Intro:   B – A – E  

Verse 1:
                E
Well I’ve gotta feelin’   you’re feelin’ it now

I’m headed out for the highway   I ain’t turnin’ around
           A                         E
Across the county line   to clear my head
           E
And in the mornin’   when you wake up alone

You may wonder   if I’ll ever get back home
     A                         E 
Back home   well I’ll get back home

Chorus:
         B                       A
All them good times   but in the meantime
       B                  A                  E
It’s a long ride   to the other side of Abilene

Break:    B – A – E   

Verse 2:
       E
When I crawl out of   this cold motel bed

I know I’ve got to turn back   to see what lies ahead
           A                              E
And it’s a long road   a load I choose to bear
            E
And I’m not afraid to fight   I just wish that I’d had known

So I’ll measure the miles   as I make my way home
     A                         E
Back home   well I’ll get back home   

Chorus:
         B                       A
All them good times   but in the meantime
       B                  A                  E
It’s a long ride   to the other side of Abilene
         B                       A
All them good times   but in the meantime
       B                  A                  E
It’s a long ride   to the other side of Abilene

Break:   B – A – E
