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

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 we are

where we are

living in a '55 cadillac

five people sleep in shifts

robbing liquor stores and going back

with the cash and rolling in it

you loved the songs of the pioneers

and the hollywood cowboy stars

you were just trying to put a hand to where we are

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

you loved the songs of the pioneers

and the hollywood cowboy stars

you were just trying to put a hand to where we are

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 we are

where we are

where we are
