Fair to Midland

Fair to Midland it's all that I need
If I I had a fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat, on a fast train, bus, or plane
Whichever proved the quickest, way for me

I left him in Midland
Near one last promise, I couldn't keep
To chase a future paved with fools
Country roads don't ever meet

But for every cloudless mile, the sun shone
There's been a hundred nights alone, at least
The shame is how it took so long
To figure out, fare to Midland don't come cheap

My eyes keep lonely thoughts, reminding me
With every dusty truck, that I see
I'm only closer to, how far away can be
And all the time that's left
Is an eternity
Inst.
To make myself West Texas bound
The fare to Midland is all I need
Fair to Midland it's all that I need
If I had a fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat
