Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics

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

Peak chart position # 9 in 1972

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 loseDanny O'Keefe - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues - http://motolyrics.com/danny-okeefe/good-time-charlies-got-the-blues-lyrics.html
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 thirty-three"
"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 (whistling to end)
