The Old Crowd

Sometimes I get to thinkin' 'bout days gone by

And I start cryin' every time

What I wouldn't give

if I could just relive

One day with those old friends of mine

No one ever planned it, but every day at four

We would get together at the corner candy store

We would just ignore the sign "No dancing allowed"

Oh wo yeah, I miss the old crowd

Sally was the funny one,

Sue wore the hippest clothes

Eddie was the wise guy, was always one of those

Johnny used to sing off-key before he was allowed

Oh wo yeah, I miss the old crowd

Well now, it's funny

when high school gets all through

Friendships always come to an end

Everybody tells you they'll keep in touch, yeah

But you don't see them again, oh no

It's not that I'm unhappy; I know I still have you

But I still think about those good times we knew

We were so carefree

and our thoughts were out loud

Oh wo yeah, I miss the old crowd

Yeah, I miss the old crowd
