As the sun went down, it was so serene
I fell asleep on coffee and nicotine
I never thought I would relax
I'd burn every single bridge
To make sure that I never go back
If you promise to get me out of Abilene
The West Texas sun seems to get hotter every day
I'm alright with that if they let me on my way
The more time I spend out here on my own
The more I want to be headed West, headed home
If you promise to get me out of Abilene
All the years of booze and smoke have led to this
I'm alright with that ‘cause it is what it is
That train left the station a long time ago
I won't trade any of the times I had on board you know
If you promise to get me out of Abilene
