Lyrics Christmas Out Among The Stars - Speedy Justice

Christmas at a liquor store in Texas
Closing time, another season done
A young man shuts the door and points a pistol
He can't hold a job, but he can hold a gun
He pulls it off, no trace of confrontation

He lets the old man run out in the street
Oh, he knows they'll come with guns a-blazin'
But already he can feel the great relief
Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing 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 pictures the arrival of the cruisers
He 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 start all over
And fly like eagles out among the stars
The evening news, it carries all the details
Yeah, he dies in every living room in town

And in his home, a bottle's thrown in anger
And his father cries, I'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 start all over
And fly like eagles out among the stars
And fly like eagles out among the stars
