Fair to Midland Dwight Yoakam
Fair To Midland by Dwight Yoakum
From the album Population Me
Submitted by D.H. Badger
[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
