Good-Time Charlie's Got the Blues

Everybody's gone away

I believe this time they're gonna stay

There's not a soul I know around

Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught the freight

Some caught a plane

Find the sunshine, leave the rain

They said this town'll waste your 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 forty-three

Play around, you lose your wife

Play too long, you lose your life

Got my pills to ease the pain

Can't find a thing to help the rain

I'd love to try and settle down

But everybody's leaving town

Some gotta win, some gotta lose

Good-Time Charlie's got the blues

Good-Time Charlie's got the blues
