 Verse 1
 [E] It's midnight at a liquor stor[B7]e in Texas
 Cl[E]osing time another day is done[B7]
 When a b[E]oy walks in the door and points a p[B7]istol
 He can't f[E]ind a job, [B7]Lord he's found a g[E]un
 
 Verse 2
 [E]He pulls it off with no trace of confront[B7]ation
 Then he l[E]ets the old man run out in the str[B7]eet
 Even th[E]ough he knows they'll come with guns a bl[A]azing
 alre[E]ady he can f[B7]eel that great rel[E]ief
 
 Chorus
{soc}
 [E]Oh how many travelers get [D]wear[A]y
 B[E]earing both their burdens and their sc[B7]ars
 D[E]on't you think they'd love to start [A]all over
 And fl[E]y like eagles o[B7]ut among the st[E]ars
{eoc}
 
 Verse 3
 [E]He pictures the arrival of the [A]cruisers
 Sees that [E]old familiar anger in their [B7]eyes
 He kn[E]ows that when they're shooting at this l[A]oser
 They'll be [E]aiming at the d[B7]emons in their l[E]ives
 
 Verse 4
 [E]The evening news it carries all the [A]details
 He [E]dies in every living room in t[B7]own
 And [E]in his house a bottle's thrown [A]in anger
 And his f[E]ather cries we'll [B7]never live this [E]down
 
Chorus
{soc}
 [E]Oh how many travelers get [D]wear[A]y
 B[E]earing both their burdens and their sc[B7]ars
 D[E]on't you think they'd love to start [A]all over
 And fl[E]y like eagles o[B7]ut among the st[E]ars
{eoc}
