About fourteen miles out of Abilene

At a curve in the road and a little stream

I found out what love's about

So long ago wonder what I found out

We all got together at the Buffalo Gap

Granpa Gus ain't got no lap

He went to heaven in a rocking chair

What a surprise if he ain't the only one there

You've got a man over eight feet tall

He can sleep in the kitchen with his feet in the hall

You ain't much more than five feet two

I bet you can do anything you've a mind to

This little song means nothing to you

Wouldn't matter at all if you wanted it to

Just part of my life and part of the show

Ain't that good but I thought you might want to know
