Waylon Jennings - Out Among The Stars Lyrics
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
I's closin' time another day is done
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
Me can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun.
They let the ol' man run out in the street
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazin'
And already he can feel that great relief.
Oh, how many travelers get weary
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
He knows that when they're shootin' at this loser
The'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 stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
Evening news it carries all the details
He dies in every living room in town
In his own a bottle's 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 stop complaining
And fly like eagles out among the stars.
Fly like eagles out among the stars...

Fly like eagles out amount the Waylon Jennings stars in the sky RIP WAYLON JENNINGS
This is a NICE confrontation to the money that would follow your foot steps to the last blaze if glory then you become flying Angelis among the stars
Waylon is Waylon. Love this version...the simplicity of the guitar--no problem with the chorus backup. Just pure Waylon solo vocal at its purist.
Waylon Jennings is the legend
Waylon can't be beat
Hearing this compared to John's version shows why Waylon fought against the "the system" . Cash's version is produced by Billy Sherrill who was behind the slick countrypoliton sound that Waylon hated. Both great versions but Waylon's just has so much more soul, pain and depth. Once Cash stripped down his sound with Rick Rubin he was off and running. Bottom line: Waylon was absolutely right to get away from slick, over produced stuff.
Tommy Petersen There's not enough that I can say about waylon.i grew up on his music. Like you I have to get my daily dose.He is the true legend & outlaw!! I loved him then & still love him.❤👍
Best version of this song.
Kid Cooley brought me here@!
This is FANTASTIC..Only on Vinyl?
Love this song. You can hear Carter Robertson really clear on those beautiful harmonies
My Legendary Hero Forever!!!
great song.
Great upload. One of my favorites--storyteller side of Waylon. His voice is so clear and strong--Waylon at the peak of his peak.
This song was written by the esteemed ADAM MITCHELL. It's been recorded by a ton of people over the years - - including Adam himself and Merle Haggard. Nice to hear Waylon's take on it.
This song blew me away. I never heard this one before. Of course Waylon Jennings did his usual magic with this type of song. No one could have done it better. I don't know where you found this, but I am happy you did. Thanks a million Jessi3767
