Dual Custody - John Prine

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
