HaHaHa....who'd name their kid "Jay Bird"......can you imagine growin up with a name like that? That's almost as bad as the Hogg family namin their twin daughters Ima and Ura (which is a totally true story)
That land says Lubbock, but it's not. Lubbock is not Cochran county. The only towns listed in Cochran county are Morton, Whiteface, and Griffin. Only One road goin thru the whole county.LOL and it says it's 1 mile from the New Mexico Line.....ewwwwwww, not pretty country at all.
Abilene is (in my opinioin) NOT a pretty town. Like so many out there, it's been Oilfield oriented for too many years. Lotta abandoned oilfield company's and lotsa pipe layin around. The newer part of town is nice, as far as "town" goes, but when you get to the older part of town it's trashy. Back when that song was made, "Abilene" it mighta been a pretty lil town, but not no more.'
Midland, Odessa, BigSpring, Sweetwater, Pecos, and even My home town of Monahans, are all lil Yucky Oilfeild towns that are lookin Ghostly.
