歌词
[Verse 1]
So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
But since she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun coming 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
[Bridge]
Hey
[Hook]
Come on, try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We'll 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
Saying all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
[Bridge]
Hey
[Hook]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[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
What 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 dying dreams
I think her death, it must be killing me
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey
[Hook]
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
[Guitar Solo Outro]

多添一点：
今天分享一首 The Wallflowers 的《One Headlight》。
这首歌来自他们1996年发行的专辑《Bringing Down The Horse》。当时并没有作为单曲在美国发行，所以它没有资格进入公告牌百强单曲榜，几年后公告牌改变了这一规则。不过，好歌难以被埋没，它在Airplay排行榜上排名第二。而且，在1998年的格莱美颁奖典礼上获得了最佳摇滚双人或组合奖。
这首歌描述了失去纯真，生活在破碎世界的痛苦。然而，它也提供了希望的灯塔，认为人类有可能调和理想主义、对善的追求以及不完美的现实之间的矛盾
Jakob Dylan在采访中谈到：“我倾向于在写作中加入大量隐喻和意象，这样人们会按字面意思理解。我不觉得在团队之外有多少人支持我创作这张专辑。”
也许你觉得这首歌比较悲观，Jakob Dylan解释说：“这些诗句可能看起来很悲观，但是一旦你了解了副歌部分，我认为你可以从不同的角度来看这些诗句，我不认为它们一定是(悲观的)。我认为它们是关于毅力，独立和自力更生。”
名人之后生存很不容易。Jakob Dylan，他的父亲是众人皆知的鲍勃迪伦。尽管Jakob Dylan很有毅力，努力的独立和自力更生，不想做歌二代，但正如他自己所说，创作压力忒大，始终难以摆脱他那赫赫有名的父亲。
而The Wallflowers这个组合的生存也是艰难，几年后就解散了。
