ONE HEADLIGHT
So l ong ago I don't remember when
That's when they said I l ost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
With the l ong broken arm of human l aw
Now i t always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place
Hey-ey-ey
Come on try a l ittle
Nothing i s forever
Got to be something better than i n the middle
Me and Cinderella
We put i t all together
We can drive i t home
With one headlight
She said i t's cold
It feels l ike i ndependence day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got be an opening
Somewhere here i n front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county l ine bridge
Sayin' all i s good and nothingness i s dead
We run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothing l eft
She hit the end, j ust her window l edge
Hey-ey-ey
Come on try a l ittle
Nothing i s forever
Got to be something better than i n the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put i t all together
We can drive i t home
With one headlight
Well this place i s old
It feels j ust l ike a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
Well i t smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place i s always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd l ike to watch i t burn
I'm so alone
Feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here i n between the city walls of dying dreams
I think her death, i t must be killing me
Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey
Come on try a l ittle
Nothing i s forever
There's got to be something better than i n the middle
Me and Cinderella
We put i t all together
We can drive i t home
With one headlight
