I met a little girl and we settled down
In a pretty little house on the edge of town
We got married and swore we'd never to 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
But in the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weak
I'm driving a stolen car ???

She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read, she read those letters
And they made her feel a hundred years old
And I'm driving a stolen car ???
And I drive by night and I ride in fear
And in this darkness I disappear
Theres a river that runs by that little town
Down into the sea
It's there in the shade I lay my body down
As she flows on effortlessly
Last night I dreamed I made the call
I swore to return and stay with her forever
Once again we stood on those wedding steps at Victory Hall
And walked arm in arm through the chapel door
Now I remember how good I felt inside
When the father said "son you may kiss the bride"
But I ???
Through the darkness ???
And I'm driving a stolen car ???
???
