good time charlie's got the blues

hey everybody's gone away

they said they're movin to l.a

there's not a soul i know around

everybody's leavin' town

some caught a plane

some caught a train

can't find no sunshine

just the rain

oh lord

i love to settle down

everybody's leavin' town

some gotta win

some gotta lose

hey

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 got my pills to ease my pain

ain't worried about the sunshine or the rain

someday i just might settle down

but right now

i'm gonna do my runnin' around

some gotta win

some gotta lose

good time killer's got the blues
