Behind That Picket Fence 

 

My baby was a hard worker; Never started trouble

He didn’t try to ruffle up the feathers of another

He rose with the sun; So the Lord gave him enough

But I wanted more; More for us, so….

 

I went behind that picket fence

With my courage in my chest

To return with more than this

I went behind that picket fence

To find out what lied ahead

If I live beyond my fears

Oh, oh, oh, oh, don’t worry partner

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I’m coming home

 

Went pushing through the grapevines; Letters every Sunday

Didn’t have the time to think about not having money

I thought of all your ways; It brought a smile to my face

I picked up moving forward, for us, knowing

 

I went behind that picket fence

With my courage in my chest

To return with more than this

I went behind that picket fence

To find out what lied ahead

If I live beyond my fears

Oh, oh, oh, oh, don’t worry partner

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I’m coming home
