(danny o'keefe)



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



Chorus:



Some gotta win, some gotta lose

Good time charlie's got the blues

Good time charlie's got the blues



Y'know my heart keeps tellin' 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 leavin' 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
