Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues
Danny O'Keefe
Everybody's gone away
They 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 say this town will waste your time
I guess they're right, it's wasted 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 telling me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around you lose your wife
You play too hard and lose your life
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
