G It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas. C The boy with the gun is G nervous and the girl at the counter is D shaking. G He's got a sawed-off shotgun in a C paper bag and his G car is D running in the G parking lot. C And he'll be out among the stars tonight. G Way beyond the flashing blue lights. D He'll be out among the stars tonight. G G He's been looking for work for over a year. C But there ain't no work for a G man down here, not D in this town. G And his father's words are in his head. C 'You're a loser, boy,' is G what he said and it's D weighing him G down. C And he'll be out among the stars tonight. G Way beyond the flashing blue lights. D He'll be out among the stars tonight. G G Now the sirens are screaming in the night. C And he's standing in the G middle of the D bright spotlights. G And the news is on the television. C And the neighbors all watch in G disbelief as they D say his G name. G And his mother's crying in the kitchen. C But his father says, 'I G told you so,' and it's D such a G shame. C And he'll be out among the stars tonight. G Way beyond the flashing blue lights. D He'll be out among the stars tonight. G C Yes, he'll be out among the stars tonight. G Way beyond the flashing blue lights. D He'll be out among the stars tonight. G
