[Verse 1]
Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin to L.A
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town

[Verse 2]
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Found the sunshine, leave the rain
They said this town will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

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

[Verse 3]
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around, you'll lose your wife
You play it too long you'll lose your life

[Chorus][x2]
