Abilene

We don't need to talk about Abilene

'Cause Abilene don't mean

No coffee shop, no liquor store

So I don't talk about Abilene no more

Young lovers like to dream

We'll settle down and make a good team

Well Main Street was cute and the rents there were cheap

But I was too much for you and for your Abilene

We don't need to talk about Abilene

'Cause Abilene don't mean

No couple acres, no screened-in porch

So I don't talk about Abilene no morе

I remember thе air when I drove out of town

Crying on the highway with my windows down

I'da stayed there forever, 'til death do us part

Texas in my rearview, Plains in my heart

Couldn't hold it together when Abilene fell apart

We don't need to talk about Abilene

'Cause Abilene don't mean

No turning the garden, no toys on the floor

So I don't talk about Abilene no more

We don't need to talk about Abilene

'Cause Abilene don't mean
