Cash Out - Niteboi

It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas Closing 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 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 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 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 carried all the details He dies in every living 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 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?
