Abilene Songtext

While you were nodding off to sleep,

And I stopped off to take a leak,

When I got tired of hearing you dream

Of every crappy movie that you've ever seen.



It coulda been free.

It would have been beautiful.



Well I can't help it if you never got to California.

But you kept fogging up the windows, I shoulda warned ya
Not to kiss that boy in Abilene.



We haven't had a thing to eat in nearly almost half a week

And I've been sleeping on my feet,

Trying to bum a dollar on an empty street.



Well I'll be sure to say "Hello" to Squeaky From and Jackie O.

Listening to ELO, the Eagles and the best of Barry Manilow.

It coulda been me. It could've been beautiful.

It coulda been me. It could've been beautiful.



Well I can't help it if you never got to California.

But you kept fogging up the window, I shoulda warned ya

Not to kiss that boy in Abilene.



Well I can't help it if you never got to California.

But you kept fogging up the window, I shoulda warned ya

Not to kiss that boy in Abilene.
