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
