Buck Owens

Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr. (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006), better known as Buck Owens, was an American singer and guitarist who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band, the Buckaroos. They pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound—a reference to Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call American music. more »

I'm not stamp collector but I've got a hobby too
Bringin' home a souvenir trinkets old and new
Feathers from a rooster fight a whistle from a fair
I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
Well I've got a piece of silky thread from bashful Mary's gown
A nugget from a stream of gold and a red nose from a clown
A horseshoe from a rodeo a claw from a bear
Well I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
I always get a souvenir everywhere I go
Well I've got some little something from every girl I know
I pair of fuzzy bobby socks a lock of curly hair
I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
[ guitar ]
Well I took a burned out piston from a winning racer car
Well I've even got a G string from Gene Sheppard's guitar
I've collected everything soap to silverware
I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
Well now I'm not bragging when I say with women I have dealt
Well you can tell I've been there by the notches on my belt
Yes I've collected different things from every love affair
I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there
I've got a fine collection but you're my pride and joy
You're the one I like the best you make me a happy boy
To trade you for a million things hon I wouldn't dare
Cause you and me are gonna get me another souvenir
