Lyrics

Everybody's gone away Says they're movin' to LA There ain't a soul I know around Everybody's leavin' town Some caught a freight, some caught a plane Find the sunshine, leave the rain They say this town'll waste your mind Must be right, 'cause it's wastin' mine Some got to win, some got to lose Good time Charlie's got the blues My whole heart keeps tellin' me There ain't no kid at thirty-three Play around, you lose your wife You play too long, you lose your life I got my pills to ease the pain Can't find a thing to ease the rain Sometimes I'd like to try and settle down But everybody's leavin' town Some got to win, some got to lose Good time Charlie's got the blues
