Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues by Willie Nelson Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1984

[Verse 1]
Everybody's gone away
Said they're moving to LA
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leaving town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
They said this town will waste your time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

[Chorus]
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues

[Verse 2]
You know my heart keeps telling me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
You 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
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leaving town
[Chorus]
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some got to win, some got to lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
