oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
I wish that man was me
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
what happened to the southern drawl?
you picked up from you ma and pa?
and now you're coming for me
with your bare feet all washed clean
I asked you where your mother was
'said killed my daddy just because
I'm ready for your simple needs
we're walking barefoot down the street
now I've found
what this sweet life is sposed to be
we put our feet across the threshold
and we walked hand in hand
won't you come away to the promised land?
I went on down to the cellar
to shoot my poor ole dog yeller
but baby couldn't do the job
I lost my dog in vietnam
what happened to the good ole days?
when you knew who was & wasn't saved
I'm talkin out my broken jaw
but whatever cuz I loved you more
than all these notes could ever hope
to bend and bleet
now I've found
what this sweet life was sposed to...
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
one day you'll understand
it wasn't me
it's worse
I loved you more than
you were ever worth
and all the history books
one day they will say
I wanted to love you
you were in my way
I wanted to love you
you were in my way
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
one day you'll understand
it wasn't me
it's worse
I loved you more than
you were ever worth
one day you'll understand
it didn't matter...
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
I wish that man was me
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
'body else
'body else...
