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
