Waylon Jennings - Out among the stars

It's^D midnight at a liquor store in Texas ^G Closing ^Dtime another day is done ^A When a boy wal^Dks in the door and points a pistol ^{G E} He can't find a ^Djob,Lord ^Ahe's found a gun ^D

He p^Dulls it off with no trace of confrontation ^G Then he lets th^De old man run out in the street ^A Even though h^De knows they'll come with guns a blazing ^{G E} And already he^D can feel th^Aat great relief ^D

Oh h^Dow many travelers get weary ^{C G} Bearing^D both their burdens and their scars ^A Don't y^Dou think they'd love to stop complaining^{C G} Fly like^D eagles out amo^Ang the stars ^D

He p^Dictures the arrival of the cruisers^G Sees that old fa^Dmiliar anger in their eyes ^A He knows th^Dat when they're shooting at this loser ^{G E} They'll be aiming^D at the demons ^Ain their lives ^D

The ^Devening news it carries all the details^G He dies in^D every living room in town ^A At his home a ^Dbottle's thrown in anger ^{G E} And his father ^Dcries we'll^A never live this down ^D

Oh h^Dow many travelers get weary ^{C G} Bearing^D both their burdens and their scars ^A Don't y^Dou think they'd love to start all over ^{C G} And fly like^D eagles out amo^Ang the stars ^D Fly like eagles out amo^Ang the stars ^G
