Abilene, Abilene 
Prettiest town I've ever seen 
Women there don't treat you mean 
in Abilene, my Abilene 

I sit alone most ev'ry night 
Watch those trains pull out of sight 
Don't I wish they were carrying me 
Back to Abilene, my Abilene 

Crowded city, there ain't nothing free 
Nothing in this town for me 
Wish to the Lord that I could be 
in Abilene, sweet Abilene
