Abilene On Her Mind

G  Em  C  D

[Verse 1]
G
She said her mind was made up,
Em
As she put on her makeup,
Am                               D
Said there was nothin' here for her.
G
She just packed up her suitcase,
Em
And she walked right out that front 
gate
Am                            D
With her taxi waitin' at the curb.

[Verse 2]
Am                             
Too many empty nights alone, too 
   D
late I realized.
Am                            
It's a cryin' shame it took her 
           C            D
tears to open up my eyes...

[Chorus]
       G            Em9         
- I should've seen Abilene on her 
   Cadd9     D
mind.

G                     Em9        
Her leavin' me and Tennessee far 
   Am     D
behind.
 Am
Should've seen her growin' lonely,
      F
All alone and waitin' on me.
         Am                        
All the warnin' signs were there 
         D
but I was blind.
             Am      D        
I should've seen Abilene on her 
   G
mind...  -

[Verse 3]
G
Last night the Band played Dallas
Em
I sang a song I wrote about us
Am                                
And you could feel the sadness in 
    D
the air
G
After the show was over
Em
I felt a hand there on my shoulder
Am                                
Turned around and found her 
      D
standin' there
          Am
She said after all these years
             D
Its nice to know your dreams came 
true
          Am                    
And the wedding band on her hand 
              C         D
told me that hers had too

             Am      D
