Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues    (Danny O'Keefe)

Everybody's gone away
I believe this time they're gonna stay
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 say this town will 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

You know my heart keeps telling me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around and you lose your wife
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

Some gotta win..

Chris Hillman  "Morning Sky"   1982
