[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

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

[Verse 2]
Livin' in a '55 Cadillac
Five people sleep in shifts
Robbin' liquor stores and going back
With the cash and rollin' in it

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

[Verse 3]
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

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