Intro - [C] x 4 bars
It's Cmidnight at a liquor store in FTexas
CClosing time another day is Gdone
When a Cboy walked in the door and points a Fpistol
He can't Cfind a job, but GLord, he's found a Cgun
He Cpulls it off with no trace of confronFtation
That he Clets the old man run out in the Gstreet
Even Cthough he knows they'll come with guns a Fblazing
AlCready he can Gfeel that great reClief
COh, how many travelers get BbweaFry
CBearing both their burdens and their Gscars
CDon't you think they'd love to start all BboFver
And Cfly like eagles Gout among the Cstars?
He Cpictures the arrival of the Fcruisers
Sees that Cold familiar anger in their Geyes
He Cknows that when they're shooting at this Floser
They'll be Caiming at the Gdemons in their Clives
COh, how many travelers get BbweaFry
CBearing both their burdens and their Gscars
CDon't you think they'd love to start all BboFver
And Cfly like eagles Gout among the Cstars?
(Spoken) 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
(singing again) C#Oh, how many travelers get BweaF#ry
C#Bearing both their burdens and their G#scars
C#Don't you think they'd love to start all BoF#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#
