Good Time Charley's Got The Blues

(album: Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza - 2018)

Everybody's going away
Said they're gone this time to stay
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's a waste of 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

Ya know my heart keeps telling 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 walk the streets to ease the pain
Won't do 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
Good time Charlie's got the blues
