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 Charlie's got the blues
Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
You play around you'll lose your wife
You play too long you'll lose your life
I got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease 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
