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
