[Verse 1] 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 twelve disciples And he made sure that I know theres life after this With pearly gates and streets of gold He said if I just believe thats where Ill go [Chorus] Lord when I die I wanna live On the outskirts of Heaven Where theres dirt roads for miles Hay in the fields and fish in the river Where theres dogwood trees and honey bees And blue skies and green grass forever Lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven [Verse 2] Now it says in the King James in the Almightys kingdom He mentions a mansion that hes built just for me Now Id gladly trade it for a farm house with acreage And a back yard thats shaded and a squeaky front porch swing Thats where I wanna hang my wings [Chorus] When I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven Where theres dirt roads for miles Hay in the fields and fish in the river Where theres 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 You might also like[Outro] 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
