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
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this town's will waste their time
I 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
Play around you'll lose your wife
You play it too long you'll lose your life


* Repeat
Good time Charlie's got the blues


* Repeat
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Da da da da etc.
