[Verse 1] When Abilene was young and gay And thunderstorms filled the day The cattle roamed outside the town [Chorus] Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun [Verse 2] Then tracks were lain across the plain By broken men in torrid rain The towns grew up, the people were still [Chorus] Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun [Bridge] We all joined in and we all hold hands We all joined in to help run the land But soldiers once, long, long ago Rode into town and rodе down those [Chorus] Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in thе midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun [Verse 3] Gold came and went, quickly spent And the people broke down and often drowned From wealth and pain of old Abilene [Chorus] They were sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun They were sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun
