Dwight Yoakam - Fair To Midland lyrics
[Dwight Yoakam - Fair To Midland lyrics]
Fare to Midland is all that I need
If I had 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 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 cloudless mile
The sun has 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
Now to make myself west Texas bound
Fare to Midland is all I need
Fare to Midland is all that I need
If I had fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat
If I had 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 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 cloudless mile
The sun has 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
Now to make myself west Texas bound
Fare to Midland is all I need
Fare to Midland is all that I need
If I had fare to Midland
I'd take the first seat
