Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town.
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasted mine.
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at forty-three
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long you lose your life.
I'm hopin' time will ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and setlle down
But everybody's leavin' town.
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
