Out Among The Stars

It's midnight at a liquor store in texas
Closing time
Another day is done
When a boy walks in the door
And points a pistol
He can't find a job
But lord he's found a gun
He pulls it off with
No trace of confrontation
Then he lets the old man
Run out in the street
Even though he knows they'll
Come with guns a blazing
Already he can fell that great relief
Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens
And their scars
Don't you think they'd love
To start all over
And fly like eagles
Out amoung the stars?
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
Sees that old familiar
Anger in their eyes
He knows that when
They're shooting at this loser
They'll be aiming at
The demons in theis lives
Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens
And their scars
Don't you think they'd love
To start all over
And fly like eagles
Out amoung the stars?
The evening news
Carried all the details
He dies in every living room in town
In his own a bottle's thrown in anger
And his father cries
He'll never live this down
Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens
And their scars
Don't you think they'd love
To start all over
And fly like eagles
Out amoung the stars?
And fly like eagles
Out amoung the stars
