Story Behind The Song
i was with a guy that i knew didn't need to be with me and i kept leaving him and going back to him and he kept letting me back in and i just wanted someone to stop the madness.
i was driving down a six lane highway in atlanta, georgia when this melody and words hit me. i pulled my pen and paper out and wrote this as i was driving about 85 mph thru traffic. i didn't want to stop the flow.

Lyrics
(c)arh/ASCAP
Spare Set of Keys
I locked the door behind you boy, and i screamed go away.
please!
but you come a knockin' and cryin' you love and you get down on your knees.
and as long as your knockin and cryin' and down on your knees,
i'll go a lookin' and a searchin' for my Spare Set of Keys.
Spare Set of Keys
to my heart,
yes, my heart that you break everytime.
Spare Set of Keys
that unlocks my house of pain.
Good Lord the pain.
but as long as your knockin' and cryin' and down on your knees i'll go a lookin' and a searchin' for my
Spare Set of Keys.
Done told you once. I'll tell you again. you ain't my lover and baby, you ain't my friend.
now listen boy. won't you leave me alone.
and as long as your knockin and cryin' and down on your knees,
i'll go a lookin' and a searchin' for my Spare Set of Keys.
