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
