Lyric 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.
