[Verse 1]
Asus2
 There's so much goin' on in this town
                                     Dsus2
To keep me busy, I've been runnin' around
                          Dsus2
Up and down all these avenues
                                     Asus2
Doin' everything but thinkin' 'bout you
                               Asus2
As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
          Asus2
The city side of those city limit signs
Dsus2
 You don't really cross my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
                                  Dsus2
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
                              Dsus2
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
                                 Asus2
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure
                  Asus2
Shines like gold down these old
 F#m        A/C#         Dsus2
Round bail river valley backroads
                                   Dsus2
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
               E             F#m
God almighty, baby, we were that close
                           E
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
A/C#            Dsus2
Out here on the outskirts
 
 
[Verse 2]
Asus2
 If I'da had a lick of damn sense
                                    Dsus2
I'd be on the greener side of that fence
                                        Dsus2
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
       Dsus2
1,200 feet we're 'bout to add on
Asus2
 Smilin' out there watchin' them
                                        Dsus2
Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground
                                         Dsus2
While you're shootin' all my baby names down
 
 
[Chorus]
                                  Dsus2
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
                              Dsus2
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
                                 Asus2
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure
                  Asus2
Shines like gold down these old
 F#m        A/C#         Dsus2
Round bail river valley backroads
                                   Dsus2
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
               E             F#m
God almighty, baby, we were that close
                           E
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
A/C#            Dsus2

                             Asus2
I'm over all these Saturday nights
                         D
I miss the stars in your eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Dsus2
We were gonna give up on the fast life
                                Dsus2
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
                                Asus2
Take 'em to the river, get 'em baptized
                    Asus2
Back in our day, if I'da just stayed
F#m            A/C#           Dsus2
I wouldn't be livin' in this condo
                                Dsus2
Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
               E             F#m
God almighty, baby, we were that close
                     E
To ditchin' uptown, puttin' roots down
A/C#            Dsus2       Asus2    F#m    A/C#   Dsus2
Out here on the outskirts
