Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Danny O' Keefe) 

Everybody's gone away 

Said they're movin' to LA 

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 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 heart keeps telling 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.
