3rd traste
[Verse 1]
Cadd9
There's so much goin' on in this town
G
To keep me busy, I've been runnin' around
Cadd9
Up and down all these avenues
G
Doin' everything but thinkin 'bout you
Cadd9
As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
G
The city side of those city limit signs
Cadd9
You don't really cross my mind
[Chorus]
G
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
Cadd9
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
G
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the South, sure
Cadd9
Shines like gold down these old
G
Round bale, river valley backroads
Cadd9
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
G
God almighty, baby, we were that close
Cadd9
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
G
Out here on the outskirts
[Verse 2]
G
If I'da had a lick of damn sense
Cadd9
I'd be on the greener side of that fence
G
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
Cadd9
Twelve-hundred feet we're 'bout to add on
G
Smilin' out there watchin' them
Cadd9
Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground
G
While you're shootin' all my baby names down
[Chorus]
G
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
Cadd9
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
G
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the South, sure
Cadd9
Shines like gold down these old
G
Round bale, river valley backroads
Cadd9
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
G
God almighty, baby, we were that close
Cadd9
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
G
Out here on the outskirts
[Bridge]
G
I'm over all these Saturday nights
Cadd9
I miss the stars in your eyes
[Chorus]
G
We were gonna give up on the fast life
Cadd9
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
G
Take 'em to the river, get 'em baptized
Cadd9
Back in our day, if I'd have just stayed
G
I wouldn't be livin' in this condo
Cadd9
Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
G
God almighty, baby, we were that close
Cadd9
To ditchin' uptown, puttin' roots down
G Cadd9
Out here on the outskirts
