Karaoké Out Among the Stars Johnny Cash

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas

Closin' time

Another day is done

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 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-blazin' already he can feel a great relief

Oh how many travelers get weary

Bearin' 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 pictured the arrival of the cruisers

Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes

He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser they'll be aimin' at the demons in their lives

Oh how many travelers get weary

Bearin' 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 evenin' news carried all the details

He dies in every livin' room in town

And in his own a bottle is thrown in anger

And his father cries

We'll never live this down

Oh how many travelers get weary

Bearin' 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
