[Intro] No city noise, no flashing signs Fireflies and old John Deere Dusty roads and neon skies Grew up on a gravel road in a cabin near the holler Where the fireflies gleam, where the fireflies gleam [Verse 1 / A + B] Dusty roads, they hum my name There’s a rusted barn on a gravel lane Fields of gold play a losing game A dog asleep in the midday rain The screen door slaps, the coffee brews Grandma hums an old hymn tune A gas station glow and fireflies Every corner’s got a secret to share Out here you learn to breathe the air It ain’t fancy, it’s just right Yeah, that’s my kind of country life [Pre / A ➜ Chorus B] Out here the stars fall closer Out here the air tastes older My kind of country, where the roots run deep Fields of golden hay and skies that weep It’s the sound of a train in the dead of night The taste of freedom, the stars so bright It ain’t the world, but it’s all I need My kind of country, where my soul’s set free [Hook / A] Outskirts calling Whisper low Where the wild winds always blow I’m a stranger to the city’s glow Outskirts calling Time to go [Verse 2 / B + A] The tractor hums through the break of dawn Hands worn rough, but the work goes on Fences lean like tired old men Stories carved in bark and tin A porch swing sways to the cricket’s song Neighbors wave, though the road is long Crickets sing where the fields run wide Laughter echoes with nowhere to hide A jukebox hums in a diner booth Every mile feels like a sweeter truth It’s a place where hearts align This simple life, this land is mine [Bridge / Blend] Pockets full of yesterday’s plans A heart that only the earth understands It’s the laughter at the county fair A little two-step, the dust in the air No map, no compass, no demand I walk the edge with open hands It’s Sunday morning, church bell chimes And every memory etched in time [Lift / Pre + Chorus Mix] Out here the stars fall closer Out here the air tastes older My kind of country, where the roots run deep Outskirts calling, whisper low Fields of golden hay and skies that weep Where the wild winds always blow It’s the sound of a train in the dead of night I’m a stranger to the city’s glow The taste of freedom, the stars so bright Outskirts calling, time to go [Final Chorus / B + A] My kind of country, where the roots run deep Fields of golden hay and skies that weep No concrete walls, no busy streams Just the hum of life and wild dreams When the city calls, I just won’t go This dirt and sky’s the life I know It ain’t the world, but it’s all I need Outskirts calling, my soul set free [Outro] I’m gonna make you wanna be here In the outskirts where the stars are near Nothing’s better than the quiet cheer My kind of country, where I’ll always be Come on, come on, just be here with me
