Abilene On Her Mind Lyrics by Buddy Jewell

One in a Row

2002

[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
