--- Start Of Good Time Charlies Got The Blues Lyrics ---


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

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues

You know my heart keeps tellin me
Youre not a kid at thirty-three
You play around youll lose your wife
You play too long youll lose your life

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues

BREAK

I got my pills to ease the pain
Cant find a thing to ease the rain
Id love to try and settle down
But everybodys leaving town

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues
