[Chorus]
Abilene Abilene prettiest town that I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene sweet Abilene

[Verse 1]
I sat alone most every night watched the trains pull out of sight
Don't I wish they were carryin' me back to Abilene my Abilene

[Chorus]
Abilene oh Abilene prettiest town that I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene sweet Abilene

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Crowded city there ain't nothing free nothin' in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be back in Abilene sweet Abilene

[Chorus]
Abilene oh Abilene prettiest town that I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene sweet Abilene
Women there don't treat you mean in Abilene my Abilene
