(no subject)
Well I found me a little 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 heart
Now i'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night
and i'm doing my best to make it through
Well i'm just sitting 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
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep
And I'm driving a stolen car
waiting on that little red light
i keep telling myself everything 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 laid my body down
as she flowed on so effortlessly
Now there's a party tonight out on county line,
there 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 to stay forever more
once again we stood on the wedding steps at victory hall
and walked on and on 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 driving a stolen car through a pitch black night
I keep telling 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
In a pretty little house in a pretty little town
