One Headlight

Lyrics

So long ago I don't remember when
 That's when they said I lost 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 long broken arm of human law
 Now it 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 little
 Nothing is forever
 Got to be something better than in the middle
 Me and Cinderella
 We 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 be an opening
 Somewhere here in front of me
 Through this maze of ugliness and greed
 And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
 Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
 We run until she's out of breath
 She ran until there's nothing left
 She hit the end, just her window ledge
 ♪
 Hey-ey-ey
 Come on try a little
 Nothing is forever
 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
 Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
 This place is always such a mess
 Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it 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 in between the city walls of dying dreams
 I think her death, it must be killing me
 ♪
 Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey
 Come on try a little
 Nothing is forever
 There's got to be something better than in the middle
 Me and cinderella
 We put it all together
 We can drive it home
 With one headlight
 
 So long ago I don't remember when
 That's when they said I lost my only friend
 Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease
 As I listened through the cemetery trees

 With the long broken arm of human law
 Now it always seemed such a waste
 She always had a pretty face
