Calico Plains |
| Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky |
| Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes |
| She said, «;I feel like a bird in a cage |
| But come September I’m flying away»; |
| I said, «;I'm gonna miss you»; |
| then I made her promise to write |
| Since we were tall as the corn in the spring |
| We shared every secret, shared every dream |
| So anxious to grow in the new summer rain |
| And bloom like a rose on the calico plains |
| How could she hear as we laughed on that warm summer night |
| The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside |
| I stood beside her when September came |
| Watched her get married and caught the bouquet |
| And like those hand me down dresses she gave me |
| I made her dreams mine |
| From a seat by the window on wings made of steel |
| I stared at the patchwork over the fields |
| Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain |
| Were turning to snow on the calico plains |
| Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky |
| Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes |
