[00:10.19]
[00:15.52]She only packed enough for an overnight
[00:20.43]She caught the morning bus
[00:22.93]To catch the early train
[00:25.59]That runs just twice a day, up to Abilene
[00:35.63]She wasn’t showing yet, she kept her secret hid
[00:40.35]She didn’t tell the boy, she couldn’t live with it
[00:45.39]It was so hard for her, to make the choice
[00:51.27]She fought a hundred miles, with her inner voice
[00:59.92]And the water runs deep
[01:04.86]In the river of doubt
[01:09.81]And it offers no easy way out
[01:20.90]Her best friend told the boy, what she was gonna do
[01:25.98]The words hit him so hard, it broke his heart in two
[01:30.89]And when he heard the news, he made his tires scream
[01:36.04]He swore he’d drive all night, to get to Abilene
[01:45.22]And the water runs deep
[01:50.45]In the river of doubt
[01:55.49]And it offers no easy way out
[02:06.43]Only the river heard him call her name
[02:15.17]As the angels called his
[02:20.32]On that bridge in the rain
[02:27.02]It’s hard to find a job when you’re just seventeen
[02:31.62]And when the whole town knows you’ve been to Abilene
[02:36.76]But losing him taught her, the value of a life
[02:42.16]She wipes away the tears, and holds their baby tight
