Abilene
Wistful Dreams of Abilene's Sweet Charm
Lyrics
Abilene, Abilene
Expressing admiration for Abilene, considering it the prettiest town.
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Reiterating the beauty of Abilene.
Women there don't treat you mean
Highlighting the positive treatment of women in Abilene.
In Abilene, my Abilene
Affectionate reference to Abilene.
I sit alone most every night
Expressing solitude and yearning, possibly missing Abilene.
Watch those trains roll out of sight
Observing departing trains, symbolizing a desire to leave the current location.
Wish that they were carryin' me
Expressing a wish to be on those trains heading back to Abilene.
Back to Abilene, my Abilene
Longing to return to Abilene.
Abilene, Abilene
Repeating admiration for Abilene.
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Reiterating the beauty of Abilene.
Women there don't treat you mean
Emphasizing the positive treatment of women in Abilene.
In Abilene, my Abilene
Expressing affection for Abilene.
Crowded city, there ain't nothin' free
Contrasting a crowded city where nothing is free with the appeal of Abilene.
Nothin' in this town for me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current location.
Wish to the lord that I could be
Expressing a desire to be in Abilene, emphasizing the lack of fulfillment in the current place.
In Abilene, sweet Abilene
Reiterating the wish to be in Abilene.
Abilene, Abilene
Repeating admiration for Abilene.
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Reiterating the beauty of Abilene.
Women there don't treat you mean
Emphasizing the positive treatment of women in Abilene.
In Abilene, my Abilene
Affectionate reference to Abilene.
Women there don't treat you mean
Reiterating the positive treatment of women in Abilene.
In Abilene, my Abilene
Affirming the positive atmosphere in Abilene.
