Me and the boys making plenty of noise
Singing our way across the states
Drinking and loving, and a whole lot of nothing
To do between dates
I got to thinking, ‘bout my girl, she’s living
In good old Taylor County
A prairie jewel, for this guitar picking fool
Just off Interstate Twenty...down in Abilene
(Chorus)
Achin’ for Abilene
Rolling through towns like a tumbleweed
The perfect remedy
Feel like a Texas star in a limousine
Playing my song
Living my dream
Achin’ for Abilene
Can’t wait to go back, past the old RR track
About ten miles from Phantom Hill
There’s a big old home we can call our own
Empty rooms for love to fill
`Cause wouldn’t you know it, this cowboy poet
Needs the world to let him be,
Her long black hair, and that sweet Texas air,
It’s like hitting the Lottery...
....down in Abilene...
