about

This song celebrates the bond of friendship that's built on common ground and lasts a lifetime. When we gather together, we share the same old stories with great delight.

lyrics

This one comes to visit - every now and then
That one served overseas - was never seen again
This one raised a family - they live far away
That one sees her mom and dad - almost every day
*The old gang
Built on common ground, friends lost and found
The old gang
Our memories get better when we gather together
The old gang

This one drives a logging truck - lives just down the road
That one is an engineer - writes computer code
This one's fighting fires - and that one is a nurse
And this one's a musician - guess it could be worse
*The old gang . . .

The older the old gang gets
There's more to remember, more to forget
And the older the old gang gets
The more we forgive, the less we regret

We've had many ups and downs - been through thick and thin
And over the years - seen the losses and the wins
Memories get better - the older we get
There's so much to remember - ever since we met
*The old gang . . .
