Past the fields of his dreams
All the cargo
Not headed nothing towards town
He'd wave and he'd watch and he'd wander
Then the dust would all settle back down
Ain't nothing out there
But an old driving screen
Where elizabeth taylor was clean
Like the rest she quit coming around
To the outskirts of town
They say there's so much out there for you
Maybe he never will know
The buses they load up the dreams
But leaving was too far to go
Washed in the blood and surrounded by the land
And the love he had known
Now you plan his dreams in the ground
On the outskirts of town
On the outskirts of town
He's living a dream where they weather their storms
Praying down on their knees
And they hold to each other
Till they know what they've found
On the outskirts of town
He looks past the fields at the sunrise
Watching the stars as they fade
Sits on the hood of his people
Thinking that he's got it made
Because the prettiest girl that he's ever seen
Gives up the road just in peace
And they're talking about settling down
On the outskirts of town
On the outskirts of town
He's living a dream where they weather their storms
Praying down on their knees
And they hold to each other
Cause they know what they found
On the outskirts of town
On the outskirts of town
On the outskirts of town
