C Fair to Midland is all that I need
If I had fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat
On a F fast train, bus, or plane
Which ever proved the quickest
Way for C me
C I left her in Midland
Near one last promise
I couldn't keep
To chase a future paved with fools
Small county roads
Don't ever reach
But for every F cloudless mile
The sun has shone
There's been a hundred
Nights alone, at C least
The g shame is how it took so long
To figure out, fare to Midland
Don't come C cheap
My eyes keep G lonely
Thoughts reminding C me
With every G dusty truck that I C see
I'm only F closer to
How far C away can be
And all the G time that's left
Is an C eternity
Instrumental
G To make myself West Texas bound
The fare to Midland is all I C need
C Fair to Midland is all that I need
If I had fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat
Instrumental
