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 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
