No More Pioneers



    I wonder when the summer started smellin' so bad
    He woke up one morning and it seemed that way
    He thought of that woman and it got him so mad
    -- had to hold him to keep him away
    There had to be something he could do about this
    Then the feeling came on him like a shot
    As soon as the woman -- taken
    From me every last thing I got

    Tell me, where do we go from here
    Tell me, where do we go from here
    There ain't no more pioneers
    And the pain is so clear

    His heart is beating fast as a child's
    Those voices from his past, they were calling
    They were saying what they always do to get him more riled
    He opens the door and starts falling
    Then the call comes through on 9-1-1
    And got him --, just another day baby
    Then this woman starts screaming that he's got a gun
    He's gonna blow her and her children all away

    Can you tell me, where do we go from here
    Tell me, where do we go from here
    There ain't no more pioneers
    And the pain is so clear

    Policemen are down in the parking lot
    And they'll come running, baby, when they hear the first shot
    They're gonna kick down the door and hear it ring twice
    Here's your one last chance to do somethin' nice

    Can you tell me, where do we go from here
    Tell me, where do we go from here
    There ain't no more pioneers
    And the pain is so clear
    I wonder when the summer started
    I wonder when the summer started
    I wonder when the summer started
    Smellin' so bad, baby
