everybody’s goin’ away
said they’re movin’ to la
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’s a waste of time
i guess they’re right it’s wastin’ mine
some gotta win some gotta lose
good time charlie’s got the blues
good time charlie’s got the blues
ya know my heart keeps tellin’ me
you’re not a kid at thirtythree
ya play around ya lose your wife
ya play too long you 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 leavin’ town
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
