Picket Fences — Chely Wright

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.

Chorus

Tell me what's so great about picket fences. Paintin' them is such a mess. And a big back yard where kids can play. I'd probably never get a moments rest. And setting 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,

Repeat Chorus

Tell me what's so great about picket fences. I guess I'll never know.
