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's a waste time

I guess they're right, it's wasting mine.



Some gotta win, some gotta lose

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'll lose your wife

You play too long you'll lose your life.



I?ve got my pills to ease the pain

Can?t find a friend to ease the rain

I know I should try and settle down

Everybody?s leaving town.



Some gotta win, some gotta lose

Good time Charlie's got the blues.

Good time Charlie's got the blues...
