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 into a home Vandal 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 into a home Vandal 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 That vandal 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
