I used to have his "Souvenir" CD back in the day, but could not listen to it without getting misty eyed. But you are right, he has songs that are just stories and happy songs too, because....it's a big old goofy world.

All the snow has turned to water
Christmas days have come and gone
Broken toys and faded colors
Are all that's left to linger on
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
Of my childhood souvenirs
