   G            C          G
I met a little girl and I settled down
                   C         G
In a little house out on the edge of town
        C                       G
We got married, and swore we'd never part
                C                          G
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

Chorus:
                    C
And I'm driving a stolen car
                 G
Down on Eldridge Avenue
              C
Each night I wait to get caught
       G
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

Chorus:
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
