"The Old Gang's Gone" lyrics

The Old Gang's Gone

The old gang's gone
I'm the only one that's left
And I guess that it's about time
I moved on out myself

Cause there ain't no use in hanging around
A town that's grown so cold
With its used-to-be's and memories
It makes a man feel old

My friends have wed and some are dead
And some are far away
From the part of town we ran around
And the fun of yesterday

The old gang's gone
I'm the only one that's left
And I guess that it's about time
I moved on out myself

Johnny Green's in Jacksonville
He's a doctor now you know
And Shaky Sam's in Vietnam
He volunteered to go

Cindy lives in Tennessee
And Mary moved to Maine
Oh, I don't guess I'll ever see
The likes of them again

The old gang's gone
I'm the only one that's left
And I guess that it's about time
I moved on out myself

The old gang's gone
I'm the only one that's left
And I guess that it's about time
I moved on out myself
