ONE HEADLIGHT

So long ago I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend They said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listen through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn Of the long broken arm of human law It always seems such a waste She always had a pretty face I wondered why she hung around this place Come on try a little Nothin' is forever There's got to be somethin' better Than in the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold And 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 I seen the sign up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead Runnin' till she's out of breath She ran until there's nothing left She hit the end, it's just her window ledge Come on try a little Nothin' is forever There's got to be somethin' better Than in the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight This place is old And 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 Now I sit 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 These city walls of dying dreams I think her death it must be killing me Come on try a little Nothin' is forever There's got to be somethin' better Than in the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight
