VERSE
      D                     G            D
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
 G           D          A
Come around sundown to hear the sound

 D                           G       D
Kids and the crickets under pinkish skies
 G       D                A          D   D
Swing on by 'cause we're drinkin' tonight

      D            G              D
Well, in my mind, trees line the drive
            G          D          A          D
There's a kind lovin' lady belly laughin' inside

            D                   G        D
And in the mornin' while we're drinkin' brew
                  G          D                A              D   D
She'll say, "The city ain't nothin' like the outskirts with you"


CHORUS:
      G                  D                             A               G
With fireflies and some schemin' eyes we'll turn this house into a home
 G                      D                   A                 Bm
Then we'll grin in the driveway, hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A             Bm
Hol-old on, hope is on the way-aay
       G            D                        A             G
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day

VERSE:
      D                     G            D
Well, I want a home on the outskirts of town
           G           D           A           D
Where the wind chimes sing to the porch swing crowd

 D                 G         D
June into August, August to May
          G           D        A           D   D
With the sun beatin' down, no snow in the way

     D                  G            D
The smell of fresh-cut grass in the yard
         G            D            A                 D
I don't care who you are, drink a fifth, bring your heart

     D                         G          D
You put down a tailgate, I'll put down a tune
        G           D                   A              D   D
'Cause out in the 'skirts, we move and shake with the moon


CHORUS:
      G                  D                             A               G
With fireflies and some schemin' eyes we'll turn this house into a home
 G                      D                   A                 Bm
Then we'll grin in the driveway, hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A                Bm
Hol-old on, hope is on the way-ay-ay-ay
       G            D                        A            Bm
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day

       G            D                        A            Bm
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take you to the outskirts one day


CHORUS:
      G                  D                             A               G
With fireflies and some schemin' eyes we'll turn this house into a home
 G                      D                   A                 Bm
Then we'll grin in the driveway, hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A                Bm
Hol-old on, hope is on the way-ay-ay-ay

       G            D                        A            Bm
Oh, I swear-ear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
       G            D                        A            Bm
Oh, I swear-ear to God we'll make it to the outskirts one day
