VERSE 1
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


CHORUS
Come on, try a little
Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the middle,
But me and Cinderella,
We put it all together,

We can drive it home with one headlight

VERSE 2

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


CHORUS
Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than in the middle,
But me and Cinderella,

We put it all together,
We can drive it home with one headlight


VERSE 3
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 city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me


CHORUS
Come on, try a little
Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the middle,
But me and Cinderella,
We put it all together,

We can drive it home with one headlight
