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 left

24 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
