Verse 1
C There's a greyhound bus G Leavin' the great Northwest C Takin' her tonight G Back down south to Texas F She's been dancin' on tables To pay rent and be able Dm To just get by and maybe stay clean.
Chorus
C Am F Dm Abilene, Abilene C Am F Dm Abilene, Abilene.
Verse 2
C Well her daddy'd get drunk G Then he'd hit her hard C And her mama'd lie in bed G High on pills and talkin' to God F But like her beautiful tattoos These old memories she can't lose Dm Since she ran away at fifteen.
Chorus
C Am Abilene, Abilene F Dm C Am There's a town ahead that you've never seen F Dm F Dm Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to F F Forget everything C Am F Dm Abilene.
Verse 3
C Starin' out the window Am At the long cold night C Ahead on the horizon Am Is another string of bright lights F She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet In a bar on an Austin street Dm Maybe this one won't be so mean.
Chorus
C Am Abilene, Abilene F Dm C Am There's a town ahead that you've never seen F Dm F Dm Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to F F Forget everything C Am F Dm Abilene.

Verse 4
C Am In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone C Am Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for F But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old Rememberin' every lie he's told Am 'Til he changes his mind and he leaves.
Chorus
C Am Abilene, Abilene F Dm C Am There's a town ahead that you've never seen F Dm F Dm Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to F F Forget everything C Am F Dm Abilene.
