Came in from work
I opened the door
Said, “Baby, your darlin’s home.”
All she’d left me was the clothes on my back,
The woman even took the telephone.
Bring back the kids, Colean
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
Bring back the kids, Colean, to Abilene,
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
Three days later…
Got a call from my daughter
Sayin, “Daddy, when we gonna come home?”
Asked where she was and she said she
Said she didn’t know
But it’s close to the Astrodome.
Bring back the kids, Colean, Colean,
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
Bring back the kids, Colean, to Abilene,
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
Hired me a lawyer for a hundred dollars down.
They tell me that he’s lean and mean
But judges rarely give the
Children to their pa.
Or it seems that way in Abilene.
Bring back the kids, Colean, to Abilene,
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
Bring back the kids, Colean, to Abilene,
‘cause I don’t love you no more.
