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 from gate
With her taxi waiting at the curbToo many empty nights alone, too late I realize
It's a crying shame it took her tears
To open up my eyesI should have seen, Abeline, on her mind
Her leaving me and Tennessee, far behind
Should have seen her growing lonely all alone there waiting on me
All the warning sings were there, but I was blind
I should have seen Abeline, on her mindLast 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 a hand lay on my shoulder
Turned around and found her standing thereShe 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 toI should have seen, Abeline, on her mind
Her leaving me, Tennessee, far behind
Should have seen her growing' lonely all alone there waiting' on me
All the warning' sings were there, but I was blindI should have seen Abeline, on her mind
I should have seen Abeline, on her mind
Abeline, on her mind
