Song Lyrics

Fare to Midland is all that I need
If I had fair to Midland
I`d take the first seat
On a fast train, bus, or plane
Which ever 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.

--- Instrumental ---

To make myself west Texas bound
The 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...
