Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' townSome caught a freight, some caught a plane
Said find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
Guess they're right, it's wasting mineSome gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the bluesYou know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at 33
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long, you lose your lifeGot my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' townSome gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the bluesGot the blues, got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Good Time Charlie's got the bluesGot the blues, got the blues
