Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics - Dwight Yoakam

(Words/music by 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 

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 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
