Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen I met a little girl and I settled down In a little house out on the edge of town We got married, swore we'd never part And little by little we drifted from each other'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 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
