One Headlight Lyrics

[00:26.26] So long ago I don't remember when
[00:31.14] That's when they said I lost my only friend
[00:35.66] Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease
[00:40.21] As I listened through the cemetery trees
[00:45.48]
[00:52.46] I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
[00:58.28] With the long broken arm of human law
[01:02.76] Now it always seemed such a waste
[01:05.05] She always had a pretty face
[01:07.73] I wondered why she hung around this place
[01:12.03]
[01:18.74] Hey-ey-ey
[01:21.01] Come on try a little
[01:23.58] Nothing is forever
[01:25.74] Got to be something better than in the middle
[01:30.19] Me and Cinderella
[01:32.33] We put it all together
[01:34.48] We can drive it home
[01:38.81] With one headlight
[01:43.10]
[01:49.66] She said it's cold
[01:51.55] It feels like independence day
[01:54.66] And I can't break away from this parade
[01:58.92] But there's got be an opening
[02:01.75] Somewhere here in front of me
[02:03.93] Through this maze of ugliness and greed
[02:07.02] And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
[02:11.94] Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
[02:16.90] We run until she's out of breath
[02:19.61] She ran until there's nothing left
[02:22.11] She hit the end, just her window ledge
[02:26.48]
[02:31.52] Hey-ey-ey
[02:36.13] Come on try a little
[02:38.19] Nothing is forever
[02:40.48] Got to be something better than in the middle
[02:45.07] But me and Cinderella
[02:47.15] We put it all together
[02:49.20] We can drive it home
[02:53.43] With one headlight
[02:56.87]
[03:11.14] Well this place is old
[03:14.56] It feels just like a beat up truck
[03:17.29] I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
[03:21.88] Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
[03:24.80] This place is always such a mess
[03:26.99] Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
[03:30.96] I'm so alone
[03:32.14] Feel just like somebody else
[03:35.19] Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
[03:39.19] But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams
[03:44.83] I think her death, it must be killing me
[03:49.32]
[03:52.60] Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey
[03:58.66] Come on try a little
[04:01.29] Nothing is forever
[04:03.57] There's got to be something better than in the middle
[04:08.09] Me and Cinderella
[04:10.24] We put it all together
[04:12.00] We can drive it home
[04:14.91] With one headlight
[04:19.02]
