Do You Remember When

Places that used to stand outside of town

Sit in the shadows of those looking down

Progress has made it's way out to the end

Of our city limits and started again

Folks may still waltz around dusty dance floors

But three quarter time's never played anymore

And shameless promotions may get the place full

So drunk girls can ride a mechanical bull

Adios, a given up ghost

I guess that it always has been

Hate it this way but all he can say

Is do you remember when?

Everyone talks about good old dance halls

Then make for the tourist traps and shopping malls

Oh, how I wish this was all a bad dream

We'd wake up and Bob Wills would still be the king

Adios, a given up ghost

I guess that it always has been

Hate it this way but all he can say

Is do you remember when?

Who would've thought it could happen so fast?

The reckless abandonment of all our past

In one generation, forget who we are

So let's talk politics and religion in bars

Adios, a given up ghost

I guess that it always has been

Hate it this way but all he can say

Is do you remember when?

Are we bound for the day where all we can say

Is do you remember when?

Remember when?
