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 a 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.
A pair of fuzzy bobby socks, a lock of curly hair,
I always get a souvenir to prove that I was there.

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...
