Stolen Car Songtext

von Bruce Springsteen

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town.
We got married and swore we'd never part.
Then little by little
We drifted from each others' 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
That tore us apart and made us weep.
And 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.
And I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night.
And I'm telling myself
I'm gonna be all right.
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
That in this darkness I will disappear.
