Abilene Lyrics

ABILENE 

  

 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
