Abilene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't you see I'm holding your flag
The one that you left on the ground
Well is the world too heavy for you
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
No one's gonna stand in your light
Impressions are easy to fight
But until you turn to me and say
You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay o
[CHORUS:]
Abilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
Isn't it good to be free o
Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
The one with the heart on the sleeve
Everyone can see you've been hurt
But honey don't give up on me
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna get out of bed
Well everyday you're gonna find
Broken promises are no worse than words never said
[CHORUS]
Then you want someone to come along and save the day
Well you make it much too hard
[CHORUS]
