Abilene - Dave Alvin[00:00:00]
There's a greyhound bus[00:00:16]
Leavin' the great Northwest[00:00:20]
Takin' her tonight[00:00:24]
Back down south to Texas[00:00:26]
She's been dancing' on tables[00:00:32]
To pay rent and be able[00:00:35]
To just get by and maybe stay clean [00:00:38]
Abilene Abilene[00:00:44]
Abilene Abilene [00:00:51]
Well her daddy'd get drunk[00:00:57]
Then he'd hit her hard[00:01:01]
And her mama'd lie in bed[00:01:04]
High on pills and talkin' to God[00:01:07]
But like her beautiful tattoos[00:01:12]
These old memories she can't lose[00:01:16]
Since she ran away at fifteen [00:01:19]
Abilene Abilene[00:01:24]
There's a town ahead that you've never seen[00:01:29]
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to[00:01:36]
Forget everything[00:01:43]
Abilene [00:01:46]
Starin' out the window[00:01:54]
At the long cold night[00:01:57]
Ahead on the horizon[00:02:00]
Is another string of bright lights[00:02:03]
She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet[00:02:08]
In a bar on an Austin street[00:02:12]
Maybe this one won't be so mean [00:02:15]
Abilene Abilene[00:02:20]
There's a town ahead that you've never seen[00:02:25]
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to[00:02:32]
Forget everything[00:02:38]
Abilene [00:02:42]
In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone[00:03:16]
Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for[00:03:23]
But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old[00:03:31]
Rememberin' every lie he's told[00:03:34]
Til he changes his mind and he leaves [00:03:38]
Abilene Abilene[00:03:43]
There's a town ahead that you've never seen[00:03:47]
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to[00:03:54]
Forget everything[00:04:01]
Abilene Abilene[00:04:04]
Oh Abilene Abilene[00:04:10]
