Picket Fences

Won't you follow me Honey way out past the picket fences Down where the river rolls, pretty as you please Let me show you where there's a piece of heaven there Where time goes driftin' like a feather on the breeze My mama's daddy built the barn in 1922 Those are his initials that he carved when it was new That live oak in the pasture was fully grown back then I like to think about him resting under the same limb Won't you follow me Honey way out past the picket fences Down where the river rolls, pretty as you please Let me show you where there's a piece of heaven there Where time goes driftin' like a feather on the breeze The church I grew up singin' in is right across the road The potluck supper they serve there is worth its weight in gold You can see three counties way up on Paint Rock bluff The water's deep and cool if you've got the guts to jump Won't you follow me Honey way out past the picket fences Down where the river rolls, pretty as you please Let me show you where there's a piece of heaven there Where time goes driftin' like a feather on the breeze Won't you follow me down Won't you follow me down Won't you follow me Honey way out past the picket fences Down where the river rolls, pretty as you please Let me show you where there's a piece of heaven there Where time goes driftin' like a feather on the breeze
