[Verse 1: Stadium-rock female lead, belted powerful, massive hard drums] Yellow paper on my door, the landlord changed the lock Everything I own is in a duffel and a box I got a key to Benny's gym, it's open all night long So I sleep behind the squat rack with the speaker playin' songs Every mornin' at four-thirty I am up before the crowd Chalk my hands and load the bar and nobody's around State meet is in seven weeks, the record's stood for years And I'm pressin' in the dark like I got nothin' left to fear [Pre-Chorus: Stadium-rock female lead, belted, heavy bass] They took the key, they took the door, they took the bed I kept But they can't take the weight off me, it's the one thing I have left [Chorus: Stadium-rock female lead, huge chest voice, wide loud guitars] They locked me out, so I lock it out Arms straight, plates up, no doubt Every door that closed on me is on this bar right now They locked me out, so I lock it out [Verse 2: Stadium-rock female lead, harder, massive hard drums] State meet in the arena and the bleachers full of noise Every girl up on the platform got a coach and got a voice I got Benny in a folding chair and chalk across my jeans And a duffel by the stairwell holdin' every single thing Last attempt and it's the record and they load it on the bar Judges lean in for the lockout and they wanna see how far [Pre-Chorus: Stadium-rock female lead, belted, heavy bass] They took the key, they took the door, they took the bed I kept But they can't take the weight off me, it's the one thing I have left [Chorus: Stadium-rock female lead, huge chest voice, wide loud guitars] They locked me out, so I lock it out Arms straight, plates up, no doubt Every door that closed on me is on this bar right now They locked me out, so I lock it out [Bridge: Stadium-rock female lead, belted, heavy bass] Halfway up it stalls, the whole arena holds its air And I see the duffel and the gym floor and the chair And the yellow paper on the door and the man who changed the key Then my elbows lock like doors, and the doors belong to me [Final Chorus: Stadium-rock female lead, snare drive, huge chest voice, wide loud guitars] They locked me out, so I lock it out Arms straight, plates up, no doubt Every door that closed on me is on this bar right now They locked me out, so I lock it out [Outro: Stadium-rock female lead, belted, massive hard drums] Three white lights and Benny screamin' in his chair Got a new key in my pocket and a record up there [End]
