Fences Lyrics by Preston James

White Trash from Way Back

2024

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, your dad 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Baby, it sure was high when I came around
But now that you let me in, I ain't gonna let you down

[Chorus]
'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

[Outro]
Fences for you, oh
