Abilene

She's five today
Our baby girl's birthday
Have I got the right address for you?
25 Main, Apartment 2

She learned all her a, b, c's
She doesn't watch too much t v
They raised the rent so we had to move
Your brother had an extra room

Maybe one day you could take us to Texas
I hear the folks down there they don't treat you mean
You could take us to the town, where it all begins
From that old song you used to sing to me
Abilene, Abilene, Abilene, Abilene

She minds her manners knows right from wrong
She learned so much since you've been gone
I kiss her twice before she goes to sleep
It's one from you and one from me

That judge sure put you down
Telling you not to come around
If you're driving down our county road
I hope you know you're always welcome home

Maybe one day you could take us to Texas
I hear the folks down there they don't treat you mean
You could take us to the town, where it all begins
From that old song you used to sing to me
Abilene, Abilene
Abilene, Abilene
