[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
And I'm driving a stolen car down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught, but I never do

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
