(danny o'keefe) |
|
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 |
|
Said find the sunshine leave the rain |
|
They say this town will waste your time |
|
Guess they're right -- it's wasting mine |
|
Chorus: |
|
Some gotta win, some gotta lose |
|
Good time charlie's got the blues |
|
Good time charlie's got the blues |
|
Y'know my heart keeps tellin' me |
|
You're not a kid at 33 |
|
Y'play around y'lose your wife, |
|
Y'play too long, you lose your life |
|
Got my pills t'ease the pain, |
|
Can't find a thing to stop the rain |
|
I'd love t'try and settle down, |
|
But everybody's leavin' town |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
|
Got the blues, got the blues |
|
Got the blues, got the blues |
|
Good time charlie's got the blues |
