Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' 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 will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasted mine.
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
Good time Charlie's got the blues. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/conway_twitty/good_time_charlies_got_the_blues.html ]
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at forty-three
You play around you lose your wife
You play too long you lose your life.
I'm hopin' time will ease the pain
Can't find a thing to ease the rain
I'd love to try and setlle 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.
The music business back then was up and down, nashville was dyin, people got nervous went west to l. A. Some stayed behind to try settling down and hoping things picked up, you get the blues when thing go sour, i'm a musician/vocalist nearin 60, looking to jump back into the fray.
