Lyrics Stolen Car - Patty Griffin

Stolen Car

I met a little girl and i settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, we 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
But in the end there was more i guess
That tore us apart and made us weep
I’m riding a stolen bike
Up and down Damon Avenue
Each night i wait to get caught
But i never do
She asked if i remembered those 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 riding a stolen bike
On a pitch black night
I keep telling myself it’s gonna be alright
But i ride by night and i travel in fear
That in this darkness i will disappear
