Song about a girl that I used to date, she was famous and toured a lot. I've never been to Abilene, actually, just like the name

lyrics

Feels like I’m going – a little crazy, Everybody knows your name
I haven’t told – anyone, ‘bout how we met that night in the rain
You were waiting – for a taxicab, where no taxi’s ever show
Gave you a ride – in my pickup truck, Asked you where and you just said go…

I keep thinking about you, all night and all day
I’m just hoping that you’re still feeling the same
While you’re playing in Amsterdam, or Nashville, Tennessee
I hope that once in a while you’re thinking of me - I’m here in Abilene…

Saw you again – on the TV, You were somewhere on the road
I’ve just been waiting – here in Abilene, waiting for you to come home
It’s kinda strange – how we left things, I hated to see you walk out the door
It’s been weeks – since I held you, guess it’ll be a few weeks more

So when you tune up in Liverpool, or onstage in Berlin
I hope that you’re still thinking about seeing me again
While you’re out in Los Angeles, or up in Chicago
I got something to tell you that you already know - Back here in Abilene…
