Lyric 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
