I was twenty and she was eighteen
Am
We were just about as wild as we were green
G
Am
In the ways of the world

She picked me up in that red ragtop
Am
We were free of the folks, hiding from the cops
G
Am
On a summer night, runnin' all the red lights
G
And we parked way out at a clearing in a grove
Am
And the night was as hot as a coal burning stove

We were cookin' with gas, ooh it had to last

Am
For two weeks

I was out of a job and she was in school

But 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
Am
And we swore up and down there would be no regrets
G
Am
In the morning light, but on the way home that night
