Do You Remember When

[Verse 1]
Places that used to stand outside of town
Sit in the shadows of those lookin' down
Progress has made its way out to the end
Of our city limits and started again

[Verse 2]
Folks might still waltz around dusty dancefloors
But three-quarter time's never played anymore
And shameless promotions may get the place full
So drunk girls can ride a mechanical bull

[Chorus]
Adiós
Givin' up ghost
I guess that it always has been
Headed this way
Where all we can say
Is "Do you remember when?"

[Verse 3]
Everyone talks about good old dancehalls
They make for the tourist traps and shoppin' malls
Oh, how I wish this was all a bad dream
We'd wake up and Bob Wills would still the the king

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Adiós
Givin' up ghost
I guess that it always has been
Headed this way
Where all we can say
Is "Do you remember when?"

[Verse 4]
Who would have 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

[Chorus]
Adiós
Givin' up ghost
I guess that it always has been
Headed this way
Where all we can say
Is "Do you remember when?"

[Outro]
Oh, are we bound for the day
Where all we can say
Is "Do you remember when?"?
Remember when?
