Everybody's gone away   Said they're moving 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'll waste your 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      You know my heart keeps telling me   You're not a kid at thirty-three   You play around, you lose your wife   You 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
