One Headlight Lyrics
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 broke heart disease
as I listened through the cemetary 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
there's got to be something better than in the middle
me and cinderella
put it all together
we could drive it home
with one headlight
she said it's cold
it feels like independance day
and I can't break away from this parade
but there's got be an openin'
somewhere here in front of me
through this maze of ugliness and greed
I've seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge
sayin' all is good and nothingness is head
we ran 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
there's got to be something better than in the middle
me and cinderella
put it all together
we could 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 cigerettes
this place is always such a mess
sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone
I 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
put it all together
we could drive it home
with one headlight.
