Abilene On Her Mind Lyrics - Singles - Buddy Jewell

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 curb 

Too many empty nights alone, too late I realize 

It's a crying shame it took her tears 

To open up my eyes 

I 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 mind 

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 a hand lay on my shoulder 

Turned around and found her standing 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 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 blind 

I should have seen Abeline, on her mind 

I should have seen Abeline, on her mind 

Abeline, on her mind
