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 we'd never
part
G
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
G
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
And 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
