Warren Zeiders, Craig Campbell - Outskirts of Heaven lyrics
[Warren Zeiders, Craig Campbell - Outskirts of Heaven lyrics]
My grandpa taught me about
Buck knives and shotguns
How to cast an old Zebco
How to work a stick shift
He taught me the Bible
About all twelve disciples
And he made sure that I
Know there's life after this
With pearly gates streets of gold
He said if I just believe
That’s where I’ll go
But Lord, when I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
Where there’s dirt roads for miles
And hay in the fields and fish in the river
Where there’s dogwood trees and honeybees
And blue skies and green grass forever
So, Lord, when I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
Now it says in the King James
In the almighty’s kingdom
He mentions a mansion that he
Built just for me
Now I'll gladly trade it for
A farm house with acreage
And a back yard that's shaded
And a squeaky front porch swing
That’s where I wanna hang my wings
When I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
Where there’s dirt roads for miles
And hay in the fields and fish in the river
Where there’s dogwood trees and honeybees
And blue skies and green grass forever
So, Lord, when I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
The good Lord knows me
He knows I need blue skies
And green grass forever so, Lord when I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
Yeah, when I die
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
