Stolen Car

    Written by Bruce Springsteen



    I met a little girl and I settled down
    In a little house on out on the edge of town
    We got married, swore we'd never part
    Then little by little we drifted from eachother's hearts
    At first I thought it was just restlessness
    That it'd fade as time went by, and our love would heal
    In the end it was something more, I guess
    Tore us apart and made us real

    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 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

    I'm driving a stolen car
    On a pitch black
    And I'm telling myself
    It's gonna be all right
    I drive by night
    And I travel in fear
    That in this darkness
    I will disappear
