Craig Campbell - "Outskirts Of Heaven"

Written by Craig Campbell and Dave Turnbull. Produced By Red Bow Records and released to country radio on March 21, 2016.

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 12 decibels
And he made sure I know there’s life after this
With pearl-y gates and streets of gold
Said if I just believe, that’s where I’ll go

Well 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’s theres Dogwood trees and honeybees
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
It mentions a mansion that He’s build just for me
I’d gladly trade it for a farm house with acres
And a back yard that’s shady with 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’s theres Dogwood trees and honeybees
And blue skies and green grass forever
Lord, when I die, I wanna live
On the outskirts of Heaven

Yeah
(Instrumental break)

Yeah the good Lord 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
