Abilene (song)

Abilene, a song by George Hamilton IV, was written in 1976 and expressed anti-war seniment. Not largely played on the mainstream radio, it soon gained a large following among the hippie movement. Never topping the mainstream charts, never the less, it became a theme song for many songwriters to come, and would inspire such great artists as Tom Petty, Izaak Dail, and the late Jimi Hendrix.
