Indigo Girls - Ghost Of The Gang lyrics

Your rating:

Jimmy died on his couch yesterday 

A friend of his ex wife called me to say 

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

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



It's been years since I've seen anyone 

Now I'm sittin' here, in the dark 

Stallin' 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 

A midday 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 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 



Yeah we huddled against the cold in those days 

By the light of a fire in a pep-rally haze 

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

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

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

Sitting here in the dark, stalling out in my car 

Wishing I could bum a light 

From the ghost of the gang tonight
