Abilene (02-?-48) - Lighnin' Hopkins, Hopkins

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 pull out of sight

Don’t I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene my Abilene

Abilene Abilene…

Crowded city ain’t nothing free not a thing in this old town for me

Wish to the Lord that I could be in Abilene my Abilene

Abilene Abilene…
