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

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

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 those letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said, "Last night I 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 drive by night and I travel in fear
That in this darkness I will disappear
