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

                              C
Fair to midland is all I need

If I had fair to midland Id take the first seat
