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 Bible?, 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
