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 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
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
