Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues

Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues
Song by Danny O'Keefe

Everybody's goin' away
I believe this time they're going to stay
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

You know my heart keeps tellin' me
"You're not a kid at 33
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
