C C Fair to Midland, is all that I need C C If I had fair to midland, Iad 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 gold C Small county road donat ever reach F But for every cloudless mile the sun has shone C Thereas been a hundred nights alone at least G The shame is how it took so long C to figure out fair to midland donat come cheap G C My eyes keep lonely thought reminding me G C With every dusty truck that I see F C Iam only closer to how far away can be G C And all the time its left is an eternity {Instrumental} C F C G Now to make myself west Texas bound C Fair to midland is all I need C Fair to midland is all that I need C If I had fair to midland Id take the first seat
