Abilene

As the sun went down, it was so serene
 I fell asleep on coffee and nicotine
 I never thought I would relax
 I'd burn every single bridge
 To make sure that I never go back
 If you promise to get me out of Abilene
 The West Texas sun seems to get hotter every day
 I'm alright with that if they let me on my way
 The more time I spend out here on my own
 The more I want to be headed West, headed home
 If you promise to get me out of Abilene
 All the years of booze and smoke have led to this
 I'm alright with that 'cause "it is what it is"
 That train left the station a long time ago
 I won't trade any of the times I had on board you know
 If you promise to get me out of Abilene
