From the recording My Heart Plays These Songs
Lyrics
White Picket Fence
(Words and Music by Effron White)
There’s a white picket fence
Surrounding all the dreams we have had
And this dog on the porch
Thinks I’m his best pal and a prince
The smell of chicken cooking
And a song I hear you singing cause you’re glad
Distracts me just a moment
From the spaces in that white picket fence
That wide open road keeps calling my name
And my rig can’t wait to be blowing down the highway like the wind
So lay those white picket slats down end to end
And bid me your love til I follow that line back again
Instrumental break with humming…
The miles roll beneath me
As I flip through old pictures in my mind
Yes, I’m one lucky trucker
Cause I live a life that only Heaven sends
But the best thing about
The freedom of the road I can find
Is coming home to my woman
At the gate of that white picket fence
CHORUS
