Abilene On Her Mind

She said her mind was made up

As she put on her make-up

Said there was nothing here for her

She just packed up her suitcase

And she walked right out that from gate

With her taxi waiting at the curb

Too many empty nights alone, too late I realize

It's a crying shame it took her tears

To open up my eyes

I should have seen, Abeline, on her mind

Her leaving me and Tennessee, far behind

Should have seen her growing lonely all alone there waiting on me

All the warning sings were there, but I was blind

I should have seen Abeline, on her mind

Last night the band played Dallas

I sang the song I wrote about us

You could feel the sadness in the air

And after the show was over, I felt a hand lay on my shoulder

Turned around and found her standing there

She said after all these years

It's nice to know your dreams came true

And the wedding band there on her hand

Told me that hers had to

I should have seen, Abeline, on her mind

Her leaving me, Tennessee, far behind

Should have seen her growing' lonely all alone there waiting' on me

All the warning' sings were there, but I was blind

I should have seen Abeline, on her mind

I should have seen Abeline, on her mind

Abeline, on her mind
