Ghost Of The Gang - Indigo Girls
Written by：Amy Ray
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
Ghost of the gang
Ghost of the gang
Ghost of the gang tonight
Ghost of the gang
Ghost of the gang
Ghost of the gang
Ghost of the gang tonight
