	        Verse 1: 
F                                   Bb 	  	  	  	  	  	  	       
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas. 
   F                                C7 	  	  	  	  	  	  	       
Beneath the neon, close up's just begun.  
       F 	  	                           Bb    G     
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol. 
         F               C7                 F 	  	  	  	       
He can't find a job, but man, he's found a gun.

F                                           Bb 	  	  	  	  	  	  	       
But a change of heart before there's confrontation. 
          F                                 C7 	  	  	  	  	  	  	       
Let's the old man live and run out in the street. 
       F                                          Bb     G 	  	  	  	  	  	  	       
But he knows that soon they'll come with guns a blazing. 
      F            C7             F  
And already he can feel a great relief. 
 	  	  	  	  	  	       
F Bb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Bb G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars.
Verse 3: F Bb He pictures the arrival of the cruisers. F C7 Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes. F Bb G He knows that when they're shooting at this loser, F C7 F They'll be aiming at the deamons in their lives.
F Bb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Bb G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars.
Verse 4: F Bb The evening news it carries all the details. F C7 He dies in every living room in town. F Bb G And in his home a bottle's thrown in anger. F C7 F And his father cries, 'We'll never live this down.'
F Bb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Bb G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars.
F C7 F Oh-Oh, and fly like eagles out among the stars.
