Picket Fences

(chely wright)

(track 7 - time 4:06)



Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things

They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring

Get a job say i do and settle yourself down

But what about those of us whose lives are still spinnin' around



Tell me what's so great about picket fences

Paintin' them's such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

I'd probably never get a moment's rest

And settin' the table for five at five

Only means more dishes to load

What's so great about picket fences

I guess i'll never know



Here i am in my prime at least they tell me so

And if i go to sleep at night i always go alone

I guess that i could have it all and someone by my side

But i can't take the give and take the price is just too high



Tell me what's so great about picket fences

Paintin' them's such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

I'd probably never get a moment's rest

And settin' the table for five at five

Only means more dishes to load

What's so great about picket fences

I guess i'll never know

Tell me what's so great about picket fences

I guess i'll never know
