Abilene

(John D. Loudermilk)

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene my Abilene.

I sit alone most ev'ry night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carryin' me
Back to Abilene my Abilene.

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene my Abilene.

--- Instrumental ---

Crowded city ain't nothin' free
Not a thing in this ole town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be
In Abilene my Abilene.

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene my Abilene...
