Everybody's go
ne away.
I believe this
time they're
gonna stay *
There's not a
soul I know ar
ound.
Everybody's le
aving' town!
Some caught a
freight. Some
caught a plane
.
Find the sunsh
ine, leave the
rain?
They said "Thi
s town will wa
ste your time"
.
I guess they'r
e right, it's
wasting mine!
Some gotta win
! Some gotta l
ose!
Good time Cha
rlie's got the
blues!
You know my he
art keeps tell
ing me,
You're not a k
id at thirty-t
hree.
You play aroun
d you'll lose
your wife.
You play too l
ong you'll los
e your life!
I've got my pi
lls to ease th
e pain,
Can't find a t
hing to ease t
he rain.
I know I shoul
d try and sett
le down.
Everybody's le
aving town.
Some gotta win
! Some gotta l
ose!
Good time Cha
rlie's got the
blues!
Good time Cha
rlie's got the
blues!
