Buck Owens - I Always Get A Souvenir lyrics

rate me

I'm not stamp collector but I've got a hobby too

Bringin' home a souvenir trinkets old and new

Feathers from a rooster fight a whistle from a fair

I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there

Well I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown

A nugget from a stream of gold and a red nose from a clown

A horseshoe from a rodeo a claw from a bear

Well I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there

I always get a souvenir everywhere I go

Well I've got some little something from every girl I know

I pair of fuzzy bobby socks a lock of curly hair

I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there

[ guitar ]

Well I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car

Well I've even got a G string from Gene Sheppard's guitar

I've collected everything soap to silverware

I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there

Well now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt

Well you can tell I've been there by the notches on my belt

Yes I've collected different things from every love affair

I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there

I've got a fine collection but you're my pride and joy

You're the one I like the best you make me a happy boy

To trade you for a million things hon I wouldn't dare

Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir
