(No Capo)

Intro.:  (C) x 4 bars

It's (C)midnight at a liquor store in (F)Texas
(C)Closing time another day is (G)done
When a (C)boy walked in the door and points a (F)pistol
He can't (C)find a job, but (G)Lord, he's found a (C)gun

He (C)pulls it off with no trace of confron-(F)tation
That he (C)lets the old man run out in the (G)street
Even (C)though he knows they'll come with guns a (F)blazing
Al-(C)ready he can (G)feel that great re-(C)lief

(Chorus)
(C)Oh, how many travelers get (Bb)wea-(F)ry
(C)Bearing both their burdens and their (G)scars
(C)Don't you think they'd love to start all (Bb)o-(F)ver
And (C)fly like eagles (G)out among the (C)stars?

He (C)pictures the arrival of the (F)cruisers
Sees that (C)old familiar anger in their (G)eyes
He (C)knows that when they're shooting at this (F)loser
They'll be (C)aiming at the (G)demons in their (C)lives

(Chorus)
(C)Oh, how many travelers get (Bb)wea-(F)ry
(C)Bearing both their burdens and their (G)scars
(C)Don't you think they'd love to start all (Bb)o-(F)ver
And (C)fly like eagles (G)out among the (C)stars? |(C) |(C#) |(C#)

The (C#)evening news carried all the (F#)details
He (C#)dies in every living room in (G#)town
And (C#)in his own a bottle's thrown in (F#)anger
And his (C#)father cries, (G#) he'll never live this (C#)down

(Chorus)
(C#)Oh, how many travelers get (B)wea-(F#)ry
(C#)Bearing both their burdens and their (G#)scars
(C#)Don't you think they'd love to start all (B)o-(F#)ver
And (C#)fly like eagles (G#)out among the (C#)stars?

And (C#)fly like eagles (G#)out among the (F#)stars? |(F#) |(C#) |(C#) -----
