[Verse 1]
D G
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
D A
Closing time another day is done
D G E
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
D A D
He can't find a job,Lord he's found a gun
[Verse 2]
D G
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
D A
Then he lets the old man run out in the street
D G E
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
D A D
And already he can feel that great relief
[Chorus]
D C G
Oh how many travelers get weary
D A
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
D C G
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
D A D
Fly like eagles out among the stars
[Verse 3]
D G
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
D A
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
D G E
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
D A D
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives
[Verse 4]
D G
The evening news it carries all the details
D A
He dies in every living room in town
D G E
At his home a bottle's thrown in anger
D A D
And his father cries we'll never live this down
[Chorus]
D C G
Oh how many travelers get weary
D A
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
D C G
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
D A D
And fly like eagles out among the stars
A G
Fly like eagles out among the stars
