[Verse 1]
You wrote "The Kiss" and it is beautiful
I can listen again and again
You never really got a break
From the carwrecks and the pain

[Chorus]
You loved the songs of the pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just trying to put a hand
To where we are
Where are

[Verse 2]
Living in a '55 Cadillac
Five people sleep in shifts
Robbing liquor stores and going back
With the cash and rolling in it

[Chorus]
You loved the songs of the pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just trying to put a hand
To where we are
Where are

[Verse 3]
You never talked about your past
About the drugs and walking in the streets
They found you with a needle in your arm
Beloved books strewn around your feet

[Chorus]
You loved the songs of the pioneers
And the Hollywood cowboy stars
You were just trying to put a hand
To where we are
Where are
