Fence Lyrics by Ashley Anne & Eli Winders
Two bed, one bath
Sittin’ pretty in a cul de sac
From the rooftop to the welcome mat
It’s the cover of Southern Living
Homecoming king and queen
Next step was a diamond ring
Made hometown history
Cause we didn’t know no different
Checked all the boxes
of what were supposed to do
So why don’t it feel like something
I can come home to
We built this house up brick by brick
Keep the door unlocked and the porch light lit
But gotten pretty good at playing pretend
Yeah we look past loose screws and a broken hinge
Cause we’re in too deep to call it quits
So we throw a coat of paint
on a fence
that we just can’t mend
(Maybe we’re) hung up on meant to be
Still stuck at 17
Tryna act like 33
Like we got it all together
I still can’t tell if it’s
for worse or for better, baby
We built this house up brick by brick
Keep the door unlocked and the porch light lit
But gotten pretty good at playing pretend
Yeah we look past loose screws and a broken hinge
Cause we’re in too deep to call it quits
So we throw a coat of paint
on a fence
that we just can’t mend
We planted roots in Tennessee ground
Built a white picket all the way around
Ain’t no sense in moving out
We built this house up brick by brick
Keep the door unlocked and the porch light lit
But gotten pretty good at playing pretend
Yeah we look past loose screws and a broken hinge
Cause we’re in too deep to call it quits
So we throw a coat of paint
on a fence
that we just can’t mend
