    C                     Dm 
I'm down to one key in my pocket
  F           G          C  
A bus station locker downtown,
    G                        C          Am
The soles of my shoes are as thin as my wallet
  Dm                         G
I been sleeping close to the ground

    C                    Dm
But buried up here in my memory
     F            G           C 
Is a head full of living room hits
  G                       C          Am 
I wrote about Thelma when we were an item
    F           G             C  
And I was worth more than two bits

        F                     C
So i'll sing you a song about Thelma
       G                 C
If you have a quarter to spare
   G                     C         Am
If you had the time or a bottle of wine
     Dm                  G
That you'd be willing to share
    F                     C
And later I'll show you a picture
   G                        C  
Of Thelma when she's in her prime
   G                  C                  Am   
If you want to see, Mister, I've got the key
        Dm          G            C
And the bus station locker takes dimes


I had me a band in the 60's
"Ladies Texas Outlaw"
Thelma could sing so we moved nashville
And in '68, she got hot
A high flyin' record producer 
Told Thelma he'd make her a star
He wined her and dined her and stole her away
And left me with my old guitar

She died last year on my birthday
The day that I turned 65
Most have forgotten including her fans
But I'm keeping her memory alive
Cause I've got this key in my pocket
I've had since '72
I've built her a shrine in that locker downtown 
And i think she'd be pleased if she knew


So I'll sing you a song about Thelma
If you have a quarter to spare
If you have the time or a bottle of wine
And you'd be willing to share
Later I'll show you a picture
Of thelma when she's in her prime
If you wanna see mr i've got the key
And the bus station locker takes dimes
if you wanna see, Mister, I've got the key
And the bus station locker takes dimes
