STOLEN CAR
I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, and swore wed never part
Then little by little we drifted from each others 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
And Im 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
Theres a river that runs by that little town down into the sea.
It was there in the shade I laid my body down as she flowed on so evertlessly.
Now theres a party tonight out off the county line, there be dancing down at seven trees.
From these banks I can see those party lights shine, maby shes there maby shes looking for me.
Last night I dreamed I made the call.
I swore to return to stay forever more ones again we stood on the wedding steps at whipre hall and walked on and on through the chapel door.
I can remember how good I felt inside when the preacher said sone you may
kiss the bride.
But as I leaned over to touch here pretty lipps I felt I all slip away
through my fingertips.
And Im driving a stolen car through a pits black night.
I keep telling myself everything is gona be allright.
But I ride by night and I travel in fear no matter what I do, or wher I
drive.
Nobody sees me when I ride by.
