Stolen Car - Patty Griffin

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
