Good Time Charlie`s Got The Blues Lyrics

Good Time Charlie`s Got The Blues

(Danny O'Keefe)

 

 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

 Said find the sunshine leave the rain

 They say this town will waste your time

 Guess they're right -- it's wasting mine

 

 Chorus:

 

 Some gotta win, some gotta lose

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues

 

 Y'know my heart keeps tellin' me

 You're not a kid at 33

 Y'play around y'lose your wife,

 Y'play too long, you lose your life

 

 Got my pills t'ease the pain,

 Can't find a thing to stop the rain

 I'd love t'try and settle down,

 But everybody's leavin' town

 Chorus:

 

 Some gotta win, some gotta lose

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues

 Got the blues, got the blues

 Got the blues, got the blues

 Good Time Charlie's got the blues
