Abilene
by George Hamilton IV

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen.
Folks down there dont treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.

I sit alone most every night
Watch them trains roll out of sight
Wish that they were carryin me
To Abilene, my Abilene.

Crowded city, aint nothin free
Nothin in this town for me
Wish to God that I could be
In Abilene, my Abilene.

How I wish that train would come
Take me back where I come from.
Take me where I want to be
In Abilene, my Abilene.

Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain
If I stay here Ill go insane.
Think I need a change of scene
To Abilene, my Abilene.

Outside my window cold rain falls,
Sit here starin at the walls
If I was home, Id be serene
In Abilene, my Abilene.
