Souvenirs of pioneers
Proof that the West was won
These rotten beams will tumble down
Replaced by the newer ones
Weren't we fine gunfighters in another time?
Were we celebrated writers after the war?
After the war
And history repeats itself
But I don't know what for
I've got all these souvenirs
But I can't seem to find you anymore
Souvenir (now you're gone, now you're gone)
You were here (I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on)
How does it feel (after I'm gone)
To be the ghost in the picture as it disappears?

Souvenirs of privateers
Our black flag in the sun
Was taken down and passed around
And put in a museum
Weren't we fat cat tycoons of the gilded age
In flower children costumes in the bay
And high as a summer day?
And history repeats itself
But I don't know what for
I've got all these souvenirs
But I can't seem to find you anymore
Souvenir (now you're gone, now you're gone)
You were here (I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on)
How does it feel (after I'm gone)
To be the ghost in the picture as it disappears?
Our past is a foreign country
The neighborhoods have changed
I was the fool who got lucky
You were the fool who flew straight
