Dear Abbie<br>

<br>

(Kinky Friedman)<br>

<br>

>From a friend of yours in Texas<br>

Who’s had a little trouble finding love.<br>

I’m considered quite attractive<br>

And I’ve always been quite active at the club.<br>

But the life I lead’s so lonesome<br>

That I wonder, Abbie, if you’ve ever known<br>

What it’s like to live in others’ dreams<br>

And never have a dream to call your own.<br>

There’s a divorcee in Dallas,<br>

There’s a girl who’s much too young in Idaho.<br>

London Bridge is falling down<br>

And the clergyman is out of town<br>

And there’s a daughter no one wants in Buffalo.<br>

And I’m wondering ‘bout America,<br>

Wondering if we lost more than the war.<br>

I’m just wondering if there’s any silver lining left<br>

Behind the golden door.<br>

<br>

And dear Abbie, Abbie I just had to write.<br>

Dear Abbie, Abbie is there any love in sight ?<br>

<br>

Well, the last time that I saw you<br>

You were living at the old Chelsea Hotel.<br>

Even though it’s been a while, hell<br>

Even now it makes me smile<br>

To think of how you tennis-shoed the bill.<br>

And it seems like only yesterday<br>

You fell off of the sea-saw and you cried<br>

And your daddy lit the fireworks<br>

In the backyard on the fourth day of July.<br>

<br>

And dear Abbie, Abbie I just had to write,<br>

Dear Abbie, Abbie, where are you tonight ?<br>

<br>
