On the way home to Abilene Dinner is on the stove And it's been so long Since you've felt much colder And sometimes it seems such a waste But you know you do it anyway And it's been so long since you've felt much colder It's falling apart at the seams And I think I can see What all this means The winters now seem much colder Almost like they did back then And did my family receive all my letters And do they read them every now and then It's falling apart at the seams And I think I can see What all this will mean
