"Stolen Car" lyrics

"Stolen Car"

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts

At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess
Tore us apart and made us weep

I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do

She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters
And they made her feel one-hundred-years old

I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch-black night
And I'm telling myself
It's going to be all right

I drive by night
And I travel in fear
That in this darkness
I will disappear
