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 your time
Guess they're right - it's wasting 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 thirty-three
You play around you lose your wife,
You play too long, you lose your life

Got my pills to ease the pain,
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love try and settle 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
