Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues

(album: City Of New Orleans - 1984)

Everybody's gone away said they're moving to LA
There's not a soul I know around everybody's leaving 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 wasting 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 leaving town
Some gotta win some gotta lose good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
