I am gazing at a billboard sign
Driving down the highway
I am looking for a road
I should have taken long ago
She was going where I should have gone
Dreaming of a future
on a dusty piece of land
another world from here
Abilene- The bluest eyes I’ve ever seen
Abilene- Paradise in faded jeans
Hair like golden wheat
Kisses warm and sweet
Abilene
I was gonna hit the big time
I was hungry for the limelight
I was wearing out my leather
walking 16th Avenue
Now I’m sleeping in my pickup truck
and washing plates to make a buck
And reading an old letter signed
“Wishin’ you were here”
Abilene- The bluest eyes I’ve ever seen
Abilene- Paradise in faded jeans
Hair like golden wheat
Kisses warm and sweet
Abilene
I’ve got to get back to the girl I left behind
I need to hold her close and tell her that I wanna make her mine
I can hear a voice calling
Like an the echo of the early morning
Ringing through the telephone lines
Haunting my mind
And in that whisper of a voice
I hear a message coming loud and clear
leading me back home
and I’m never gonna leave
Abilene- The bluest eyes I’ve ever seen
Abilene- Paradise in faded jeans
Hair like golden wheat
Kisses warm and sweet
Abilene
