Intro

 

Verse 1

Everybody's gone away, said they're moving to LA.
There ain't a soul I know around, everybody's
leaving 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 wasting mine.

Chorus

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

Interlude

      

Verse 2

My old heart keeps telling me, you ain't no kid at
thirty-three.
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.
Sometimes I'd like to try and settle down, but everybody's
leaving town.

Chorus

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

Outro
