This old coffee mug
Bought in '93
On the night I was born
And my papa first held me
From a small gift shop
On the second floor
Seven ninety-five
And not a cent more
I try to carry it with me
No matter where I am
It's just another souvenir
Of my life
Just another piece of me
And the time slipped by
All the lessons I have learned
Along the way
These souvenirs, I carry every day
These cufflinks here
Livin' on my wrists
May not seem like much
But there's a story to them
That picture you see
That's my mama's dad
May not have made it that day
But they remember him
I try to carry them with me
No matter where I am
It's just another souvenir
Of my life
Just another piece of me
And the time slipped by
All the lessons I have learned
Along the way
These souvenirs, I carry every day
I don't wanna let go of the little things
They're part of who I am and where I've been
Reminding me every single day
They swallow the pain and help light the way
It's just another souvenir
Of my life
Just another piece of me
And the time slipped by
All the lessons I have learned
Along the way
These souvenirs, I carry every day
All these souvenirs, I carry every day
