Out Among The Stars

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
It's midnight at a liquor store in TexasClosing time another day is doneWhen a boy walks in the door and points a pistolHe can't find a job but Lord he's found a gunHe pulls it off with no trace of confrontationThat he lets the old man run out in the streetEven though he knows they'll come with guns a blazingAlready he can feel that great reliefOh how many travelers get wear-yBearing both their burdens and their scarsDon't you think they'd love to start all overAnd fly like eagles out among the starsHe pictures the arrival of the cruisersSees that old familiar anger in their eyesHe knows that when they're shooting at this loserThey'll be aiming at the demons in their livesOh how many travelers get wear-yBearing both their burdens and their scarsDon't you think they'd love to start all overAnd fly like eagles out among the starsThe evening news carries all the detailsHe dies in every living room in townIn his own a bottle's thrown in angerAnd his father cries we'll never live this downOh how many travelers get wear-yBearing both their burdens and their scarsDon't you think they'd love to start all overAnd fly like eagles out among the starsAnd fly like eagles out among the stars
