Out Among The Stars

E A Midnight at a liquor store in Texas E B7 It's closing time another day is done E A F#7 When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol E B7 E He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun A He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation E B7 That he lets the old man run out in the street E A F#7 Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing E B7 E And already he can feel that great relief D A Oh how many travelers get wear-y E B7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars E A Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining E B7 E And fly like eagles out among the stars A He pictures the arrival of the cruisers E B7 Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes E A F#7 He knows that when they're shooting at this loser E B7 E They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives Repeat #3 A Evening news it carries all the details E B7 He dies in every living room in town E A F#7 In his own a bottle's thrown in anger E B7 E And his father cries we'll never live this down D A Oh how many travelers get wear-y E B7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars E A Don't you think they'd love to start all over E B7 E And fly like eagles out among the stars B7 E And fly like eagles out among the stars
