He's the grandson of the sixth cousin
of a man named Lefty Frizzell.
And he comes from a town called Abilene,
a place we know so well,
where it's slim chance and the survivors
on a sometimes Saturday night.
And we plugged it in with our
new best friends
And we rocked until the broad daylight
Two, three
He had a 1905 Gibson
That Gene Autry might have played
He's got Hollies, chicken, and dumplings
Two young reasons why he can stay
And he's a damn right Republican
He don't see it from both sides
But he'd have voted twice for Lincoln
And he's big on Texas pride
He's a grandson of the sixth cousin
Of a man named Republican Brazil
And he comes from a place called Abilene
A town we know so well
We're a slim chance in the survivors
On a sometimes Saturday night
Where we plugged it in with
our new best friends
And we rocked until the broad daylight

And he's ridin' on the old tracks
with Barry on the bass
And it's Johnny back
from Van and Bonnie
with a guitar in your face
And it's Lane Bishop and Texas
John and me just chuggin' along
Well, it's the 45th class reunion,
boy, and it's about we've
been reborn.

Get quiet boys
Here's to Knoxville,
here's to Nashville
Headin' a little down south
Here's to a whole lot of shakin'
and a heart's beat breakin'
And a judge sayin' shut thy mouth
Here's to Claudette, here's to Susie
Texas women and their inspiration
If it was all aboard in Memphis, boys
The train just pulled in the station
He's the grandson of the sixth cousin
Of the man named Lefty Mazet
And he comes from a town called Abilene
A place we know so well
Where it's a slim chance
in the Survivors
Only sometimes Saturday night
And we plugged it in with
our new best friend,
and we rocked until the break dawn.
