Outskirts Of Heaven Lyrics - Outskirts Of Heaven - Craig Campbell

My grandpa taught me about buck knifes and shot guns 

How to cast an old Zebco 

And how to work a stick shift 

He taught me the bible about all 12 disciples 

And he made sure that I know there's life after this 

With pearly gates and streets of gold 

He said if I just believe that's where I'll go

Lord when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven. 

Where there's dirt roads for miles 

Hay in the fields and fish in the river 

Where there's dogwood trees and honey bees and blue skies and green grass forever 

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's built just for me 

Now I'd 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 

Hay in the fields and fish in the river 

Where there's dogwood trees and honey bees and blue skies and green grass forever 

So lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven. 

Yeah 

Yeah, the good Lord knows me he knows 

I need blue skies and green grass forever 

Lord when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven. 

Yeah, when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven.
