[Verse 1] Everybodys gone away Said theyre movin to LA Theres not a soul I know around Everybodys leavin town Some caught a freight, some caught a plane Find the sunshine, leave the rain Say this towns a waste of time I guess theyre right, its wastin mine [Chorus] Some gotta win, some gotta lose Good time Charlies got the blues Good time Charlies got the blues [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] You know my heart keeps tellin me Youre not a kid at thirtythree You play around, you lose your wife You play too long, you lose your life I got my pills to ease the pain Cant find a thing to ease the rain Id love to try and settle down But everybodys leavin town [Chorus] Some gotta win, some gotta lose Good time Charlies got the blues Good time Charlies got the blues Good time Charlies got the blues
