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>
