Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jimmy died on his couch yesterday A friend of his ex-wife called me to say He just gave it to God and slipped from the livin' With bills pilin' up and a back that was givin' in [Chorus] And it's been years Since I've seen anyone And now I'm just sittin' here in the dark Stallin' out in my car Wishin' I could bum a light From the ghost of the gang tonight [Verse 2] Cathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train In a mid-day suicide after a losin' streak He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory I never called her to say I'm sorry [Chorus] My friend, it's been years But I'm thinkin' about you and all of your tears And I'm sittin' here in the dark Afraid to make a stupid call Wishin' I could bum a light From thе ghost of the gang tonight [Bridge] Tonight I'm gonna take that ride For thе years we missed and the friends that died Side-swiped baby on the road somehow With a pack of dreams that just weren't allowed Maybe you're walkin' those halls all quiet and sad Sittin' in the the dark all scared and mad Feel my hand reach across and don't forget Where you come from baby, 'cause there's truth in it [Verse 4] Yeah, we huddled against the cold in those days By the light of a fire in a pep rally haze With a smokin' lounge pass and a reason for livin' No matter how bad it got, we wouldn't give in to it [Chorus] And it's been years Since I've seen anyone and cried these tears Now I'm sittin' here in the dark Stallin' out in my car Wishin' I could bum a ride From the ghost of the gang tonight [Outro] Ghost of the gang tonight
