The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash The Pride of Abilene Left my dream of California for the pride of Abilene Comin' home to you across these lonely miles between Drivin' on trying to make some time I've been away too long and the radio plays your favorite song I was here before this life and I'll be here when I'm gone A wonderin' wind blowin' Through these canyons of stone the mansions of the moon Nor the dungeons of the sea Could ever steal your love from me I've seen the Painted Desert and the land of the Midnight Sun of all the beauty in this world Your stille the greatest one It won't be long now honey till i hold you in my arms You can close your eyes and I'll play your favorite song
