Long Way to Abilene

Im just driving by my lonesome
No one here will call me by my name
I went west when I left Tulsa
Cause the bridge over the red river's in flames

Amarillo's not the place I need to be
New Mexico ain't that far away
I'll be traveling back down highway 20 east
Cause I took the long way to Abilene
Yea I took the long way to Abilene

I don't trust a broken arrow
Most of them are just too bent to aim
You can load em in your crossbow
But you know that arrow just don't fly the same

So Amarillo's not the place I need to be
New Mexico ain't that far away
I'll be traveling back down highway 20 east
Cause I took the long way to Abilene
Yea I took the long way to Abilene
Yea I took the long way to Abilene
