Lyrics

Honest Abe

Splittin’ rails, mending fences
He did not set out to change the world
A lone log cabin outside of Springfield
Reading books by candlelight
A lanky boy, kinda odd to look at
A heart of gold and a mind to match

Honest Abe set forth one day
To make his way in the world
Who could have known what destiny held?
Who could have known fate's course?

A good man can change the world
A humble soul who is willing to try
A good man, An honest man
A good man, ‘til the day he died
Splittin’ rails, mending fences
He did not set out to change the world

A lone log cabin outside of Springfield
Reading books by candlelight
A lanky boy, kinda odd to look at
A heart of gold and a mind to match

Honest Abe set forth one day
To make his way in the world
Who could have known what destiny held?
Who could have known fate's course?

A good man can change the world
A humble soul who is willing to try
A good man, an honest man
A good man, until the day he died
A good man can change the world
A humble soul who is willing to try

A good man, an honest man
A good man, until the day he died
Splittin’ rails, mending fences
He did not set out to change the world
