"Souvenirs" lyrics
"Souvenirs"
Set out like Kerouac in my American car
Carrying a dream and a road map
Deep in my American heart
Where's those mountain majesties
Where's those waves of grain
Billboards from sea to shining sea, man it ain't the same
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup
Everybody needs one of those
For a dollar more they'll fill it up
You can drink out of Lincoln's nose
They got the Hard Rock t-shirts, they got Elvis too
Sooner or later, mark my words, they're gonna get you
Well, I've been searching for the promised land
But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here
I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs
Baby, I believed in you, I thought you believed in me
I thought we had a love that's true, not a close facsimile
Now I don't want your dime store ring
It turns my finger green
I don't want your dime store love, I want the real thing
'Cause I've been searching for the promised land
But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all we got here
I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs
Souvenirs
Little tin toys that fall apart
Souvenirs
I come all this way to find my heart
Souvenirs...

Kathy Mattea - "You're The Power" Shining like a beacon through the darkest night
You're the only light that leads me home
Home is where the fire burns, so warm and bright
Long as I have you, I'll never roam
Our paths may wander on...
Trisha Yearwood - "On A Bus To St. Cloud" On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
And once on a street in New York City
With the jazz and the sin in the air...
Gretchen Wilson - "Into The Mystic" We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit...
LeAnn Rimes - "Blue" Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes
'Til I can't see
Three o'clock in the morning
Here am I
Sitting here so lonely
So lonesome...
K.T. Oslin - "You Call Everybody Darling" Though you're always waxing sentimental
Your sweet words are all I ever hear
You don't really give a continental
Honey, deep down in your heart you're not sincere
'Cause you call everybody Darling...
