 Subject: Fair To Midland by Dwight Yoakum
 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
