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
OF 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 COME ON
TRY A LITTLE
NOTHIN' IS FOREVER
IT'S GOT TO BE
SOMETHIN' BETTER THAN
IN THE MIDDLE
ME AND 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 OPENIN'
SOMEWHERE HERE
IN FRONT OF ME
THROUGH THIS MAZE
OF UGLINESS
AND GREED
WE SEEN A SIGN
UP AHEAD AT THE
COUNTY-LINE BRIDGE
SAYIN' ALL IS 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
HEY COME ON
TRY A LITTLE
NOTHIN' IS FOREVER
IT'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
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
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 SEEDY WALLS
OF DYIN' DREAMS
I THINK HER DEATH
IT MUST BE KILLIN' ME
WELL HEY HEY HEY
COME ON TRY A LITTLE
WELL NOTHIN'
IS FOREVER
IT'S GOT TO BE
SOMETHIN' BETTER THAN
IN THE MIDDLE
WELL ME
AND CINDERELLA
WE PUT IT
ALL TOGETHER
WE CAN DRIVE IT HOME
WITH ONE HEADLIGHT
