(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
|(G) - - - |

(Verse 1)
There's (G)so much goin' on in this town
To keep me busy, I've been runnin' a-(C)round
(C)Up and down all these avenues
Doin' every-(C)thing but thinkin' 'bout (G)you
As (G)long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
The city (G)side of those city limit (C)signs
(C)You don't really cross my mind

(Chorus)
But (C)soon as I get out here on the outskirts
(C)I wish I was runnin' by your house first
(C)Somethin' 'bout a summer in the (G)south sure
(G)Shines like gold down these old
(Em)Round bail (G/B)river valley (C)backroads
(C)Way back in the holler where the grass grows
(C)God almighty, (D)baby, we were (Em)that close
To (Em)ditchin' this town and (D)settlin' down - - -
(G/B)Out here on the (C)outskirts

(Verse 2)
(G) If I'da had a lick of damn sense
I'd be (G)on the greener side of that (C)fence
Little (C)starter house we've finally outgrown
1,200 (C)feet we're 'bout to add (G)on
(G) Smilin' out there watchin' them
Big ol' (G)yellow buckets 'bout to break (C)ground
While you're (C)shootin' all my baby names down

(Chorus)
But soon as I get out here on the (C)outskirts
(C)I wish I was runnin' by your house first
(C)Somethin' 'bout a summer in the (G)south sure
(G)Shines like gold down these old
(Em)Round bail (G/B)river valley (C)backroads
(C)Way back in the holler where the grass grows
(C)God almighty, (D)baby, we were (Em)that close
To (Em)ditchin' this town and (D)settlin' down
(G/B)Out here on the (C)outskirts

(Bridge)
(C) I'm over all these Saturday (G)nights
I miss the (G)stars in your eyes (D)

(Chorus)
(D)We were gonna (G/B)give up on the (C)fast life
(C)Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
(C)Take 'em to the river, get 'em (G)baptized
(G)Back in our day, if I'da just stayed
(Em)I wouldn't be (G/B)livin’ in this (C)condo
(C)Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
(C)God almighty, (D)baby, we were (Em)that close
To (Em)ditchin' uptown, (D)puttin' roots down
(G/B)Out here on the (C)outskirts
