INDIGO GIRLS - Ghost Of The Gang lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Jimmy died on his couch yesterday <br>

A friend of his ex wife called me to say <br>

He just gave it to God, slipped from the livin' <br>

With the bills pilin' up and a back that was givin' in <br>

<br>

It's been years since I've seen anyone <br>

Now I'm sittin' here, in the dark <br>

Stallin' out in my car <br>

Wishing I could bum a light <br>

From the ghost of the gang tonight <br>

<br>

Kathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train <br>

A midday suicide after a losing streak <br>

He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory <br>

I never called her, to say "I'm sorry my friend." <br>

It's been years, but I'm thinking about you <br>

And all of your tears <br>

And I'm sitting here in the dark <br>

Afraid to make a stupid call <br>

Wishing I could bum a light <br>

From the ghost of the gang tonight <br>

<br>

Tonight I'm gonna take that ride for the years we missed and the friends that died <br>

Sideswiped baby on the road somehow with a pack of dreams that just weren't allowed <br>

Maybe you're walking those halls all quiet and sad <br>

Or sitting in the dark all scared and mad <br>

Feel my hand reach across and don't forget <br>

Where you come from baby, 'cause there's truth in it <br>

<br>

Yeah we huddled against the cold in those days <br>

By the light of a fire in a pep-rally haze <br>

With the smoke and lives past, and a reason for livin' <br>

No matter how bad it got, we wouldn't give in to it <br>

It's been years, since I've seen anyone cry these tears now <br>

Sitting here in the dark, stalling out in my car <br>

Wishing I could bum a light <br>

From the ghost of the gang tonight<br>

<BR><BR>
