Lock The Door & Hide The Key
$0.90
This driving, old-school Chicago swing blues number delivers pure character and grit, built around a rolling piano groove, wailing blues harmonica, and a classic guitar solo that keeps the energy high from top to tail. The lyric tells a sharp, humorous breakup story with vintage swagger — a fed-up narrator finally cutting loose from a bad romance — brought to life through memorable call-and-response refrains and crowd-ready hooks like “lock the door and hide the key.” With its timeless blues feel, strong personality, and built-in live appeal, the song is tailor-made for audience participation.

Lock The Door & Hide The Key
Stevie J Mayer
Well your mama tell me you’re no good
She say you don’t come home all night
Yeah your mama tell me you’re no good
She say you don't come home all night
If you don’t come home tonight baby
I'm gonna be on that morning flight
That’s right
Yeah it’s high time little darlin’
You let me know what’s goin’ down
Yeah it’s high time little darlin’
I'm sick and tired of waitin' round
I’ve come to this conclusion
There's gonna be one less fool in town
So I'm ready for the airport, I've hailed a taxi cab
She comes runnin' over, all in tears and lookin' sad
She says “Baby don’t you leave me
I’ll treat you right my honey-bee”
And like a damn fool I believe her
Lock the door and hide the key
So the moral of this story, is simple as can be
If you want an apple, don't buy a lemon tree
It’s high time little baby
I’m through with you mistreating me
(yeah I’m through with you mistreating me)
I was a damn fool to believe ya
Lock the door and hide the key
Lock the door and hide the key
(lock the door and hide the key)
I’m through with you mistreatin’ me
(lock the door and hide the key)
There’s somewhere else I wanna be
(lock the door and hide the key)
With someone else who’s good to me
(lock the door and hide the key)
I was a damn fool to believe ya
Lock the door and hide the key
Oh, come on
Ooh, I was a damn fool to believe ya
Lock the door and hide the key
Ooh yeah, get on home girl
Stay away from me
Someone loves ya somewhere… ha!
