John Prine - Dual Custody lyrics

That's my toaster over there It was mine before we married I bought it fair and square And that's my purple Persian Oriental polyester continental rug on the floor Pots and pans and ugly dishes One old dog and two goldfishes Broken dreams, shattered wishes A lucky horseshoe hanging above the door What was that for? Sweet memories, you and me Dual custody The oven roaster, your rocking chair The walnut secretary, your wedding silverware You only brought out on Thanksgiving When Gramma was still living Rest her soul, far to go You only took the things you needed Hanging plants and old bird feeders A jug we used for margaritas Back when things was mighty fine Most all the time Sweet memories, you and me Dual custody, dual custody These memories, you and me Dual custody, dual custody There's our photo of you and me It was taken in Orlando in 1993 When we were holding hands and laughing We were loving, we were living Naturally, so happily Now we only meet on Fridays When you drop the kids at my place You want yours and I want my space And that's the one thing we agreed upon Life goes on Sweet memories of you and me Dual custody, dual custody Sweet memories of you and me Dual custody, dual custody All right
