Souvenirs lyrics

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

'Coz 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...
