She said her mind was made up,
|
As she put on her make-up,
|
Said there was nothing here for her,
|
She just packed up her suitcase,
|
And she walked right out that front gate,
|
With her taxi waiting at the curb,
|
|
Too many empty nights alone,
|
Too late I realize,
|
It's a cryin shame it took her tears,
|
To open up my eyes,
|
|
I should have seen, Abeline,
|
On her mind,
|
Her leavin me, and Tennessee,
|
Far behind,
|
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
|
All alone there waitin' on me,
|
All the warnin' signs were there,
|
But I was blind,
|
I should have seen Abeline,
|
On her mind,
|
|
Last night the band played Dallas,
|
I sang the song I wrote about us,
|
And you could feel the sadness in the air,
|
After the show was over,
|
I felt a hand lay on my shoulder,
|
Turned around and found her standin' there,
|
|
She said after all these years,
|
It's nice to know your dreams came true,
|
And the wedding band there on her hand,
|
Told me that hers had to,
|
|
I should have seen, Abeline,
|
On her mind,
|
Her leavin me, and Tennessee,
|
Far behind,
|
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
|
All alone there waitin' on me,
|
All the warnin' signs were there,
|
But I was blind,
|
I should have seen Abeline,
|
On her mind,
|
I should have seen Abeline,
|
On her mind,
|
Abeline,
|
On her mind
|
