Chords with lyrics
E MajorE 
A augmentedA
Midnight at a liquor store in Texas
E MajorE 
B7B7
It's closing time another day is done
E MajorE A augmentedA 
F#7F#7
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun
A augmentedA
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
E MajorE B7B7
That he lets the old man run out in the street
E MajorE A augmentedA F#7F#7
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And already he can feel that great relief
D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
E MajorE B7B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E MajorE A augmentedA
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And fly like eagles out among the stars
A augmentedA
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
E MajorE B7B7
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
E MajorE A augmentedA F#7F#7
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives
Repeat #3
A augmentedA
Evening news it carries all the details
E MajorE B7B7
He dies in every living room in town
E MajorE A augmentedA F#7F#7
In his own a bottle's thrown in anger
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And his father cries we'll never live this down
D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
E MajorE B7B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E MajorE A augmentedA
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And fly like eagles out among the stars
B7B7 E MajorE
