Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues
By Charlie Rich
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
Find the sunshine, Leave the rain?
They said this town's a waste time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine!
Some gotta win! Some gotta lose!
Good time Charlie's got the blues!
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You?re not a kid at thirty-three
You play around you'll lose your wife
You play too long you'll lose your life!
I?ve got my pills to ease the pain
Can?t find a friend to ease the rain
I know I should try and settle down
Everybody?s leaving town
Some gotta win! Some gotta lose!
Good time Charlie's got the blues!
Good time Charlie's got the blues!
