Abilene 歌詞

There's a greyhound bus Leavin' the great Northwest Takin' her tonight Back down south to Texas She's been dancing' on tables To pay rent and be able To just get by and maybe stay clean. Abilene, Abilene Abilene, Abilene. Well her daddy'd get drunk Then he'd hit her hard And her mama'd lie in bed High on pills and talkin' to God But like her beautiful tattoos These old memories she can't lose Since she ran away at fifteen. Abilene, Abilene There's a town ahead that you've never seen Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to Forget everything Abilene. Starin' out the window At the long cold night Ahead on the horizon Is another string of bright lights She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet In a bar on an Austin street Maybe this one won't be so mean. Abilene, Abilene There's a town ahead that you've never seen And maybe it's better if you get off there and try to Forget everything Abilene. In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old Rememberin' every lie he's told 'Til he changes his mind and he leaves. Abilene, Abilene There's a town ahead that you've never seen Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to Forget everything Abilene, Abilene Oh Abilene, Abilene.
