Everybody's gone away
I believe this time they're gone to stay
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 rain
They said, "This town will waste your time"
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

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

You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
You play around, you'll lose your wife
You play too long, you'll 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, some gotta lose
Good time, Charlie's got the blues
