"A Song For He Who Knows This Is For Him..."

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues"

Everybody's gone away

Said they're moving to L.A.

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'll 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

Good time Charlie's got the blues

You know my heart keeps telling me

You're not a kid at thirty-three

You play around, you lose your wife

You 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 leavin' town

Some gotta win, some gotta lose

Good time Charlie's got the blues

Good time Charlie's got the blues
