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 |
