lyrics
I set your brass key on the linen by the sink At 7:12, the coffee pot was still in the brink You watched me from the porch while I folded up your coat I slid that ring off slow, then I slipped it in my tote You said, “Just leave it on the hook,” by the screen door frame But the whole thing in my palm still looked the same I kissed the dent in the fob, then I walked through rain Small town roads don’t forget, they just call your name Kept the keyring Kept the keyring I gave back your key Kept the keyring Kept the keyring It’s riding with me Kept the keyring Kept the keyring You can have the front door Kept the keyring Now it hangs on my rearview with a Kroger receipt By the dried-up daisy chain from last July’s heat Your spare still in the jar with the green screw-on lid I handed off the house key, but that silver ring I hid Kept the keyring Kept the keyring I gave back your key Kept the keyring Kept the keyring It’s riding with me Kept the keyring Kept the keyring You can have the front door Kept the keyring Mama said, “Baby, let it go, don’t make a scene” But that little ring felt heavier than it should’ve been So I left your name in the mailbox, left the deadbolt too Kept the piece that fit my thumb, not the part that fit you Kept the keyring Kept the keyring I gave back your key Kept the keyring Kept the keyring It’s riding with me Kept the keyring Kept the keyring You can have the front door Kept the keyring
