Well, I've got a feelin' you're feelin' it now I'm headed out for the highway, I ain't turnin' around Across the county line to clear my head And in the mornin' when you wake up alone You may wonder if I'll ever get back home Back home, well I'll get back home All in good time, but in the meantime It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene When I crawled out of this cold motel bed I know I've got to turn back to see what lies ahead And it's a long road, with a load I choose to bear And I'm not afraid to fight, I just wish that I had known So I'll measure the miles as I make my way home Back home, well I'll get back home All in good time, but in the meantime It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene All in good time, but in the meantime It's a long ride to the other side of Abilene
