Can't you see I'm holding your flag
  The one that you left on the ground
  Well is the world too heavy for you
  If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it, too
  No one's gonna stand in your light
  Impressions are easy to fight
  But until you turn to me and say
  You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay o
    [CHORUS:]
  Abilene
  Bring it on home to me
  Abilene
    Isn't it good to be free o
  Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt
  The one with the heart on the sleeve
  Everyone can see you've been hurt
  But honey don't give up on me
  When you gonna make up your mind
  When you gonna get out of bed
  Well everyday you're gonna find
  Broken promises are no worse than words never said
    [CHORUS]
    Then you want someone to come along and save the day
  Well you make it much too hard
    [CHORUS]
