question from mrs bixxx, does anyone know where i can find the song souviners? not sure if thats the title, first verse goes, someone wants a peice of you never let um pay, what they do not give you time takes anyway, thought i know what love was worth , could have saved some tears, might have come in handy, like souviners, help, its driving me crazy. and yes that was the guy behind me who peed in a cup and the show and got escorted out, he put it right next to my beer under my seat, good thing i noticed it looked funny, as always an adventure . thanks for the help, mrs bixxx

It's on the CD Margaritaville Cafe Late Night Menu. Looks like there are some used copies on Amazon.com.

Well what I found you do have the name right. But it has never been played at a show and no album info on it either:

Souvenirs
Written by: Vince Melamed and Danny O'Keefe
Performed by: Jimmy Buffett
Peak Chart Position: Billboard Adult Comtemporary: #29;

Lyrics:
Someone wants a piece of you
Never let 'em pay
What you do not give them
Time takes anyway
Had I known what love is worth
I could have saved the tears
Might have come in handy
Like souvenirs

I didn't see her comin'
'Til my head turned in surprise
Thinking I must know her
But it was her thin disguise
She padded up her innocence
And tightly cinched her fears
But she saved a little room
For souvenirs

Chorus
I still go to pieces
But I don't go as often
Placeless times in space
Where all the edges soften
She took me away
Where I couldn't send her
I knew that she would leave me
Something to remember

I wanted more than one
Until I found the one I wanted
Her memories are ghosts now
Though I'm still pretty haunted
What we gave each other
Ain't exactly clear
Probably comes under the heading
Of souvenirs

Pieces, bits, and pieces
Add up through the years
I've collected a small fortune
In souvenirs

* Damb not fast enough!

I have this CD, got it a long, long, long time ago. Fingers Taylor autographed the cover for me sometime in the 90's. It is the last song on the CD #20.

I could probably burn you a copy of the CD Bixx and send it to you.

I had this CD, 'til someone borrowed it and never returned it, along with my Johnny Clegg CDs.

Jim, that would be awesome if you would. A very special someone had sent that one to me a few years back and it got deleted off of my computer, would love to have it again.
