Jennings, Waylon - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics






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.

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
Sometimes 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.

    ‘70‘s, first radio bought w/my own $$ (started working when I was 12). Summer of ‘75-‘76 one of my friends turned me on to country music. We were all into Hendrix, Zappa & Grand Funk, or southern rock at the time. At home it was everything from Frank Sinatra to Motown. Then ol’ Tommy boy says one day, Hey girl check this out. It was Waylon Jennings. I was hooked! I still like ALL genres, but Country is my preference. It just always takes me back home. I grew up in a town where everybody knew each other & kids roamed free, no one locked their doors, and there was always room at my moms table f/anybody needin a meal. God I miss those days & our southern ways. Miss my momma, keggers on the farm, & my old hound too😉💞🌹
