Title: 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
So I wondered how she hung around this place
CHROUS: ( Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than In the middle
But me & 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
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
They run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
(chorus)
Well 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 & cigarettes this place is always such a mess
Sometimes
'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 her death it must be killin' me
(chorus)
