Abilene

[Verse 1]

Can't you see I'm holdin' your flag?

The one that you left on the ground

Well, is the world too heavy for you?

And if it makes you feel better, I'll carry it too

'Cause 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

[Chorus]

Abilene

Bring it on home to me

Abilene

Well, isn't it good to be free?

[Verse 2]

Can't you see I'm wearin' your shirt?

The one with the heart on the sleeve

Now everyone can see you've been hurt

Oh, but honey, don't give up on me

Oh, when you gonna make up your mind?

When you gonna get out of bed?

Well, every day you're gonna find

Broken promises are no worse than words never said

[Chorus]

Abilene

Bring it on home to me

Abilene

You're always givin' it all away

[Bridge]

Then you want someone to come along and save the day

But you make it much too hard

[Chorus]

Abilene

You can bring it home to me

Abilene, oh

Abilene

Bring it on home to me

Abilene

Isn't it good to be free?

[Outro]

Ooh, oh

Ooh, oh
