Abilene

Keep my cash in the floorboards
And cherish the time
You made me a map
So I could find what’s mine

They tell me that I look like my mama now
Don’t think I’d change and I wouldn’t know how
Buried treasure and a willow tree
When we were
Back in Abilene

I got the crystal
And Brother got the guns
Both a little mixed-up
But it’s somethin’ to own
Wish we could go back and never leave
That change of scene changed everything
Pearl necklace and your wedding ring
Left for me
Back in Abilene

Dig my hands in the earth
Where tangled roots run
Desperate for a landline
And a clear way home

I got your memory and it’s got me
But it don’t fill up where you should be
Marsalis Drive and your alleyway
Can’t take me back
Back to Abilene
