|
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 |
