The door on the mailbox is rusted shut

The grass in the yard sure has grown up

One of the chains is broken on the front porch swing

I don't know why I came

I guess I had to see it one more time

This little trailer we shared in better times

Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving

I wish the wind could blow me back in time

Those were the days I had it made when you were

Temporarily forever mine

Did you know your mother still calls me

She's got a special place in her heart for me

I'll always be her favorite son in law

She wonders what went wrong

I know time can take this pain away

But time can't take me back to yesterday

Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving

I wish the wind could blow me back in time

Those were the days I had it made when you were

Temporarily forever mine

Keep just

Temporarily forever mine
