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 And little by little we drifted from each other's arms At first I thought it was just restlessness That would fade as time went by and our love went deep In the end it was something more I guess That tore us apart and made us weak 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 remember 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 year's 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 And in this dark night I will disappear But I ride by night and I travel in fear And in this dark night I will disappear But I ride by night and I travel in fear
