Lyrics:

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
To find the sunshine, leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
Well, I 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 forty-three
You play around, you lose your wife
If you play too long, you'll lose your life

Well, I got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
Well, 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
