G# Fm C# A#m (4x)
[Verse 1]
G#
There's a greyhound bus
D#
Leavin' the great Northwest
G#
Takin' her tonight
D#
Back down south to Texas
C#
She's been dancin' on tables
To pay rent and be able
A#m
To just get by and maybe stay clean.
[Chorus]
G# Fm C# A#m
Abilene, Abilene
G# Fm C# A#m
Abilene, Abilene.
[Verse 2]
G#
Well her daddy'd get drunk
D#
Then he'd hit her hard
G#
And her mama'd lie in bed
D#
High on pills and talkin' to God
C#
But like her beautiful tattoos
These old memories she can't lose
A#m
Since she ran away at fifteen.
[Chorus]
G# Fm
Abilene, Abilene

There's a town ahead that you've never seen

Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to

Forget everything

Abilene.
[Verse 3]
G#
Starin' out the window
Fm
At the long cold night
G#
Ahead on the horizon
Fm
Is another string of bright lights
C#
She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet
In a bar on an Austin street
A#m
Maybe this one won't be so mean.
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
G# Fm
In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone
G# Fm
Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for
C#
But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old
Rememberin' every lie he's told
Fm
'Til he changes his mind and he leaves.
[Chorus]

Abilene, Abilene

There's a town ahead that you've never seen
