Abilene, Abilene
|
Prettiest town I ever seen.
|
Folks down there don't treat you mean
|
In Abilene, my Abilene.
|
|
I sit alone most every night
|
Watch them trains roll out of sight
|
Wish that they were carryin' me
|
To Abilene, my Abilene.
|
|
Crowded city, ain't nothin' free
|
Nothin' in this town for me
|
Wish to God that I could be
|
In Abilene, my Abilene.
|
|
How I wish that train would come
|
Take me back where I come from.
|
Take me where I want to be
|
In Abilene, my Abilene.
|
|
Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain
|
If I stay here I'll go insane.
|
Think I need a change of scene
|
To Abilene, my Abilene.
|
|
Outside my window cold rain falls,
|
Sit here starin' at the walls;
|
If I was home, I'd be serene
|
In Abilene, my Abilene.
