Dwight Yoakam

Fair to Midland, is all that I need
If I had fair to midland, Iâd take the first seat
On a fast train, bus or plane
Whichever proved the quickest way for me
I left her in midland near one last promise I couldn't keep
To chase a future paved with gold
Small county road donât ever reach
But for every cloudless mile the sun has shone
Thereâs been a hundred nights alone at least
The shame is how it took so long
to figure out fair to midland donât come cheap
My eyes keep lonely thought reminding me
With every dusty truck that I see
Iâm only closer to how far away can be
And all the time its left is an eternity
Now to make myself west Texas bound
Fair to midland is all I need
Fair to midland is all that I need
If I had fair to midland Id take the first seat
