Description
This song about middle class Americia and the hard working person that tries to fit everything into a day that they can. Weather it be at work, home, taking your kids to practice or pursuing your dream, you ultimately decide the outcome. Either you give up or move forward but you do the best with what you have to make everything seem OK for the sake of your family.
Lyrics
The Picket Fence by Marla Kane Verse: Wake up in the mornin’ Hit the floor runnin’ Ain’t got no time to loose Get everybody feed and out the door Gotta get em’ off to work and school Chorus: You and I know What life is like Runnin’ like crazy Just to be on time Trying to keep the dream alive Behind the picket fence Behind the picket fence Verse: There’s just enough time For me to get ready To do what I gotta do The clock keeps tickin’ And I keep wishin’ There was time for me and you Chorus: You and I know What life is like Runnin’ like crazy Just to be on time Trying to keep the dream alive Behind the picket fence Behind the picket fence Bridge: Football, soccer, homework and chores Gotta keep these kids in line Workin’ for the man Barely getting’ paid The only things ain't getting’ done are mine Cause life just smacks you right in the face Sometime you gotta pick and choose Just remember the dream that you had And the things that you could never loose Behind the picket fence Oh, behind the picket fence Verse: Now the kids are grown And out the door I think they know we did our best The freedom we have Is really nice But now we have an empty nest Chorus: You and I know what Life is like Workin like crazy Just to keep you mine Tryin to keep the dream alive Behind the picket fence The clean, white picket fence The pick, the pick, the picket fence Behind the picket fence Behind that picket fence, yeah
