Red Ragtop Lyrics

Artist: Tim McGraw
Album: Tim McGraw And The Dancehall Doctors

I was twenty and she was eighteen
We were just about as wild as we were green
In the ways of the world
She'd pick 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
We'd park way out in a clearing in a grove
And the night was as hot as a coal-burning stove
We were cooking wiht gas
Knew it had to last

(Chorus)
In the back of that red ragtop
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 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 the 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

(Chorus)
From 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
And 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

(Chorus)
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

by NGE on 6/7/2008 8:47am GIRL, you and i lived parts of this song and i can't help wondering how things would be if we would have done somethings different. NO MATTER WHAT, i will ALWAYS love you. I know you don't understand that now but someday you will. I hope! 143
by Amanda on 6/7/2008 7:43pm This is a really amazing song , personally. I think it's one of my favorites. Tim McGraw has such an amazing voice. Really easy to conect with. Easy Going. I Love it. This song touches me. It's just awesome.
by Courtney on 6/12/2008 5:50pm This is me and the love of my lifes song. We are 16 and totally in love. And that part about when one of us stops loving the other is not going to happen. Ever. We are in love and we walways will be. We will grow up, get married and be happy for the rest of our lives.
by Brandon on 7/8/2008 10:16pm To Courtney: I hope you are right. But even if not, don't let it get you down. I wish you the best of luck. I love this song.
by Cheryl on 7/19/2008 1:08pm To T: Finally had a chance to listen to this song and you're right, we can relate. A very big decision was made 30 years ago and it's natural for it to still be on our minds. So much love was there and life led us down very different paths than what would have been. I've realized I still love you and I wish I could give you what was yours and ours. Thanks Tim McGraw for touching on a very deep subject so many people have had to deal with that is such an emotional one. God will forgive the sins but we must try and find peace while dealing with the aftermath.

by A on 2/7/2009 2:16pm I miss you CL. You were a great love in my life & although life had other plans for us, I will never forget you & the love you brought to my life.
by AMC on 3/23/2009 7:17pm My First Love and I lived the beginning of this song except i kept mine and he left. Very true song. I still have not seen him again and will always have a special place in my heart for him
by Calli on 3/30/2009 4:27am I hope this doesn't work out to me and my man. We're the ages in the song, and realistically, probably we will become the song, minus the pregnancy. Love this song but it makes me want to cry thinking about if it happened to us.
by kylie on 4/14/2009 6:17pm this song used to make me cry....its really sad. but it has a great meaning and im sure many people can relate to it. its one of those songs that you make everyone be quiet for 3 minutes while you listen to it...right to the end. (L)
by Tiffany on 6/11/2009 4:29am this is a good song and i can relate to it.. everytime i hear this song i cry but it's only 'cause it's that real...It happend to me and when i hear this song it lets me know that i'm not alone... this is that song you would want to just sit in quiet and listen to
by Imogen Star on 6/11/2009 5:42pm To Becky Lynne: Agreed.
by Josh on 10/11/2009 1:47pm Makes me think of my girl and how much I hope it last this time around.
by Sup on 10/31/2009 11:13pm this song is actually by a man named jason white, just so you all know. and his rendition is a billion times more moving.
by Tori on 11/6/2009 6:58am Read the book "Shades of Blue" by Karen Kingsbury. These song lyrics are not just about love-they are about a serious decision that can affect the rest of your life and that of a child. Read Karens book and you will gain great insite!
