Bruce Springsteen - Stolen Car (Tracks version) lyrics

Well I found me a girl and I settled down In a pretty little house in a pretty little town We got married and promised never to part Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts Now I'm drivin' a stolen car on a pitch-black night And I'm doin' my best to make it through Well I'm just sittin' down here at the Stanton light I wanna get caught but I never do 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 weep And I'm drivin' a stolen car waitin' on that little red light I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright But I ride by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I might just disappear She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote When our love was young and we were bold She said last night she read those letters And they made her feel a hundred years old There's a river runs by that little town Down into the sea It was there in the shade I lay my body down As she flowed on so effortlessly Now there's a party tonight out at County Line There'll be dancing down at Seven Trees From these banks I can see those party lights shine Maybe she's there, maybe she's looking for me Last night I dreamed I made the call I swore to return and stay forevermore Once again we stood on the wedding steps at Victory Hall And walked arm in arm through the chapel door I can remember how good I felt inside When the preacher said “Son, you may kiss the bride” But as I leaned over to touch her pretty lips I felt it all slip away through my fingertips And I'm drivin' a stolen car through a pitch-black night I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright But I ride by night and I travel in fear No matter what I do or where I drive Nobody ever sees me when I ride by
