Fences

You were roses on white picket, a bluebird in the choir

I was an old trespassing sign on some rusty old barbed wire

I was reaching to chainlink toward that old stained glass

Tryna catch a real light that came in through the cracks

There's one around your mama's house, your high school, and the church

And we wrap them all around our hearts to keep from gettin' hurt

They say the grass is always greener, yeah, this time, it was true

Thank God I came to my senses and jumped all those fences for you

Well, your daddy never liked me much, I can't understand

He was never gonna open up that gate and let me in

But, girl, I found my way to you and ripped my jacket trying

It was heaven looking in your eyes and a hell of a good time climbing

That one 'round your mama's house and high school and the church

And we wrapped them all around our hearts to keep from gettin' hurt

They say the grass is always greener, yeah, this time, it was true

Thank God I came to my senses and jumped all those fences for you

Baby, it sure was high when I came around

But now that you let me in, I ain't gonna let you down

'Cause there's one around your mama's house, your high school, and the church

And we wrap them all around our hearts to keep from gettin' hurt

They say the grass is always greener, yeah, this time, it was true

Thank God I came to my senses and jumped all those fences for you

Fences for you, oh
