Picket Fences(Album Version) - Chely Wright

作词：Chely Wright

作曲：Chely Wright

Little boys 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 spinning around

Tell me what's so great about picket fences

Painting them's such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

I'd probably never get a moment's 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

Tell me what's so great about picket fences

Painting them's such a mess

And a big back yard where kids can play

I'd probably never get a moment's 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

Tell me what's so great about picket fences

I guess I'll never know
