Intro: G C G G C G I met a little girl and I settled down G C G In a little house out on the edge of town G C G We got married and swore weʼd never part G C G Then little by little we drifted from each otherʼs 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 G C And Iʼm 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 And Iʼm driving a stolen car On a pitch black night And Iʼm telling myself Iʼm gonna be alright But I ride by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I will disappear
