| Lyrics |
No doubt the new ballpark's gonna be perfect
Best of each vintage all rolled into one
They'll never call this old park one of the greatest
Nor complain real loud when its playin days are done
But when I dream of baseball
It's always set here
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
When I dream of baseball
It'll always be set here
Climbing up winding steep ramps never ending
But halfway up there is that first glimpse of green
On a field spread so gracefully it was no wonder
That one graceful fielder grew after another
Six shining shortstops
One third baseman sublime
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
When I dream of baseball
It'll always be set here
Was there ever a roar like the roar in this horseshoe
When the Colts broke their huddle and set each fist down
The crowd was one heartbeat in the cold twilight drizzle
All eyes a-lighted on that fertile ground
Where 19 dropped back, 82 cut left24 broke clear
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
Gonna miss you Memorial Stadium
All my dreams of football
Will always be set here
Cramped under these rafters you can't see the high flies
But everyone runs here whenever it rains
And out past the low fence there's no skyline, just sky
You could see all the way to Pennsylvania
And a bird spreads its wings
On the orange horizon
I miss you Memorial Stadium
I miss you Memorial Stadium
When I dream of baseball
It'll always be set there
