So  long ago I don't remember  when
 That's when  they say I lost my only  friend
 They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
 As I listened through the cemetary trees
 I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
 I've long broken all of human law
 It always seemed such a waste
 She always had a pretty face
 I wondered why she hung around this place
 Hey hey hey...
 ] ---
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  can drive it home ...  with one headlight.
She  said its cold it  feels like independence day
 And  I can't break away from this parade
 But theres got to be an opening
 Somewhere here in front of me
 Through this maze of ugliness and greed
 I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
 Saying all is good and nothing less its dead
 Runnin' till she's out of breath
 She ran until there's nothing left
 She hit the end its just her window ledge
Hey  hey hey...
This  place is old feels just like  a beat up truck
 I turn  the engine but the engine doesn't turn
 With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes
 This place is always such a mess
 Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
 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
 These city walls and dyin' dreams
 I think her death it must be killing me
Hey  hey hey...
