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



Crowded city, there ain't nothin' free 
Nothin' in this town for me 
Wish to the Lord that I could be 
In Abilene, sweet Abilene

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


		(Women there don't treat you mean)
		In Abilene, my Abilene
