Patty Griffin - Stolen Car lyrics

rate me

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 would fade as time went by, and our love grew deep

In the end it was something more, I guess

Tore us apart and made us weep

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 night

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
