Well I served 10 years hard daily work
Working down on the breeders and fall
And the nights were cold and lonely
And wind coming howling out
And the judge he failed to tell me
Until this empty eye to eye
But when I busted the pen
And all the touch turned
Now I'm breaking much doing my time
Well Abilene
I never seen a town so mean
Abilene
Look at me and gonna follow you dreams
I'm gonna wish I never
I wish I never
I wish I never seen
Abilene
Well it was down in Abilene
Well I've been riding night and day
When I stopped for a drink whiskey
And I got in for the day
Well I was drunk and I lost my temper
When someone called me a lying cheater
Well when he pulled down a knife he followed me outside
And I shot him down in the street
Well Abilene
I never seen a town so mean
Abilene
You and me gonna fight for dreams
I'm gonna wish I never
I wish I never
I wish I never seen
Abilene
Well Abilene
I never seen a town so mean
Abilene
You and me gonna fight for dreams
I'm gonna wish I never
I wish I never
I wish I never seen
Abilene
Well Abilene
You're the meanest town I've seen
Abilene
You and me gonna fight for dreams
I'm gonna wish I never
I wish I never
I wish I never seen
Abilene
Abilene
Abilene
I wish I never
I wish I never seen
Abilene
