Souvenirs — текст песни (Suzy Bogguss)

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

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
