Abilene

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Feelin' overwhelmed, overworked and needin' Jesus Hands always gettin' cut from pickin' up the pieces Always gettin' mad and never gettin' even Didn't even tell anyone she was leavin' Abilеne [Chorus] Oh, no, there shе goes Your little honey bee The whole town's 'bout to know She's never gonna be la-la-la, la-la-la [Verse 3] All we could ever really do is 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 [Verse 4] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] They always say there's ain't no place like your home Guess that's the thing she was countin' 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 leavin' Abilene
