lyrics

Oh, Abilene
I keep wriing for the cause, though I fear it’s lost
Oh, Abilene
One day I’ll seek the chance to resurrect my past
All your living, dying, hoping, crying all the world
All the world they left behind
So I’m living, dying, hoping, crying all the world
All the world I’ve left behind

Hey babe, you’re walking tall, you’re going far
Did you need somebody, did you feed somebody?
Now that you’re on your on your own, are you alone?
Or have your finally found yourself?

Oh, Abilene
Today’s society makes me cry, I'd rather watch it die
Oh, Abilene
What’s happening to our youth?
We’ve grown too old to tell the truth
People living, dying, hoping, crying all the world
All the world has left them behind
So I’m living, dying, hoping, crying all the world
All the world I’ve left behind

Hey babe you’re walking tall, you’re going far
Did you need somebody, did you feed somebody?
Now that you’re on your on your own, are you alone?
Or have your finally found yourself?

I, I read the news today, oh boy
Lennon, Luther, Kennedy’s were shot.
Tell me people that you haven’t forgot!
But with evil leaders' solutions to war
And the implications that Jesus dated a whore
Do you really think that our children are raised right
Or just learning how to put up a fight?

Hey babe I’ll be your man, I’ll take your hand
I’m gonna lead you through the night
But I hope that you will love me too
Because I need you, I need your loving tonight
