1
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
2
I's closin' time another day is done
3
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
4
Me can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun.
5
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
6
They let the ol' man run out in the street
7
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazin'
8
And already he can feel that great relief.
9
Oh, how many travelers get weary
10
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
11
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
12
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
13
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
14
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
15
He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser
16
The'll be aiming at the demons in their lives.
17
Oh, how many travelers get weary
18
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
19
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
20
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
21
Evening news it carries all the details
22
He dies in every living room in town
23
In his own a bottle's thrown in anger
24
And his father cries we'll never live this down.
25
Oh, how many travelers get weary
26
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
27
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
28
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
29
Fly like eagles out among the stars
