Midland

John Baumann

[Verse 1]
You come from West Texas in a Mercedes-Benz
With your Louis Vuitton, and your debutante friends
Your step-mom came with you to watch you unpack
She'll go home in the Gulfstream when it's time to go back

To Midland
Midland

[Verse 2]
Your daddy, he's been working since the day he turned 18
Workin' for his father, turnin' crude to gasoline
In the great 1980's when the boom came to town
And all them big ole buildings, they just shot out of the ground

Out in Midland
Midland

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
You're down to three houses for Greek sisterhood
How 'bout them Tri Deltas, we all knew you would
You're all set to major in the fashion merchandise
But you'll drop it in the spring for a boy from Alamo Heights
Of course he'll be handsome, and he'll have a good last name
Ya'll can sit in Jerry's box at the Cowboy football game
Take him home for Christmas, take him out to see the rigs
Where the roughnecks run the auger, and dance the black gold jig

Out in Midland
Midland

[Solo 2]

[Verse 4]
Some years down the road with your scripture rehearsed
You'll baptize that newborn baby at the Presbyterian church
He'll be too young to know what is underneath that soil
But you didn't either, so just anoint his head with oil

Out in Midland
Out in Midland
Midland
Midland
