A cold day in the middle of July
Purple haze lights up the midnight sky
I'm moving towns and moving on
From everything I keep running from
But I will miss our porch conversations
When I'm lost and don't know my next destination
I'll miss telling you [A7] the secrets that only an old friend could know
Give me advice for [Dm7] the ɾoad
'Cause tɾouble, tɾouble, it knows how to [C7] find me
As much as I tɾy to [C7] just take it easy
Oh, I keep catching fire like [F] a match dropped to [C7] gasoline
Abilene
This town took everything but it gave me you
And late nights talking under October moons
A friend to [C7] call [Em] mine for [Dm7] a lifetime or two
When the world was [Am7] cruel, you [A7] were all [Em] I knew
But I will miss our porch conversations
When I'm lost and [Bm] don't know my [A] next destination
I'll miss telling you [A7] the secrets that only an old friend could know
Give me advice for [Dm7] the ɾoad
'Cause tɾouble, tɾouble, it knows how to [C7] find me
As much as I tɾy to [C7] just take it easy
Oh, I keep catching fire like [F] a match dropped to [C7] gasoline
Abilene
You are all [Em] I know
Abilene
You give and [Bm] I go
Abilene
It's been a hell of a ɾodeo
