Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene
 
I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains roll out of sight
Wish that 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
 
Crowded city, there ain't nothin' free
Nothin' in this town for me
Wish to the lord that I could be
In Abilene, sweet Abilene
 
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene
 
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene
