One Headlight

So long ago, I don't remember when

That's when they say I lost my only friend

But since she died easy of a broken heart disease

I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face

So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We'll put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

She said, "It's cold, it feels like Independence Day

And I can't break away from this parade"

But there's got to be an opening somewhere, here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge

Saying all there's good and nothingness is dead

We'll run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothing left

She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

Hey

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than

In the middle

{But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Well, this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn

What smells of cheap wine, cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams

I think her death, it must be killing me

Hey, hey, hey

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than

In the middle

{But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight
