Oh Abilene, inside of me
Misunderstood and cruel
My casual self betrays
My point of view

Well and I can see
For miles and miles
But I can never
Call your name

Oh Abilene...
Too many sunny skies

I’ll leave this town
I forget your skin
I forget your name
And everything

But you let me down
Left me hanging around
Like some strange fruit
From a tree

I’m afraid to sleep
Afraid to walk these streets
For the day they find me out
There’s no sympathy
For one’s like me allowed

And never more
You’ll hear regretsÊ
You were never
Comprised

Oh and Abilene, to many sunny skies
Oh and Abilene, to many sunny skies
