One Headlight

So long ago I don't remember when

That's when they said I lost my only friend

They said she died easy of a broken 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

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

Now 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 this dirt and nothingness is dead

We 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-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

This place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn

It smells of cheap wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

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

With one headlight
