Track Title: Stolen Car Album Title: Tracks, Disc 2 Prime Artist: Bruce Springsteen Written by: Bruce Springsteen Lyrics: 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 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 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 There's 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 there's 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 she's there maby she's looking for me. Last night I dreamed I made the call. I swore to return to stay forever more one's 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 I'm 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. |
