G...
[Verse 1]
G..There's so much goin' on in this town
CTo keep me busy, I've been runnin' around
Up and down all these avenues
GDoin' everything but thinking 'bout you
As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
CThe city side of those city limit signs
You don't really cross my mind
[Chorus]
CBut soon as I get out here on the outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
GSomething 'bout a summer in the South, sure
Shines like gold down these old
Em D CRound bail river valley backroads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
D EmGod almighty, baby, we were that close
DTo ditchin' this town and settlin' down
Bm COut here on the outskirts
[Verse 2]
G..If I'd have had a lick of **** sense
CI'd be on the greener side of that fence
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
GTwelve-hundred feet we're 'bout to add on
Smilin' out there watchin' them
CBig ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground
While you're shootin' all my baby names down
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Chorus]
CBut soon as I get out here on the outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
GSomething 'bout a summer in the South, sure
Shines like gold down these old
Em Bm CRound bail river valley backroads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
D EmGod almighty, baby, we were that close
DTo ditchin' this town and settlin' down
Bm COut here on the outskirts
[Instrumental]
C..
[Bridge]
GI'm over all these Saturday nights
DI miss the stars in your eyes
[Chorus]
CWe were gonna give up on the fast life
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
GTake 'em to the river, get 'em baptized
Back in our day, if I'd have just stayed
Em Bm CI wouldn't be livin' in this condo
Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
D EmGod almighty, baby, we were that close
DTo ditchin' uptown, puttin' roots down
Bm COut here on the outskirts
[Outro]
