The Outskirts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
Come around sundown to hear the sound
Kids and the crickets under pinkish skies
Swing on by 'cause we're drinkin' tonight
Well, in my mind, trees line the drive
There's a kind lovin' lady belly laughin' inside
And in the mornin' while we're drinkin' brew
She'll say, "The city ain't nothin' like the outskirts with you"
[Chorus]
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
[Verse 2]
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
Where the wind chimes sing to the porch swing crowd
June into August, August to May
With the sun beatin' down, no snow in the way
The smell of fresh-cut grass in the yard
I don't care who you are, drink a fifth, bring your heart
You put down a tailgate, I'll put down a tune
'Cause out in the 'skirts, we move and shake with the moon
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
Come around sundown to hear the sound
Kids and the crickets under pinkish skies
Swing on by 'cause we're drinkin' tonight
Well, in my mind, trees line the drive
There's a kind lovin' lady belly laughin' inside
And in the mornin' while we're drinkin' brew
She'll say, "The city ain't nothin' like the outskirts with you"
[Chorus]
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
[Verse 2]
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
Where the wind chimes sing to the porch swing crowd
June into August, August to May
With the sun beatin' down, no snow in the way
The smell of fresh-cut grass in the yard
I don't care who you are, drink a fifth, bring your heart
You put down a tailgate, I'll put down a tune
'Cause out in the 'skirts, we move and shake with the moon
[Chorus]
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
Oh, I swear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
Oh, I swear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day
With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house into a home
Then we'll grin in the driveway, how your smile outdoes the dawn
Hold on, hope is on the way
Oh, I swear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
Oh, I swear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
