"Stolen car" - Patty Griffin

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
