Johnny Cash - Out Among the Stars lyrics

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
Closing time another day is done
When a boy walked 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 feel a 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 among 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 their 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 among 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 among the stars?

And fly like eagles out among the stars?
