Abilene, Abilene, prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene, my Abilene
I sat alone, most every night
Watch the trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carrying 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 nothing free
Nothing in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be back
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
