Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues

(album: Play, Guitar Play - 1977)

Everybody's going 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 forty-three
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long you lose your life

I'm hoping time will 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
