Babe can't you see
I'm holding your flag?
The one that you left
on the ground
Well is the world
too heavy for you?
And if it makes you feel
better I'll carry it too
'Cause no-one's gonna
stand in your light
impressions are
easy to fight
But until you
turn to me and say
you don't need anyone
to carry the weight
I will stay
Abilene
bring it on home to me
Abilene
isn't it good to be free?
Babe can't you see
I'm wearing your shirt?
The one with the heart
on the sleeves
Now everyone can see
you've been hurt
oh but honey
don't give up on me
Oh when you gonna
make up your mind?
And when you gonna
get out of bed?
But every day
you're gonna find
broken promises are
no worse than
words never said
Abilene
bring it on home to me
Abilene
you're always giving
it all away
Then you want someone
to come along
and save the day
but you make it
much too hard
Abilene
you can bring it
home to me
Abilene
oooh
Abilene
bring it on home to me
Abilene
isn't it good to be free?
