Hand Back the Keys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What made you think That gas station sushi Was the greatest idea On the way to the airport? Now I'm holding your hair And you've ruined your shoes And you're late for the flight That connects to Columbus [Verse 2] I can't wait here with you Got that old dog at home She's blind and half crazy Don't take kindly to strangers But she surely liked you And them peanut butter crackers You slipped under the table When you first came to visit [Chorus] Her tail just a-wagging I remember that day Now you hand back the keys And you're going away [Verse 3] If I was a gay man My troubles would be over I'd just date your cousin He's a nice enough fellow Damn that afternoon When he introduced us Your eyes just like magnets Your laughter like church bells [Verse 4] We talked until sunup The next thing I knew We were hauling that mattress That we bought together From the roof of your car Clear 'cross the avenue Scuffed up the edges When it dragged on the sidewalk [Chorus] Then up three flights of stairs To the end of the hall Now you hand back the keys Like that was nothing at all [Mandolin Solo] [Verse 5] Now you pat yourself down In a big wide-eyed panic Your ID and your tickets Your phone and your passport On top of the dresser You just now remembered So I take the next exit And I turn us around [Chorus] And we'll try this tomorrow Or the next day I'm free We'll call up the airline For a refund and see If they'll rebook that ticket Until then you'll need these
