Abilene

Lyrics for Abilene

It's kinda hard to say what the trigger really was She went out for cigarettes, ended up on a bus Headed somewhere, didn't really care where it was As long as it was far away from Abilene Feeling overwhelmed, over worked and needing Jesus Hands always gettin' cut from pickin' up the pieces Always gettin' mad, never gettin' even Didn't even tell anyone she was leavin' Abilene Oh no, there she goes Your little honey bee The whole town's 'bout to know She's never gonna be La la la La la la All we could ever really do was speculate What was in her head when she up and hit the interstate Guess the pills didn't help, couldn't kill all the pain And nothing good ever happens anyway in Abilene Around the time that she met him he was out of work And her daddy said you couldn't clean off the dirt Even if you hose him down, put him in a collared shirt Is it really worth all your dreams? Oh no, there she goes Your little honey bee The whole town's 'bout to know She's never gonna be La la la La la la They always say there ain't no place like your home Guess that's the thing that she was counting on (That's the thing) Can't believe she's really gone, really gone (She's really gone, y'all) I gotta say I thought about it but I probably won't ever leave Abilene Ain't ever leaving Abilene
