The Middle of the Road

Just the ramblings of a middle-aged father, citizen, and truck driver. Thoughts on politics, society, child-rearing; the nature of things past, the hope of things to come, and the price of everything around us. Plus the occasional family update. Sort of like an Annual Christmas Letter without end and no needles to vaccuum up for the next 6 months! Enjoy.

Stolen Car by Bruce Springsteen

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a pretty little house in a pretty little town
We got married, and 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
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep

And I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do

She asked if I remembered the 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

And I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night
And I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
That in this darkness I will disappear
