It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas |
| [00:11.67] |
Closing time another day is done |
| [00:16.79] |
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol |
| [00:21.96] |
He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun |
| [00:27.82] |
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation |
| [00:33.00] |
Then he lets the old man run out in the street |
| [00:38.47] |
Even though he knows they'll come with guns ablazing |
| [00:44.17] |
Already he can feel that great relief |
| [00:50.10] |
Oh how many travelers get weary |
| [00:55.60] |
Bearing both their burdens and their scars |
| [01:01.14] |
Don't you think they'd love to start all over |
| [01:06.45] |
And fly like eagles out among the stars |
| [01:11.97] |
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers |
| [01:16.91] |
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes |
| [01:22.83] |
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser |
| [01:28.35] |
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives |
| [01:34.06] |
Oh how many travelers get weary |
| [01:39.60] |
Bearing both their burdens and their scars |
| [01:44.95] |
Don't you think they'd love to start all over |
| [01:50.32] |
And fly like eagles out among the stars |
| [01:59.00] |
The evening news carries all the details |
| [02:04.23] |
He dies in every living room in town |
| [02:09.88] |
And in his own a bottle is thrown in anger |
| [02:14.90] |
And his father cries we'll never live this down |
| [02:20.88] |
Oh how many travelers get weary |
| [02:26.26] |
Bearing both their burdens and their scars |
| [02:31.94] |
Don't you think they'd love to start all over |
| [02:37.16] |
And fly like eagles out among the stars |
| [02:42.72] |
And fly like eagles out among the stars |
