"Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" by Danny O'Keefe

Everybodys goin away
Said theyre movin to LA
Theres not a soul I know around
Everybodys leavin town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
They said this towns a waste of time
I guess theyre right, its wastin mine

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues

Ya know my heart keeps tellin me
Youre not a kid at thirty-three
Ya play around, ya lose your wife
Ya play too long, you lose your life

I got my pills to ease the pain
Cant find a thing to ease the rain
Id love to try and settle down
But everybodys leavin town

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues
Good time Charlies got the blues
