Kelly Reckless - Thelma lyrics
rate me<br>
i'm down to one key in my pocket,<br>
the bus station locker downtown,<br>
the soles of my shoes ,<br>
are as thin as my wallet,<br>
i been sleeping close to the ground<br>
<br>
but buried up here in my memory,<br>
is a head full of living room hits,<br>
i wrote about thelma when we were an item,<br>
and i was worth more than two bits,<br>
<br>
so i'll sing you a song about thelma,<br>
if you have a quarter to spare,<br>
if you had the time or a bottle of wine,<br>
that you'd be willing to share,<br>
and later i'll show you a picture,<br>
of thelma when she's in her prime,<br>
if you want to see mr i've got the key,<br>
and the bus station locker take dimes,<br>
<br>
i had me a band in the 60's,<br>
"ladies texas outlaw,"<br>
thelma could sing so we moved nashville,<br>
and in '68, she got hot,<br>
a high flyin' record producer, <br>
told thelma he'd make her a star,<br>
he wined her and dined her and stole her away<br>
and left me with my old guitar,<br>
<br>
she died last year on my birthday,<br>
the day that i turned 65,<br>
most have forgotten including her fans,<br>
but i'm keeping her memory alive,<br>
cuz i've got this key in my pocket,<br>
i've had since '72,<br>
i've built her a shrine in that locker downtown, <br>
and i think she'd be pleased if she knew<br>
<br>
so i'll sing you a song about thelma,<br>
if you have a quarter to spare,<br>
if you have the time or a bottle of wine,<br>
and you'd be willing to share,<br>
later i'll show you a picture,<br>
of thelma when she's in her prime,<br>
if you wanna see mr i've got the key,<br>
and the bus station locker takes dimes<br>
<br>
if you wanna see mr i've got the key<br>
and the bus station locker takes dimes<br>
<br>
<br>
