Meanwhile Back In Abilene Lyrics - Roger Miller

Movin' all around movin' all around won't you settle down in this old town 

On the move honey that's my groove travel everywhere breathing in the air 

I don't have a care in this old world and I feel fine everything is mine 

Meanwhile back in Abilene the sun is coming up 

And the milkman's making all the rounds he made when I was just a pup 

Barbershop will open up and Jacksons drugstore too 

And they'll talk about this poor young wandering fool 

Taking in the sights see the city lights smiling at the girls and being cool 

Having fun my life has just begun fishing in the stream with a piece of string 

All I catch is turles and old boots and I don't mind cos I'm feeling fine 

Meanwhile back in Abilene the sun is going down 

And the drive-in restaurants the only place to go to hear a sound 

Drive-in crowd know each and every one by their first name 

And they'll talk about me wonder if I've changed 

Movin' all around movin' all around won't you settle down in this old town 

On the move honey that's my groove travel everywhere breathing in the air 

I don't have a care in this old world and I feel fine everything is mine 

Taking in the sights...
