Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues

(album: Under The Covers - 1997)

Everybody's gone away,
Said they're moving to L.A.
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 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

[Instrumental]

Y'know my heart keeps telling 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 leaving 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
Got the blues, got the blues
