[Verse 1]
So long ago, I can't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Oh, they say she died easy of a broken heart disease
I listened through the cemetery trees
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Come on, try a little, nothing is forever
Got to be something better than in the middle
Me and Cinderella can put it all together
We can drive home with one headlight

[Verse 2]
This place is cold, it feels like Independence Day
I can't break away from this parade
Oh, and there's got to be an opening here
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
Oh oh oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Come on, try a little, nothing is forever
Got to be something better than in the middle
Me and Cinderella can put it all together
We can drive home with one headlight

[Verse 3]
This place is old, it feels just like a beat-up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
What smells of cheap wine, cigarettes
This place is such an ugly mess
Sometimes I'm gonna sit and watch it burn, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Come on, try a little, nothing is forever
Got to be something better than in the middle
Me and Cinderella can put it all together
We can drive home with one headlight
