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  
  
  
  
Alternate version on Tracks:  
  
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  
Now I'm driving a stolen car on a pitch-black night  
And I'm doin' my best to make it through  
Well I'm just sittin' down here at the Stanton light  
I wanna get caught but I never do  
  
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 waitin' on that little red light  
I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright  
But I ride by night and I travel in feat  
That in this darkness I might just disappear  
  
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote  
When our love was young and we were bold  
She said last night she read those letters  
And they made her feel a hundred years old  
  
There's a river that runs by that little town down into the sea  
It was there in the shade I laid my body down  
As she flowed on so effortlessly  
Now there's a party tonight out off the county line  
There'll be dancing down at Seven Trees  
From these banks I can see those party lights shine  
Maybe she's there, maby she's looking for me  
  
Last night I dreamed I made the call  
I swore to return to stay forevermore  
Once again we stood on the wedding steps at Victory Hall  
And walked arm in arm through the chapel door  
I can remember how good I felt inside  
When the preacher said "Son you may kiss the bride"  
But as I leaned over to touch her pretty lips I felt it all slip away through my fingertips  
And I'm driving a stolen car through a pitch-black night  
I keep telling myself everything's gonna be alright  
But I ride by night and I travel in fear  
No matter what I do or where I drive  
Nobody ever sees me when I ride by
