Out Among The Stars

D G It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas D A Closing time another day is done D G E When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol D A D He can't find a job,Lord he's found a gun D G He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation D A Then he lets the old man run out in the street D G E Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing D A D And already he can feel that great relief D C G Oh how many travelers get weary D A Bearing both their burdens and their scars D C G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining D A D Fly like eagles out among the stars D G He pictures the arrival of the cruisers D A Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes D G E He knows that when they're shooting at this loser D A D They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives D G The evening news it carries all the details D A He dies in every living room in town D G E At his home a bottle's thrown in anger D A D And his father cries we'll never live this down D C G Oh how many travelers get weary D A Bearing both their burdens and their scars D C G Don't you think they'd love to start all over D A D And fly like eagles out among the stars A G Fly like eagles out among the stars
