A breathtaking and wretched song, but absolutely gorgeous from a production and composition standpoint. “Stolen Car” is delicate and simple, with drama created from a minimal melody performed on piano and timpani. The storyline is easy to follow and is about a breakup and the pain and suffering that...
[Verse 1]
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 hearts
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now there's a party tonight out at County Line
There'll be dancin' down at Seven Trees
From these banks I can see those party lights shine
Maybe she's there, maybe she's looking for me
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
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
