Keep Abilene Beautiful

Keep Abilene Beautiful - Carlton Anderson

Lyrics by：Carlton Anderson/Tom Douglas/Tony Lane

Composed by：Carlton Anderson/Tom Douglas/Tony Lane

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

On my radio Conway's singing goodbye time

In my rearview a disappearing hollywood sign

Keep Abilene beautiful baby

There ain't nothing like you anywhere

Keep Abilene beautiful baby

I'm getting there

I'm getting there

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

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

Keep Abilene beautiful baby

Keep Abilene beautiful

Keep Abilene beautiful baby

There ain't nothing like you anywhere

Keep Abilene beautiful baby

I'm getting there

Woke up at midnight couldn't sleep

There lays a twenty-four hour smile

Making promises it'd never keep
