Knight, Chris - Leaving Souvenirs Lyrics






I had a '69 Impala
I bought it from my Dad
I gave him three hundred dollars
It gave me all it had
All after all that old car went through
You'd think I'd still have you

It always bought us home alright
It knew every curve in the road
It gave us shelter from the night
When we had no gas to go
We always found plenty to do
When you loved me and I loved you

The other day I seen that car
In a heap of rust by the old man's barn
I hadn't thought of it in years
But you still cross my mind
And all that we left behind
And we were leaving souvenirs

Now the car won't start
And I had to pry the door
Among the salvage parts
Up on the dashboard
There was a red ribbon on your hair
And I remember the night that you put it there

The other day I seen that car
In a heap of rust by the old man's barn
I hadn't thought of it in years
But you still cross my mind
And all that we left behind
And we were leaving souvenirs
When we were leaving souvenirs

    There's quite a few good songwriters, then there are a few great ones, and then there is the pantheon of songwriting gods. Here in the hall of holies, you'll find Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Dylan, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Kristofferson, etc.; and I'll be damn if I don't believe Chris Knight hasn't written himself into immortality in a few short years. This guy just keeps penning quality songs that make you go, "Damn, how'd he say that much with so few words!" Thanks for the gift, Kentucky!

    J.... B....

    Amen, Jeff!

  7. K.... A....

    Good bands/performers always sound better live.

    Was fortunate enough to see Chris in Lincoln last week. Very rarely do people sound BETTER live but somehow he does. Support him, dudes a dyin breed.
