| Everybody’s goin' away
|
| Said they’re gone this time to stay
|
| 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 of time
|
| I guess they’re right, it’s wastin' mine
|
| Some gotta win, some gotta lose
|
| Good time Charlie’s got the blues
|
| Good time Charlie’s got the blues
|
| Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
|
| «You're not a kid at thirty-three»
|
| «Ya play around, ya lose your wife»
|
| «Ya play too long, you lose your life»
|
| I walk the streets to ease the pain
|
| Won’t do a thing to ease the rain
|
| 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
|
| Good time Charlie’s got the blues |
