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 heart
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
That tore us apart and made us weep
And 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
And i'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night
And i'm telling myself i'm gonna be alright
But i ride by night and i travel in fear
That in this darkness i will disappear
