Intro:
Verse:
My grandpa taught me about buck knifes and shot guns
And 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
Chorus:
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 honey bees and blue skies
and green grass forever
So lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of heaven
Verse:
Now it says in the King James in the almightys 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
Chorus:
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 honey bees and blue skies
and green grass forever
So lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of heaven.
Yes, I do
Bridge:
Yeah the good lord knows me he knows I need blue skies
and green grass forever
Outro:
Lord when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of heaven
Yeah when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of heaven
