It was a foggy mornin' south of San Jose
|
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
|
With nothin' left to say
|
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
|
Down her cheek and I brushed it away
|
I remember it all just like yesterday
|
|
And I see it now, I feel it still
|
It's a day I can't forget and never will
|
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
|
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
|
|
Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
|
She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
|
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
|
Her name was Marilyn Justine
|
I fell into her California dream
|
|
And I see it now, I feel it still
|
It's a day I can't forget and never will
|
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
|
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
|
|
Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
|
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
|
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
|
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
|
One fence post at a time
|
|
In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
|
And we faced reality
|
The place that she was goin' had no place for me
|
|
And I see it now, I feel it still
|
It's a day I can't forget and never will
|
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
|
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
|
|
Yeah I called her Norma Jean
|
