"I want to get caught but I never do."
"I ride by night and travel in fear that in this darkness I will just disappear."
"Nobody sees me when I drive by." is the last verse of the "Tracks" version.
I believe the main character in "Stolen Car" is already dead, which makes the song take on a much different meaning, especially the section about the love letters.
Man, that is a good interpretation! I see him as feeling as if his life is over and his soul is dead, longing for that zest for living he had when he was much younger. It seems as if he is a middle aged guy that questions whether he means anything anymore to anyone in the world. He has no clue how to be true to his ownself and just wants to get out.

@franklintitan I don’t necessarily agree that the narrator is PHYSICALLY dead in Stolen Car, but he absolutely, positively feels like a GHOST ????… So what I’m saying is, even though we may differ in our overall interpretations, there IS Death at the edges Of the song, haunting the narrator, meaning that, it looks like to me that we agree, yet don’t agree, each interpretation holding, for our intended and purposes here, legitimacy and weight!
