SONG:Picket Fences

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
who's lives are still spinnin' around
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
paintin' them's such a mess
and a big backyard where kids can play
i'd pro'bly never get a moments 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
but 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 backyard where kids can play
i'd pro'bly never get a moments 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
