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 bale 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 **** 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 bale 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
