Danny O'Keefe - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues lyrics

rate me

Everybody's gone away, <br />

Said they're movin' to L.A.<br />

There's not a soul I know around, <br />

Everybody's leavin' town<br />

<br />

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane<br />

Find the sunshine, leave the rain<br />

They said this town will waste your time<br />

Guess they're right - it's wasting mine<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Some gotta win, some gotta lose<br />

Good Time Charlie's got the blues<br />

Good Time Charlie's got the blues<br />

<br />

You know my heart keeps tellin' me<br />

You're not a kid at thirty-three<br />

You play around you lose your wife, <br />

You play too long, you lose your life<br />

<br />

Got my pills to ease the pain, <br />

Can't find a thing to stop the rain<br />

I'd love t'try and settle down, <br />

But everybody's leavin' town<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

<br />

Some gotta win, some gotta lose<br />

Good Time Charlie's got the blues<br />

Good Time Charlie's got the blues</
