Midnight at a liquor store in Texas
C
G7
It’s closing time another day is done
C
F
D7
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
C
G7
C
He can’t find a job but Lord he’s found a gun
F
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
C
G7
That he lets the old man run out in the street
C
F
D7
Even though he knows they’ll come with guns a blazing
C
G7
C
And already he can feel that great relief
A~
F
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
C
G7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
C
F
Don’t you think they’d love to stop complaining
C
G7
C
And fly like eagles out among the stars
F
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
C
G7
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
C
F
D7
He knows that when they’re shooting at this loser
C
G7
C
They’ll be aiming at the demons in their lives
F
Evening news it carries all the details
C
G7
He dies in every living room in town
C
F
D7
In his own a bottle’s thrown in anger
C
G7
C
And his father cries we’ll never live this down
A~
F
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
C
G7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
C
F
Don’t you think they’d love to start all over
C
G7
C
And fly like eagles out among the stars
G7
C
And fly like eagles out among the stars
C
D7
A~
F
