Lyrics

We don’t need to talk about Abilene
Cause Abilene don’t mean
No coffee shop, no liquor store
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more

Young lovers like to dream
We’ll settle down and we’ll make a good team
Well Main Street was cute and
the rents there were cheap
But I was too much for you and for your Abilene

We don’t need to talk about Abilene
Cause Abilene don’t mean
No couple acres, no screened in porch
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more

I remember the air when I drove out of town
Crying on the highway with my windows down
I’da stayed there forever, till death do us part
Texas in my rearview, Plains in my heart
Couldn’t hold it together when Abilene fell apart

We don’t need to talk about Abilene
Cause Abilene don’t mean
No turning the garden, no toys on the floor
So I don’t talk about Abilene no more

We don’t need to talk about Abilene
Cause Abilene don’t mean
No life that we’re building, no weathering storms
That’s why I don’t talk about Abilene no more
That’s why I don’t talk about Abilene no more

now this good country music reminds me of the chicks and indie folk music from the 90s . Its beautiful and simple yet so deep and soulful also so nostalgic

[lanemccullough]

Like their music. I've watched a couple of their videos from this album. I like that they chose real West Texas and Northwest Texas locations for their backdrops. You can really get the sense of motivation from the visuals. There are some bleak places in Texas y'all. I've driven through every part of my state. Seen the beauty and the ugly. Appreciate what their doing here.

[timnussbaum]

My husband and I named our kids after places in Texas. Hes from texas and misses it so much. We named our daughter (youngest)Abilene. Our oldest son James and our other son Austin. It just kind of happened that way for us

[chocolatefrogs]

Man, this song on headphones takes you places.

[tonyberry]

I spent the first 42 years of my life there. This song grabs the atmosphere perfectly. There is a sadness in the triumph of putting it in the rear view mirror. This is beautiful. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[quinnqian]

Beautiful song and video. I love yal sitting and singing among the life of the couple, like a greek chorus. Looking forward to the album.

Abilene is my hometown and currently living in it. This just speaks volumes in its message and confirms where I’m going in my life. 💖

Beautiful. Music of the West. This video and song capture something everyone has felt from Abilene to Yucaipa, Alamosa to Yuma.
