There's so much goin' on in this town
To keep me busy, I've been runnin' around
Up and down all these avenues
Doin' everything but thinkin' 'bout you
As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine
The city side of those city limit signs
You don't really cross my mind
[Chorus]
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure
Shines like gold down these old
Round bail, river valley back roads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
God almighty, baby, we were that close
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
Out here on the outskirts
[Verse 2]
If I'da had a lick of damn sense
I'd be on the greener side of that fence
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
Twelve-hundred feet we're 'bout to add on
Smilin' out there watchin' them
Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground
While you're shootin' all my baby names down
[Chorus]
But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
Somethin' 'bout a summer in the south sure
Shines like gold down these old
Round bail, river valley back roads
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
God almighty, baby, we were that close
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
Out here on the outskirts
[Bridge]
I'm over all these Saturday nights
I miss the stars in your eyes
[Chorus]
We were gonna give up on the fast life
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
Take 'em to the river, get 'em baptized
Back in our day, if I'da just stayed
I wouldn't be livin' in this condo
Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
God almighty, baby, we were that close
To ditchin' uptown, puttin' roots down
Out here on the outskirts
Li vî bajarî pir biçe 'li wir
Da ku ez mijûl bimînim, ez li dora xwe runnin
Hemî van avahiyan bilind û jor
Doin 'her tişt lê difikirin' 'we
Heya ku ez li ser 'em bimînim, ez baş im
Aliyê bajêr ji wan nîşanên sînorê bajêr
Hûn bi rastî ji hişê xwe derbas nakin
[Qoro]
Lê di demek kurt de ez li vir derketim derve
Ez dixwazim ku ez yekem ji hêla mala we ve hatim
Somethin '' havînek li Başûr piştrast bike
Mîna zêr diherike
Bailê Rengîn, Riyên Valley River Valley
Way li hollerê ku giyayê mezin dibe
Xwedayê Xwedayê, Baby, em wê nêzîk bûn
Ji bo Ditchin 'vî bajarî û rûniştinê' dakêşin
Li vir li derveyî deran
[Ayetek 2]
Heke ez ji bo hişmendiya damînan lînç hebû
Ez ê li ser milê wî yê baranê bimînim
Xaniyê destpêka piçûk ku em di dawiyê de derketine
Diwanzdeh sed lingên ku em lê zêde dikin
Smilin 'Out Li wir Watchin wan
Big ol 'Zerîn
Dema ku hûn hemî navên pitikên min in
[Qoro]
Lê di demek kurt de ez li vir derketim derve
Ez dixwazim ku ez yekem ji hêla mala we ve hatim
Somethin '' havînek li Başûr piştrast bike
Mîna zêr diherike
Bailê Rengîn, Riyên Valley River Valley
Way li hollerê ku giyayê mezin dibe
Xwedayê Xwedayê, Baby, em wê nêzîk bûn
Ji bo Ditchin 'vî bajarî û rûniştinê' dakêşin
Li vir li derveyî deran
[Pir]
Ez li ser van hemî şevên Saturdayemiyê me
Ez stêrên di çavên te de bêriya dikim
[Qoro]
Em ê li ser jiyana bilez bidomin
Pitikên pitikan hene, mafê xwe bilind bikin
'Em ji Riveremê re bigirin, Bibînin
Di roja me de vegeriya, heke ez tenê bimînim
Ez ê di vê kondolê de nekim
Hangin 'bi Hailey ji Toronto re
Xwedayê Xwedayê, Baby, em wê nêzîk bûn
To Ditchin 'Uptown, Puttin Roots Down
Li vir li derveyî deran
