Well I've got a feelin' you're feelin' it now
I'm headed out for the highway, I ain't turnin' around
Across the county line to clear my head
And in the mornin' when you wake up alone
You may wonder if I'll ever get back home
Back home, well I'll get back home
All in good time but in the meantime
It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene
When I crawl out of this cold motel bed
I know I've got to turn back to see what lies ahead
And it's a long road, a load I choose to bear
And I'm not afraid to fight, I just wish that I had known
So I'll measure the miles as I make my way home
Back home, well I'll get back home
All in good time but in the meantime
It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene
All in good time but in the meantime
It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene
