Abilene

Sorry all you people in Abilene, I think this is the cheesiest lyrics I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen.
Folks down there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene


According to Wikipedia
George Hamilton IV had a hit with the song in the early 1960’s, so I guess one could blame the cheesy lyrics on just being more 40 years old. But still, Abilene is not the prettiest town I ever seen. Texas has prettier towns than that. For example my old uni town San Angelo. As the saying goes - Once a Texan always a Texan...
