White Picket Dreams (Remix)

Got a truck in the driveway Cars in the shed A penthouse view with a king-size bed Bank account stack Gold chain shine But it's quite as hell when it's all in mine Crowds all cheer when I hit that stage But I walk back home to an empty cage A thousand lights don't warm this place I trade it all for a smile on a face I want white picket dreams, kids in the yard, dogs running loose Loving my arms, I've had the fortune, I've had the fame But I traded on for a family name in the fast lane Life ain't what it seems, I just want home Got a boat on the water, jet skis fast Private jet ticket, but the joy don't last Whisky poured in a crystal glass But it tastes like nothing when the nights don't pass I scroll through pictures on my phone See my buddies with kids and I'm still alone All these toys just feel like chains When the heart's still longing for simple things Kids in the yard, dogs running loose Loving my arms, I've had the fortune I've had the fame But I traded off for a family name Yeah, the fast lane, life ain't what it seems I just want home and white picket dreams Buys a house, but it don't buy home Crowds cheer loud, but I'm still alone The American dream ain't in gold or green It's kids laughin' loud and a backyard sing I want white picket dreams Kids in the yard, dogs runnin' loose Lookin' my arms, I've had the fortune I've had the fame, but I trade it all for a family name Life ain't what it seems I just want home And why pick a dream? Yeah, I give it all back Just for one backyard swing set But not what I need
