Picket Fences

<br>Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things.<br>They`re taught at a tender age just what life should bring.<br>Get a job say I do and settle yourself down.<br>But what about those of us whose lives are still spinnin` around.<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Tell me what`s so great about picket fences.<br>Paintin` them is such a mess.<br>And a big back yard where kids can play.<br>I`d probably never get a moments rest.<br>And setting the table for five at five.<br>Only means more dishes to load.<br>What`s so great about picket fences.<br>I guess I`ll never know.<br><br>Here I am in my prime at least they tell me so.<br>And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone.<br>I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side.<br>But I can`t take the give and take the price is just too high,<br><br>Repeat Chorus<br><br>Tell me what`s so great about picket fences.<br>I guess I`ll never know.
