Lyrics
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene
I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene
My Abilene
Crowded city, there ain't nothing free
Nothing in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be in Abilene
