Souvenir Waltz

I've got souvenirs
All shapes and size
With one, a promise
A return was on the rise

Now, I still buy them
Don't get me wrong
I just save them for someone
Who's there when I'm gone

Look up at the sky
Call down those stars
Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain
When it was all ours

Green country blues
Red state roll on
If I left tonight
I'd be there before dawn

But ain't a thing there
And time is my wealth
So until the minutes take me
Take care of yourself

Look up at the sky
Call down those stars
Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain
When it was all ours

We split the difference
We killed compromise
In love and in war
In the whites of your eyes

There was a vision
A soft golden pale
Like the fog of the morning
On the walls of a jail

Look up at the sky
Call down those stars
Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain
When it was all ours

It's a long time gone
It's a long time gone
It's a long time gone
It's a long time gone
