Out Among the Stars

G C It's Midnight at a liquor store in Texas G D7 Closing time another day is done G C A7 When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol G D7 G He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun C He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation G D7 That he lets the old man run out in the street G C A7 Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing G D7 G already he can feel that great relief F C Oh how many travelers get wear-y G D7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars G C Don't you think they'd love to start all over G D7 G And fly like eagles out among the stars C He pictures the arrival of the cruisers G D7 Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes G C A7 He knows that when they're shooting at this loser G D7 G They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives Repeat #3 C Evening news it carries all the details G D7 He dies in every living room in town G C A7 And in his own a bottle's thrown in anger G D7 G And his father cries we'll never live this down F C Oh how many travelers get wear-y G D7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars G C Don't you think they'd love to start all over G D7 G And fly like eagles out among the stars D7 G And fly like eagles out among the stars
