"Queen Of Abilene" lyrics
She's the queen of Abilene
Don't let her fool you now
You coulda walked right by her
'Cause she never wears her crown
You'll find her with the lonely ones
Who need another chance
She reaches out to touch us
We find healing in her hands
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
(Of Abilene, of Abilene, she's the queen of Abilene, of Abilene)
She's the queen of Abilene
She been all around the globe
But wherever she is right now
That's the place she loves the most
Nigeria to Jacksonville
To good ol' Tennessee
So many are her children
Boys and girls like you and me
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
Her daddy is an angel carved
In stone upon the plains
And as he climbs his ladder
You'll hear him singing this refrain
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
She's the first to come and last to leave
If you're out of faith, then she'll help you believe
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
(Of Abilene, of Abilene, she's the queen of Abilene, of Abilene)
(She's the queen of Abilene)
Don't let her fool you now
You coulda walked right by her
'Cause she never wears her crown
You'll find her with the lonely ones
Who need another chance
She reaches out to touch us
We find healing in her hands
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
(Of Abilene, of Abilene, she's the queen of Abilene, of Abilene)
She's the queen of Abilene
She been all around the globe
But wherever she is right now
That's the place she loves the most
Nigeria to Jacksonville
To good ol' Tennessee
So many are her children
Boys and girls like you and me
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
Her daddy is an angel carved
In stone upon the plains
And as he climbs his ladder
You'll hear him singing this refrain
She is like the rest of us, and yet somehow the best of us
When it seems there's nothing left of us, she gathers up our pieces
She is all you've heard and more, she's won, but never keeping score
Walk right through her open door and you'll learn what a feast is
She's the first to come and last to leave
If you're out of faith, then she'll help you believe
Knowing her is sweeter than a dream
She's the queen of Abilene
(Of Abilene, of Abilene, she's the queen of Abilene, of Abilene)
(She's the queen of Abilene)
