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 piling up and a back that was givin' in.
It's been years since I've seen anyone. Now I'm just sitting here in the dark Stalling out in my car. Wishing I could bum a light From the ghost of the gang tonight.
Kathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train In a mid-day suicide, after a losing streak He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory. I never called her to say I'm sorry, my friend.
It's been years But I'm thinking about you and all of your tears And I'm sitting here in the dark Afraid to make a stupid call Wishing I could bum a light From the ghost of the gang tonight
Tonight I'm gonna take that ride For the years we missed and the friends that died. Sideswiped baby on the road somehow With a pack of dreams that just weren't allowed.
Maybe you're walking those halls all quiet and sad Or sitting in the the dark all scared and mad. Feel my hand reach across and don't forget Where we come from baby cause there's truth in it.
Yeah, we huddled against the cold in those days By the light of the fire in a pep rally haze With a smoking lounge pass and a reason for living. No matter how bad it got, we wouldn't give in to it.
It's been years Since I've seen anyone and cried these tears. Now I'm just sitting here in the dark Stalling out in my car. Wishing I could bum a ride From the ghost of the gang tonight.
