Lyric Souvenirs

I set out like Kerouac in my
American car
Carryin a dream and a
road map
Deep in my American heart
But 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 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
And sooner or later, mark my words
You know they re gonna get you
____
I ve been searchin 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 dimestore
ring,turns my finger green
I don t want your dimestore love
I want the real thing
