I had plenty of keys on my key ring
a beautiful home i had every(d)thing
with a lovinâ wife and a car to drive
i came home from work every day at five

and one by one i started losinâ them keys
my darling wife i just couldnât please
my boss got on my nerves one day
i knew that i was on my way

chorus:
i lost my wife, i lost my home
quit my job, and set out alone
with just one key on my key chain
iâm gonna start all over again

she finally decided we just couldnât be
she wanted things i just couldnât see
she said, iâm tired of waiting aroundä
she took the last train out of town

repeat chorus

well the bankers came and took the key to my home
just one key left from all i ever owned
iâm turning that key lettinâ out the clutch
i never did like this town that much

repeat chorus
