(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
