Bobby Bare - The Old Gang's Gone lyrics

The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left And I guess that it's about time I move on out myself. 'Cause there ain't no use in hangin' round 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 move 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 move 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 move on out myself... [Narrative by Bobby spoken after song:] (He's down at the old swimmin' hole) Well I live in the city too now but I'm still a country boy at heart I keep saying someday I'll go back but I know I never will It wouldn't be the same anyway
