Buck Owens The Keys in the Mailbox Lyrics
Oh jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night
So the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sitting here wishing dear I had your love again
I'll never even ask you where you've been the key's in the mailbox come on in
[ steel - fiddle ]
I said I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sitting here alone I can't deny the flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms
So the key's in the mailbox...

I like Buck Owens BUT there's nobody who can sing this song any better than the original artist who was/is Freddie Hart who recorded it in the late 1950s early 1960s. Harlin Howard (husband of Legendary female artist Jan Howard) was a magnificent song writer.

Freddie Hart 1960 originally. Written by Harlan Howard.
