Keep Abilene Beautiful

[Verse 1]
Woke up at midnight, couldn't sleep
There lays a twenty-four hour smile
Making promises it'd never keep
Texas is so flat, had to see
If the world was round
Girl, you got roots 'neath your boots
That go a hundred years down

[Pre-Chorus]
On my radio, Conway's singing "Goodbye Time"
In my rearview, a disappearing Hollywood sign

[Chorus]
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
There ain't nothing like you anywhere
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
I'm getting there
I'm getting there

[Verse 2]
These wheels got at least
Another thousand miles to go
For a taste, your red wine kisses ain't
Slow-dancing to the stereo
I've seen the city lights
Felt the California sand
But it ain't nothing like
Getting back to you
From where I am

[Chorus]
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
There ain't nothing like you anywhere
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
I'm getting there
I'm getting there
(Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
Keep Abilene beautiful

[Chorus]
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
There ain't nothing like you anywhere
Keep Abilene beautiful, baby
I'm getting there
I'm getting there

[Outro]
Woke up at midnight, couldn't sleep
There lays a twenty-four hour smile
Making promises it'd never keep
