Big Country,,,,

Abilene, Texas and the surrounding area is referred to as 'Big Country'. You hear this on newscasts, radio station identifications and many advertisements.

Someone of my generation inevitably gets the song, 'In a Big Country' by well, 'Big Country' stuck in their head. It is not quite as haunting as Abba's 'Dancing Queen' (which allows for more customization of lyrics), but lingering none the less.

The chorus begins, 'In a big country, dreams stay with you', and so they do....

One of our dreams was born here

 
 

Another got bigger
 
 
and bigger
 
 
A third was foreign to us, until we arrived here
 
 
 
Not quite certain that all dreams were honorable, ahem 
 
 
 
but when in Texas dream big!
