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 stayAbilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
Isn't it good to be freeCan't you see I'm wearing your shirt
The one with the heart on the sleeve
Now everyone can see you've been hurt
Oh, but, honey don't give up on meWhen you gonna make up your mind
And when you gonna get out of bed
Well, everyday you're gonna find
Broken promises are no worse than words never saidAbilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
You're always giving it all awayThen you want someone
To come along and save the day
But you make it much too hardAbilene
You can bring it home to me
Abilene, ohAbilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
Isn't it good to be free
