[Verse 1]
DThumbing through some magaAzines
Colored panoramic Bmscenes of destinations
GUnderneath the AGreyhound station Dsign
The world is changing all the Atime
Nothing ever changed inBmside of my apartment
'Cept for Gfaded walls and Aweathered carpet
[Chorus 1]
And BmI’ll be thirty-one with the Grising of the sun
BmThirty years is long enough to Adream
St AbiDlene watch over Ame
Keep me Bmsafe, make me strong, help me Gsee
DMay you keep me Acompany when Bmcompany I Gneed
Watch over Dme ASt. AbiDlene
[Verse 2]
DI’ve seen them come and I’Ave seen them go
And all I’ve ever Bmhad to show for my existence
GAre the fair-thAee-wells and I’ll Dbe missing you’s
But I don’t think they really Ado
Fading out into the blue Bmand white horizon
Must be noGthing short of mAystifying
[Chorus 2]
I’ll Bmbe thirty-one with the risiGng of the sun
BmRiding on the western bound macAhine
St. AbDilene, watch oveAr me
Keep me Bmsafe, make me strong, help me Gsee
DMay you keep me Acompany when Bmcompany I Gneed
St. AbileneD. WAatch ovDer me, St. Abilene
