Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues

by Harry Manx & Kevin Breit

on Jubilee (2003)

Everybody's goin' away
In this town ain't gonna stay
Ain't no a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
Said this town's gonna waste your time
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Mess around gonna lose your wife
Mess too long you lose your life

You got your pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
Yeah you love to settle down
Everybody's leavin' town

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
