kinky friedman - dear abbie lyrics
(kinky friedman)
from a friend of yours in texas
who’s had a little trouble finding love.
i’m considered quite attractive
and i’ve always been quite active at the club.
but the life i lead’s so lonesome
that i wonder, abbie, if you’ve ever known
what it’s like to live in others’ dreams
and never have a dream to call your own.
there’s a divorcee in dallas,
there’s a girl who’s much too young in idaho.
london bridge is falling down
and the clergyman is out of town
and there’s a daughter no one wants in buffalo.
and i’m wondering ¡®bout america,
wondering if we lost more than the war.
i’m just wondering if there’s any silver lining left
behind the golden door.
and dear abbie, abbie i just had to write.
dear abbie, abbie is there any love in sight?
well, the last time that i saw you
you were living at the old chelsea hotel.
even though it’s been a while, h-ll
even now it makes me smile
to think of how you tennis-shoed the bill.
and it seems like only yesterday
you fell off of the sea-saw and you cried
and your daddy lit the fireworks
in the backyard on the fourth day of july.
and dear abbie, abbie i just had to write,
dear abbie, abbie, where are you tonight?
