I live on the outskirts of town

that is where I choose to be.

Or, at least, I’m comfortable

with no one around me.

I live on the outskirts of town

just outside the commotion.

But easy enough to visit town

whenever I get the notion.

I live on the outskirts of town

not really a part of it all.

I thrive on plenty of space

but I do have a pretty big wall.

I live on the outskirts of town

my place is not easy to find.

It’s easy to overlook.

Not much to look at but it’s all mine.

I live on the outskirts of town

just the way I prefer it.

It’s my way of life now

I am not able to quit.

I live on the outskirts of town

that is where I will be.

Out here enjoying lonely freedom

is where you will find me.
