  • 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
    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
    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
    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
    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 of death, it must be killin' me
    Hey, hey 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
    Thanks for watching! if you have any songs you would like me to make a lyrics video for just comment below.

    Been going through one of the hardest times of my life after one of my best friends committed suicide pretty much stopped working and picked up the bottle again a few months down the road I’ve just started to get my life back on track pretty much quit drinking and am back to work. When I was putting down my sub flooring for my current job this song came on today and it just gave me a really good vibe and put me back in a good mood I haven’t been in for a long time. Things are looking up , I miss you everyday brother Rest easy Gib

    Whenever I hear this song, I think of my friend Matt. It was his favorite '90s song. We unfortunately drifted apart after he moved away, which I've always regretted. Loved that guy, he always knew how to cheer me up when I was feeling down.

I recently heard a bit of it.. and then I heard a song that reminded me of it.. and for the last few days I've been humming it and still couldn't for the life of me I couldn't figure out the song.. until right fucking now. Now I will continue to listen it now that I know the name.. I had to keeping humming it until some of the lyrics came to my mind and I finally found it‼️‼️😭😭

Great Song and now I get it the meaning now! btw...Bob Dylan's son...I saw the dad at a concert in England that topped 500,000 attendees at the Blackbush AeroDrome. The event was called "The Picnic" and included Eric Clapton...anyone out there who was at the event?

    I loved this song when I was a boy in the 90's. It's funny how when you re discover something from your childhood and how it applies to your current life. I have a car with one head like and a truck. "I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same." Also hit home. I lost my mother how I got that car with one head light. I remember driving around with my mother when I was a boy.

    For everyone bugging out about the meaning behind the song... Any art is open to your interpretation but here is what the artist intended: Jakob Dylan: "I tend to write with a lot of metaphors and images, so people take them literally. The song's meaning is all in the first verse. It's about the death of ideas. The first verse says, 'The death of the long broken arm of human law.' At times, it seems like there should be a code among human beings that is about respect and appreciation. I wasn't feeling like there was much support outside the group putting together the record. In the chorus, it says, 'C'mon try a little.' I didn't need everything to get through, I could still get through - meaning 'one headlight."

    Lots to be said for a not-complex song or song structure, with a VERY good rhythm section. You'll always work if you can do that well. Not much call for very busy parts. or constantly busy players.
    Sounds like a Tom Petty song.
    isn't it cool you can have this called up and playing just from Googling the lyrics. It'll be playing again before the 1st one is over.

      Jakob Dylan: "I tend to write with a lot of metaphors and images, so people take them literally. The song's meaning is all in the first verse. It's about the death of ideas. The first verse says, 'The death of the long broken arm of human law.' At times, it seems like there should be a code among human beings that is about respect and appreciation. I wasn't feeling like there was much support outside the group putting together the record. In the chorus, it says, 'C'mon try a little.' I didn't need everything to get through, I could still get through - meaning 'one headlight."

    I always loved this song, but I've always been convinced it's about suicide.

    This is one of the only good songs from the 90s era. God damnit I hate the 80s.
