[ Doyle Holly ]
Abilene Abilene prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene sweet Abilene
I sat alone most every night watched the trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene my Abilene
Abilene oh Abilene...
[ steel ]
Crowded city there ain't nothing free nothin' in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be back in Abilene sweet Abilene
Abilene oh Abilene...
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene
