Everybody's gone away

Leave this town, not gonna stay-ay-ay-ay

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 rai-ai-ai-ain

They said this town

Will waste your time

I guess they're right

It's wastin' mine



Some gotta win

Some gotta lo-o-o-ose

Good Time Charlie's got the blues



You know my heart

Keeps tellin' me

You're not a kid

At thirty-three-ee-ee-ee

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 rai-ai-ai-ain

I'd love to try and settle down

But everybody's leavin' town



Some gotta win

Some gotta lo-o-o-ose

Good Time Charlie's got the blues
