Outskirts Of Town

Past the fields of his dreams, all the cars drove

Ninety to nothin' towards town

He'd wave and he'd watch and he'd wonder

Then the dust would all settle back down

Well, ain't nothin' out there but an old drive-in screen

Where Elizabeth Taylor was queen

And like the rest, she quit comin' around

To the outskirts of town

They say there's so much out there for you

Maybe he never will know

The buses, they load up the dreamers

But leavin' was too far to go

Washed in the blood and surrounded

By the land and the love he had known

Now he'll plant his dreams in the ground

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town, he's livin' a dream

Where they weather their storms

Praying down on their knees

And they hold to each other

'Cause they know what they found

On the outskirts of town

He looks past the fields at the sunrise

Watchin' the stars as they fade

He sits on the hood of his pick-up

Thinkin' that he's got it made

Because the prettiest girl that he's ever seen

Lives up the road just a piece

And they're talkin' about settling down

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town, he's livin' a dream

Where they weather their storms

Praying down on their knees

And they hold to each other

'Cause they know what they found

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town

On the outskirts of town
