[Chorus]
    D             G             D
We don’t need to talk about Abilene
      D   G           D
Cause Abilene don’t mean
    D       A       D       G
No coffee shop, no liquor store
      D           A     G         D
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more
 
 
[Verse 1]
D      G                D
Young lovers like to dream
 D            G              D
We’ll settle down and we’ll make a good team
       D              A            D                  G
Well Main Street was cute and the rents there were cheap
           D            A            G      D
But I was too much for you and for your Abilene
 
 
[Chorus]
    D             G             D
We don’t need to talk about Abilene
      D   G           D
Cause Abilene don’t mean
     D    A            D         G
No couple acres, no screened in porch
      D           A     G         D
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more

[Verse 2]
     D          G           D
I remember the air when I drove out of town
 D             G            D
Crying on the highway with my windows down
       D             A            D          G
I’da stayed there forever, till death do us part
 D            A          D           G
Texas in my rearview, Plains in my heart
          D         A              G          D
Couldn’t hold it together when Abilene fell apart
 
 
[Chorus]
    D             G             D
We don’t need to talk about Abilene
      D   G           D
Cause Abilene don’t mean
    D           A          D            G
No turning the garden, no toys on the floor
      D           A     G         D
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more
 
 
[Chorus]
    D             G             D
We don’t need to talk about Abilene
      D   G           D
Cause Abilene don’t mean
    D                A            D          G
No life that we’re building, no weathering storms
              D           A     G         D
That’s why I don’t talk about Abilene no more
              D           A     G         D
That’s why I don’t talk about Abilene no more
