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 Little by little, we drifted from each other's hearts 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 That 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 those letters I wrote When our love was young and bold She said, "Last night I 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 gonna be alright But I drive by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I will disappear
