Abilene Abilene prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene
Crowded cities ain't nothing free nothing in this town for me
How I wish that I could be In Abilene my Abilene
Abilene Abilene...
[ ac.guitar ]
I sit alone most every night watch those trains pull out of sight
How I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene sweet Abilene
Abilene Abilene...
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene
