Out Among The Stars - Claire Lynch

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas

Beneath the neon

Close up's just begun

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

No trace of confrontation

He let's the old man run out in the street

And he knows

That soon they'll come with guns a blazing

And 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 stop complaining

And fly like eagles out among the stars

He pictures the arrival of the cruisers

Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes

And 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 stop complaining

And fly like eagles out among the stars

The evening news it carries all the details

He dies in every living room in town

And in his home a bottle's thrown in anger

And his father cries

We'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 stop complaining

And fly like eagles out among the stars

And fly like eagles out among the stars
