Picket Fences

Picket Fences
Phillip Douglas, Ron Harbin, Lisa Shafer

Verse 1:
Grass is grown up 3 feet high
Around a faded for sale sign
Oh, the paint is cracked and dry
Mail box hanging by 2 nails
The stories that this place could tell
Oh, could make you cry

Chorus:
What in the world could have happened?
To let such a dream just run down
Questions everyone is asking
Did someone cheat? Did someone lie?
Did love one day just up and die?
Leave two hearts lonely and defenseless
You never know what’s behind
Picket fences

Verse 2:
Around the gate is a lock and chain
Does it keep out thieves or keep in pain?
Oh, it’s a mystery
How fast an empty house can age
When the ones that care just walk away
Oh, so instantly.

Chorus
