Lyrics
I was on the east coast, life was crazy
You keep everything you take, but I?m lazy
I?m going back, to where they all know me
Abilene
Take the world with a grain of salt
You don?t get nothing for free
Abilene
It?s really no ones fault
It just wasn?t for me
Heading for the sidelines for a breather
I found success is just a teaser
The more you have, the more you need
Abilene
Anyway the four winds blow
You sit waiting for me
Abilene
A place where time moves so slow
In gentle harmony
Guess you could say that I just ran away
But there?s so much more to it than that
I want to get back
Before I have a heart attack
Back to the things that I miss
