Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You wrote The Kiss and it is beautiful
I can listen again and again
You never really got a break
From the car wrecks and the pain
[Verse 2]
You loved the Sons of the Pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just tryin' to put a hand to where we are
Where we are, where we are
[Verse 3]
Livin' in a '55 Cadillac
Five people sleep in shifts
Robbin' liquor stores and goin' back
With the cash and rollin' in it
[Verse 4]
You loved the Sons of the Pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just tryin' to put a hand to where we are
[Verse 5]
You never talked about your past
About the drugs and walkin' in the streets
They found you with a needle in your arm
Beloved books strewn around at your feet
[Verse 6]
You loved the Sons of the Pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just tryin' to put a hand to where we are
[Verse 7]
You loved the Sons of the Pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just tryin' to put a hand to where we are
Where we are, where we are, where we are
