She always loved the sound
Of this beat-up old guitar
The rain pouring down
And this tattoo on my arm
These days, that's just how
She hangs around

She could be down in Pensacola
Or somewhere in Santa Cruz
But no matter where I turn
I've got her burned in my rearview

She'll always be a red ragtop Chevrolet leavin'
She'll always be in my head when that sun starts sinkin'
The nights are long 'cause the days are gone
With her wakin' up next to me
But she's on my mind
And she'll always be
She'll always
She'll always

She'll always be that song
The one that takes me back
To a summer that felt so long
But went by way too fast
The heartache I thought I killed
But still ain't in the past

She'll always be a red ragtop Chevrolet leavin'
She'll always be in my head when that sun starts sinkin'
The nights are long 'cause the days are gone
With her wakin' up next to me
But she's on my mind
And she'll always be
She'll always be
She'll always

Yeah, she'll always be a red ragtop Chevrolet leavin'
She'll always be in my head when that sun starts sinkin'
The nights are long 'cause the days are gone
With her wakin' up next to me
But she's on my mind
And she'll always be
She'll always
Yeah, she'll always be
She'll always
She'll always be

A memory showin' up
Every time that sun goes down
These days, that's just how
She hangs around
