[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
