am Am
from the cops on a summer night, running all the red lights
G G
We'd park way out in a clearing in a grove
Am Am
And the night was as hot as a coal-burning stove
G G Am Am
We were cooking with gas. knew it had to last
C G Am Am
In the back of that red ragtop
C G Am Am Am Am
She said please don't stop

G G
Well the very first time her mother met me
Am Am G G Am Am
Her green-eyed girl had been a mother-to-be for two weeks
G G
I was out of job and she was in school
Am Am
And life was fast and the world was cruel
G G Am Am
We were young and wild. We decided not to have the child
G G
So we did what we did and we tried to forget
Am Am
And we swore up and down there would be no regrets
G G Am Am
In the morning light, but on the way home that night
C G Am Am
On the back of that red ragtop
C G Am Am C G Am Am
She said please don't stop loving me
C G Am Am
We took one more trip around the sun
C G Am Am
But it was all make believe in the end
C G Am Am
And no I can't say where she is today
C G Am Am C C Am Am
I can't remember who I was back then
G G Am Am
G G
Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins
Am Am
And there's no such thing as what might have been
G G Am Am
That's a waste of time, Drive you out of your mind
G G
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday
Am Am
Beside a young girl in a cabriolet
G G Am Am
And her eyes were green. And I was in an old scene
C G Am Am
I was back in that red ragtop
C G Am Am
On the day she stopped loving me
C G Am Am
C G Am
I was back in that red ragtop
C G Am Am
On the day she stopped loving me
Repeat G G Am Am out
