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