Picket Fences

(Chely Wright)

(track 7 - time 4: 06)

Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things

Theyre 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 whats so great about Picket Fences

Paintin thems such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

Id probably never get a moments rest

And settin the table for five at five

Only means more dishes to load

Whats so great about Picket Fences

I guess Ill 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 cant take the give and take the price is just too high

Tell me whats so great about Picket Fences

Paintin thems such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

Id probably never get a moments rest

And settin the table for five at five

Only means more dishes to load

Whats so great about Picket Fences

I guess Ill never know

Tell me whats so great about Picket Fences

I guess Ill never know
