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"

With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house to a home

That old 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

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

With fireflies and some schemin', I'll turn this house to a home

That old 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 to a home

That old 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
