Story behind the song
I had been out of the country for awhile, and staying with a friend when I got back. As I was moving into my own place, I gave her back her house keys. I had not yet picked up the keys to my new place, so all I had was my car key. It was strange. My key ring didn't jingle. It seemed like a great metaphor. Then this dumb fun song happened.
Lyrics
Chorus
My key ring doesn’t jingle
Since you threw me out the door,
Ain’t a lock in this whole world
I can open anymore.
The only places I can go
Are places you won’t see
Anything that anybody wants,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Verse One
I recall when I was welcome
Everywhere I’d go
But that was long before
I grew into the man I know
I’ve been through jobs and money,
Been through women, been through friends.
It starts out good but
Then it always goes south in the end.
Verse Two
You were an oasis
In the desert of my life.
You took me in, you loved me,
You filled me with delight.
You made me dinner, let me sleep,
You paid for all my gas.
But there’s one lesson that I’ve learned,
That’s all good things must pass.
Chorus
My key ring doesn’t jingle
Since you threw me out the door,
Ain’t a lock in this whole world
I can open anymore.
The only places I can go
Are places you won’t see
Anything that anybody wants,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Bridge
My appetite for losin’
Never really was so great,
But when it’s on the menu,
I always clean my plate.
Verse Three
I know I wasn’t perfect,
But was I all so bad.
My cheatin’ and that
Fib or two I told you made you mad.
“Enough!” you said, you took my stuff
And heaved it out and you
Were tellin’ me to haul it
And my tail from your view.
Chorus
My key ring doesn’t jingle
Since you threw me out the door,
Ain’t a lock in this whole world
I can open anymore.
The only places I can go
Are places you won’t see
Anything that anybody wants,
That’s where you’ll find me.
The only places I can go
Are places you won’t see
Anything that anybody wants,
That’s where you’ll find me.
