Meanwhile Back In Abilene Lyrics by Roger Miller

Meanwhile Back In Abilene Lyrics

    Released on

    Movin' all around, movin' all around
    Won't you settle down in this old town
    On the move, honey that's my groove
    Travel everywhere, breathing in the air
    I don't have a care
    In this old world
    And i feel fine, everything is mine

    Meanwhile back in abilene the sun is coming up
    And the milkman's making all the rounds he made when i was just a pup
    Barbershop will open up and jacksons drugstore too
    And they'll talk about this poor young wandering fool

    Taking in the sights, see the city lights
    Smiling at the girls and being cool
    Having fun, my life has just begun
    Fishing in the stream with a piece of string
    All i catch is turles and old boots
    And i don't mind, 'cos i'm feeling fine

    Meanwhile back in abilene the sun is going down
    And the drive-in restaurants the only place to go to hear a sound
    Drive-in crowd know each and every one by their first name
    And they'll talk about me, wonder if i've changed

    Movin' all around, movin' all around
    Won't you settle down in this old town
    On the move, honey that's my groove
    Travel everywhere, breathing in the air
    I don't have a care
    In this old world
    And i feel fine, everything is mine

    Taking in the sights, see the city lights
    Smiling at the girls and being cool
    Having fun, my life has just begun
    Fishing in the stream with a piece of string
    All i catch is turtles and old boots
    And i don't mind, 'cos i'm feeling fine
