Outskirts

There's so much goin' on in this town

To keep me busy I've been runnin' around

Up and down all these avenues

Doin' everything but thinkin' 'bout you

As long as I stay on 'em I'm fine

The city side of those city limit signs

You don't really cross my mind

But soon as I get out here on the outskirts

I wish I was runnin' by your house first

Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure

Shines like gold down these old

Round bail river valley back roads

Way back in the holler where the grass grows

God almighty baby we were that close

To ditchin' this town and settlin' down

Out here on the outskirts

If I'da had a lick of d**n sense

I'd be on the greener side of that fence

Little starter house we've finally outgrown

Twelve-hundred feet we're 'bout to add on

Smilin' out there watchin' them

Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground

While you're shootin' all my baby names down

But soon as I get out here on the outskirts

I wish I was runnin' by your house first

Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure

Shines like gold down these old

Round bail river valley back roads

Way back in the holler where the grass grows

God almighty baby we were that close

To ditchin' this town and settlin' down

Out here on the outskirts

I'm over all these Saturday nights

I miss the stars in your eyes

We were gonna give up on the fast life

Have a couple babies raise 'em up right

Take 'em to the river get 'em baptized

Back in our day if I'da just stayed

I wouldn't be livin' in this condo

Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto

God almighty baby we were that close

To ditchin' uptown puttin' roots down

Out here on the outskirts
