Astrodome

[Intro]
Listen to the old men talk about the good old days
And listen to the summer wind blowing through the trees

[Verse 1]
There was a time when every morning was a hope and a wonder
And every day was plans for shakin' up the world
And every night was crackling like the thunder
Full of oil field money and holy hell Houston girls
As I roll out on the ocean of cars on 610

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
Just me and you and all of them blue and faded memories
I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
And wonder whatever ever became of me

[Verse 2]
Take another drag on the cig that's gonna kill you
Take another drag from end-to-end on Main
Take another pull from the bottle, yeah but still you
Can't get away from how the days all feel the same
And how just woke up here and the world had a-moved along

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
Just me and you and all of them blue and faded memories
Hey I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
And wonder whatever ever became of me

[Verse 3]
All of them thing're still there if you look for them
Built up to the sky for all the world to see
Fallen tiles and dusty piles, the dreams of men
And the winners write down the lines of history
In the middle of the gleaming, shining, and rust and steel and stone

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
Just me and you and all of them blue and faded memories
Hey I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
And wonder whatever ever became of–
I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
Just me and you and all of them blue and faded memories
Hey I'm a-gonna go on down to sit in the Astrodome
And wonder whatever ever became of me
