Out Among the Stars Johnny Cash
It's Midnight at a li[G]quor store in Texas[C]
[G]Closing time another day is done[D7]
When a [G]boy walks in the door and points a [C]pistol[A7]
He can't [G]find a job but [D7]Lord he's found a [G]gun
He pulls it off with no trace of confron[C]tation
That he [G]lets the old man run out in the [D7]street
Even [G]though he knows they'll come with guns a [C]blazing[A7]
al[G]ready he can [D7]feel that great re[G]lief
Oh how many travelers get [F]wear-[C]y
[G]Bearing both their burdens and their [D7]scars
[G]Don't you think they'd love to start [C]all over
And [G]fly like eagles [D7]out among the [G]stars
He pictures the arrival of the [C]cruisers
Sees that [G]old familiar anger in their [D7]eyes
He [G]knows that when they're shooting at this [C]loser[A7]
They'll be [G]aiming at the [D7]demons in their [G]lives
Repeat #3
Evening news it carries all the [C]details
He [G]dies in every living room in [D7]town
And[G] in his own a bottle's thrown[C] in anger[A7]
And his [G]father cries we'll [D7]never live this [G]down
Oh how many travelers get [F]wear-[C]y
[G]Bearing both their burdens and their [D7]scars
[G]Don't you think they'd love to start [C]all over
And [G]fly like eagles [D7]out among the [G]stars
And fly like eagles [D7]out among the [G]stars
