Abilene On Her Mind
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,
And she walked right out that fromt gate,
With her taxi waiting at the curb,
Too many empyty nights alone,
Too late I realize,
It's a cryin shame it took her tears,
To open up my eyes,
I should have seen, Abeline,
On her mind,
Her leavin me, and Tennessee,
Far behind,
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
All alone there waitin' on me,
All the warnin' sings were there,
But I was blind,
I should have seen Abeline,
On her mind,
Last night the band played Dallas,
I sang the song I wrote about us,
And you could feel the sadness in the air,
After the show was over,
I a hand lay on my shoulder,
Turned around and found her standin' there,
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 to,
I should have seen, Abeline,
On her mind,
Her leavin me, and Tennessee,
Far behind,
Should have seen her growin' lonely,
All alone there waitin' on me,
All the warnin' sings were there,
But I was blind,
I should have seen Abeline,
On her mind,
I should have seen Abeline,
On her mind,
Abeline,
On her mind
Abilene na Cabeça
Ela disse que já tinha decidido,
Enquanto se maquiava,
Disse que não tinha nada aqui pra ela,
Só fez as malas e partiu,
E saiu pela porta da frente,
Com o táxi esperando na calçada,
Muitas noites vazias sozinha,
Tarde demais pra perceber,
É uma pena que foram suas lágrimas,
Que abriram meus olhos,
Eu deveria ter visto, Abilene,
Na cabeça dela,
Ela me deixando, e o Tennessee,
Pra trás,
Deveria ter visto ela crescendo sozinha,
Esperando por mim,
Todos os sinais de alerta estavam lá,
Mas eu estava cego,
Eu deveria ter visto Abilene,
Na cabeça dela,
Na noite passada a banda tocou em Dallas,
Eu cantei a canção que escrevi sobre nós,
E dava pra sentir a tristeza no ar,
Depois que o show acabou,
Uma mão pousou no meu ombro,
Me virei e a encontrei ali,
Ela disse que depois de todos esses anos,
É bom saber que seus sonhos se realizaram,
E a aliança de casamento na mão dela,
Me disse que a dela também,
Eu deveria ter visto, Abilene,
Na cabeça dela,
Ela me deixando, e o Tennessee,
Pra trás,
Deveria ter visto ela crescendo sozinha,
Esperando por mim,
Todos os sinais de alerta estavam lá,
Mas eu estava cego,
Eu deveria ter visto Abilene,
Na cabeça dela,
Eu deveria ter visto Abilene,
Na cabeça dela,
Abilene,
Na cabeça dela.
