Everybody's gone away said they're movin' to LA
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 say this town'll waste your mind
Must be right cause it's wastin' mine
Some got to win some got to lose good time Charlie's got the blues
[ dobro ]
My heart keeps telling me there 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
Soimetimes I'd like to try and settle down but everybody's leavin' town
Some got to win some got to lose good time Charlie's got the blues
