Abilene

I hear there’s an island near Corpus where horses run free

Right now a sunset in Big Bend might be what I need

Down in Galveston where the birds catch the gulf breeze

Or a one bedroom palace on the outskirts of Dallas 

Enough room for my heartache and me

I can’t stay in Abilene

Cause the wind makes me crazy

Memories blowing round on every street

Like petals from a daisy

Down on lonesome highway 90

I’ll be leaving you behind me  

Goodbye, Alejate

I can’t stay in Abilene

One more day

On Friday the cafe will lay out the candles and wine

The couples will dance but your hand won’t be holding mine

If lonely comes calling and I start to roll through your mind

Or my name you whisper just picture a drifter

Looking for love she can’t find

I can’t stay in Abilene

Cause the wind makes me crazy

Memories blowing round on every street

Like petals from a daisy

Down on lonesome highway 90

I’ll be leaving you behind me 

Goodbye, Alejate

I can’t stay in Abilene

Anywhere and nowhere special

Is where you go when you’re heart can’t settle

And God knows I don’t wanna leave

But I can’t stay in Abilene, Oh no

Down on lonesome highway 90

I’ll be leaving you behind me

Goodbye, Alejate

I can’t stay in Abilene

One more day

I can’t stay in Abilene

One more day
