Text: Waylon Jennings. Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues.

Everybody's gone away
Since they're movin' to L.A.
There ain't a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town'll waste your mind
Must be right 'cause it's wasted mine

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

My old heart keeps telling me
There ain't no kid at thirty-three
Play around and lose your wife
You play too long and lose your life

I got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
Sometimes I'd like to try and settle down
But everybody's leavin' town

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