Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam

Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Said find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
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 tellin' me
You're not a kid at 33
You play around you lose your wife

You play too long, you lose your life

Got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' 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

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
