Skeleton Key

[Verse 1]
I haven't met a locked door yet that I couldn't beat
On a chain around my neck I keep my skeleton key

[Chorus]
Don't waste your worry on me, I always find what I need
Come and go as I please, I've got my skeleton key

[Verse 2]
By now it's just a simple trick
Not much to see, you hear the tumblers catch and click
Then turn the key
But I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
Cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Along the way
The old men call me by mother's name
She looked just the same, they say
The children wave
Or hide behind their mother's skirts afraid
Strangers here still seem strange
They hear the accent, know I'm from nowhere near
But I speak the language and I know the customs here
I come from over the horizon, pass through every dozen years
Go home, tell of my arrival, the skeleton key's here

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I've got my
My skeleton, my skeleton key
I've got my, got my, got my
My skeleton, my skeleton key, yeah

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Don't you go waste all your worry on me
Cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
