I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married and 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 somethin' more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep

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

She asked if I remember
The letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters again
And they made her feel 100 years old

I'm drivin' a stolen car
On a pitch black night
And I'm tellin' myself
It's gonna be alright
But I ride by night
And I travel in fear
That in this darkness
I will disappear.
