Abilene Lyrics

A cold day in the middle of July

Purple haze lights up the midnight sky

I'm moving towns and moving on

From everything I keep running from

But I will miss our porch conversations

When I'm lost and don't know my next destination

I'll miss telling you the secrets that only an old friend could know

Give me advice for the road

'Cause trouble, trouble, it knows how to find me

As much as I try to just take it easy

Oh, I keep catching fire like a match dropped to gasoline

Abilene

This town took everything but it gave me you

And late nights talking under October moons

A friend to call mine for a lifetime or two

When the world was cruel, you were all I knew

But I will miss our porch conversations

When I'm lost and don't know my next destination

I'll miss telling you the secrets that only an old friend could know

Give me advice for the road

'Cause trouble, trouble, it knows how to find me

As much as I try to just take it easy

Oh, I keep catching fire like a match dropped to gasoline

Abilene

You are all I know

Abilene

You give and I go

Abilene

It's been a hell of a rodeo
