Outskirts Of Town

<br>Past the fields of his dreams all the cars drove<br>Ninety to nothin` towards town<br>He`d wave and he`d watch and he`d wonder<br>Then the dust would all settle back down<br>Well ain`t nothin` out there but an old drive in screen<br>Where Elizabeth Taylor was queen<br>And like the rest she quit comin` around<br>To the outskirts of town<br><br>They say there`s so much out there for you<br>Maybe he never will know<br>The buses they load up the dreamers<br>But leavin` was to far to go<br>Washed in the blood and surrounded<br>By the land and the love he had known<br>Now he`ll plant his dreams in the ground <br>On the outskirts of town<br><br>Chorus<br>On the outskirts of town he`s livin` a dream<br>Where they weather their storms<br>Praying down on the their knees<br>And they hold to each other `cause they know what they found<br>On the outskirts of town <br><br>He looks past the fields at the sun rise<br>Watchin` the stars as they fade<br>He sits on the hood of his pick-up<br>Thinkin` that he`s got it made<br>Because the prettiest girl that he`s ever seen <br>Lives up the road just a piece<br>And they`re talkin` about settling down<br>On the outskirts of town <br><br>Chorus <br><br>On the outskirts of town<br>On the outskirts of town
