One Headlight

So long ago, I don't remember when

That's when they say I lost my only friend

Well, 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

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

[02:32][01:19]Hey, come on try a little

[02:37][01:23]Nothing is forever

[02:39][01:26]There's got to be something better than

[02:42][01:28]In the middle

[02:44][01:30]But me and Cinderella

[02:46][01:32]We put it all together

[02:48][01:34]We can drive it home

[02:53][01:40]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 to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead

We'll run until she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothin' left

She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

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, 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 the city walls of dyin' dreams

I think of death, it must be killin' me...
