Abilene On Her Mind

[Verse 1] 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 She walked right out that front gate With her taxi waiting at the curb [Verse 2] Too many empty nights alone Too late I realize It's a crying shame It took her tears To open up my eyes [Chorus] I should've seen Abilene on her mind Her leaving me and Tennessee far behind Should've seen her growing lonely All alone there waiting on me All the warning signs were there but I was blind I should've seen Abilene on her mind [Verse 3] 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 the hand there on my shoulder Turned around and found her standing there [Verse 4] 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 too [Chorus] Well I should've seen Abilene on her mind Her leaving me and Tennessee far behind Should've seen her growing lonely All alone there waiting on me All the warning signs were there but I was blind I should've seen Abilene on her mind [Tag] I should've seen Abilene on her mind Abilene on her mind
