Out Among The Stars Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

[VERSE 1]
It's[D] midnight at a liquor store in Texas [G]
Closing [D]time another day is done [A]
When a boy wal[D]ks in the door and points a pistol [G] [E]
He can't find a [D]job,Lord [A]he's found a gun [D]

[VERSE 2]
He p[D]ulls it off with no trace of confrontation [G]
Then he lets th[D]e old man run out in the street [A]
Even though h[D]e knows they'll come with guns a blazing [G] [E]
And already he[D] can feel th[A]at great relief [D]

[CHORUS]
Oh h[D]ow many travelers get weary [C] [G]
Bearing[D] both their burdens and their scars [A]
Don't y[D]ou think they'd love to stop complaining[C] [G]
Fly like[D] eagles out amo[A]ng the stars [D]

[VERSE 3]
He p[D]ictures the arrival of the cruisers[G]
Sees that old fa[D]miliar anger in their eyes [A]
He knows th[D]at when they're shooting at this loser [G] [E]
They'll be aiming[D] at the demons [A]in their lives [D]

[VERSE 4]
The [D]evening news it carries all the details[G]
He dies in[D] every living room in town [A]
At his home a [D]bottle's thrown in anger [G] [E]
And his father [D]cries we'll[A] never live this down [D]

[CHORUS]
Oh h[D]ow many travelers get weary [C] [G]
Bearing[D] both their burdens and their scars [A]
Don't y[D]ou think they'd love to start all over [C] [G]
And fly like[D] eagles out amo[A]ng the stars [D]
Fly like eagles out amo[A]ng the stars [G]
