(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 carrying me back to abilene my abilene
(abilene abilene…)
[ ac.guitar ]
crowded city ain’t nothing free nothing in this old town for me
wish to the lord that i could be in abilene sweet abilene
