Fair To Midland
By Dwight Yoakum


C
Fair to Midland is all that I need
   C
If I had fair to Midland, I’d take the first seat
     F
On a fast train, bus or plane 
                                      C
Whichever proved the quickest way for me
C
I left her in Midland near one last promise I couldn't keep
C
To chase a future paved with fools small county roads don’t ever reach
              F
But for every cloudless mile the sun has shone 
                                 C
There’s been 100 nights alone at least
    G
The shame is how it took so long 
                                         C
to figure out fair to Midland don’t come cheap


Chorus:
             G                         C
My eyes keep lonely thoughts reminding me
           G                  C
With every dusty truck that I see
              F                  C
I know you’re closer to how far away can be
            G                    C  
Now all the time is left is an eternity


Instrumental


          G
Enough to make myself west Texas bound
G                        C
Fair to Midland is all I need


C
Fair to Midland is all that I need

If I had fair to Midland, I’d take the first seat
