Rich, Charlie - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Lyrics
Everybody's gone away
Said they're movin' to L.A
There's not a soul I know around
Everybody's leavin' town
Find the sunshine, Leave the rain?
They said this town's a waste time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine
Some gotta win! Some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
You play around you'll lose your wife
I've got my pills to ease the pain
Can't find a friend to ease the rain
I know I should try and settle down
Everybody's leaving town
Some gotta win! Some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Rich, Charlie Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues Comments
i agree i was about 9 years old i you to pick charlies songs on the jukebox in the bar
The Silver Fox💞🌹 He was such a beautiful man. And his voice was, well this is probably the second country song I’d ever heard (Waylon was first). I still have his cassettes!
Jeez, a great song.
Some of my all time best memories of my pops involve 🐎 tracks, french fries, fried chicken and Charlie Rich playing in the background. I miss him and this music helps alot.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs.
only the good die young, Mitch Mconnell will make 120
Always loved Charlie Rich great voice good song
Good effort. For me, the Elvis version is definitive but Charlie Rich is a class act and no mistake. A very credible performance.
he was such a classy singer , rest in peace my friend
He looks like Greg the Hammer Valentine
True man and true words
He could sing the phone book, and I'd likely love it. RIP Silver Fox.
Love Mr. Rich...Great Voice...The Silver Fox.....!!!! And this cover is as equally as good as DO'K but in respect to both men..!! & Elvis killed it also...chk it out
been awhile there charley. damn its been awhile
Charlie Rich was as real as one could b, and is still a true legend in the hearts of us all (No other singer/ song writer could even come close to being #1such as Charlie!!
Linda Thompson said Elvis would listen to Charlie Rich in his later life and Charlie was a regular visitor to Graceland too visit Elvis
Hes got a real nice voice hes fab
The silver fox..still love this old song !
RIP. Mama, Prissy, Dino,Harley, Big Daddy, Roho,Charlie Reardon and all that is gone...I miss yall so bad!!!
Is it the recording/sound quality, or is something funny going on with Charlie's voice here? It sounds awfully high for him.
Got My Pills To Ease The Pain!!!
Charlie Rich would have been 48 in 1980 and so I guess he was happier to sing the song as "You're not a kid at 43."
Some got Win ,some got loose so true..
It's "Some gotta win, some gotta lose"
One of my all time favourite singers.
Wow...what a flashback...thanks! Early 70's...I was just a kid...lived in Oregon...little town called Lowell. :)
Been through Lowell. I was a kid too. Still in Oregon ;-)
AWESOME PHRASING AND TONE.
He was famous to me, clint eastwood did to, well liked.
The Silver fox with a silver voice.
I like Charlie rich, but this song belongs to danny o'keefe.
I've heard both. I used to think that this song belonged to Danny for the longest time. No one could hold a candle to him. But then I started listening to Charlie's version over and over, and now I prefer Charlie's version to Danny's. Just saying, everybody has their own preference and likes. This is mine.
rpetrics ok buddy. to each his own. hey, great song anyway you slice it.
You got that right!
John Jarou. I'm not here to say otherwise but I really love Charley crocketts version. Look it up if you have a moment.
beautiful song!
😎👍🆒❣️👍👍🎼🎵🎶🎼🔊🔊📢📢🎶🎶🔉SO GENIAL!!!
Darn what a good looking man !!!
Reminds of his hit " Rollin With The Flow
loved his music!!!!
Can't beat the Silver Fox.
Yea, it only took 20 years to be an instant success.
The Pride of Colt, Arkansas.
The Silver Fox....Loved his Style
wow- this is a first on this song for - saw charley in early seventies- wow he sure looks good-
The Best, RIP
I love Charlie too, but in my opinion Johnny Cash is the best. May they they both RIP though.
Kenny Dobbins Johnny Cash couldn't sing his way out of a paper bag in my opinion! Which all is intitled to their own opinion,even if it stinks!! LOL
Just kidding! Jerry Lee Lewis,Mickey Gilley,Charlie Rich! From The fifties,to the nineties is when the best music was made,and will never be topped! They'res still some that has it,but you gotta look hard! When you do hear one,it's much easier to appreciate! I'm so glad I grew up listening to the best music! From Hank Sr,to Hank Jr,and all the inbetweeners!!! I can't get enough,it takes me back to a much simpler time,and the memories made in those times and moments! Thank to all those greats for sharing their music,and lives to let us all have that music we all so much adore!!
There are still a few traditional style artists like Alan Jackson, George Strait, Randy Travis, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Rodney Crowell, Clint Black and Dwight Yoakam.
Kenny Dobbins FOR ME IT'S JERRY LEE, CHARLIE RICH, AND FARON YOUNG, ANOTHER LOUISIANA BOY. I LIKE JOHNNY HORTON BETTER THAN CASH. OF RECENT YEARS, AND SAMMY KERSHAW AND DWIGHT YOAKAM.
super song and video
Me da nostalgia este tema.
So beautiful
The night he burned that paper saying John Denver had won. hahahahaha Smooth Silver Fox!! LOL
Herb Walker
Herb Walker JOHN DENVER AND TAYLOR SWIFT ARE OF THE SAME ILK.
q sarpado canta este chabon
will always love you, Charlie
kelly st. clair
So very right Miss Kelly... I'd wager that you are a wonderful Lady if you like this song! I hope whoever has been blessed with your attention realizes just how lucky he is! God bless, Miss Kelly 😇
Sincerely, GK 😎
I can´t understand why Charlie just had so little success, the most of people just know "The most beautiful girl"
FYI, He had a shit ton of success
....Check his bio out ..!!!! Plus he was the One & Only Silver Fox..!!

He was Successful with his songs. But when Charlie pride come out the Industry turned towards him for some un-known reason which i never cared for. The Radio stations stop playing Charlie Rich and started playing Charlie Pride. I cried all the time when they did not play Charlie Rich when i was in my Parents car going somewhere when they played Charlie Pride, Cause i said it should be Charlie Rich. I then started singing The song i remember so well. My Favorite. https://youtu.be/ZCHkeNqbBv8?list=PLxyeEuwOPJ-IRq8XoGdAb5QEDoGGlXfZC&t=1
You are absolutely right. First, listening to this song just brings the tears when Charlie sings it. He was an amazingly talented rock-a-billy piano=playing singers who rivaled Jerry Lee Lewis. He killed it when it came to country and he was a pro at blues and jazz. A Monstrous talent Charlie just didn't seem to fit in anywhere until Billy Sherill got a hold of him and invented the "Countrypolitan" sound. By then he was in his 40's and didn't want to be pigeon=holed into one class of music. He could do it all and no one beside the great Ray Charles could touch him. Listen to his last album "Pictures and Paintings" and check out his penchant for jazz. Charlie Rich is the real deal.
@Wayne Kennedy ......Charley Pride and Charlie Rich are like comparing apples and oranges..... Pride gained popularity in 1966 with "the Snakes Crawl At Night" which was 100% pure Country, with some awesome steel guitar work by Lloyd Green. Pride's fame just went thru the roof for about 12-15 solid years..... Charlie Rich dabbled in jazz and blues and a bit of R & B going back to the early sixties, but never ever a Country presence til Sherrill threw Behind Closed Doors and Beautiful Girl at him and offered him a contract. Rich made no bones about his dislike for twangy trad Country.... He was truly at home in a much more bluesy Memphis atmosphere than the GOO in Music City. Plus remember his antics at the CMA Awards show in 75-76 when he set fire to the ballot when John Denver was named Entertainer of the Year??? many folks became very disheartened with Rich after that. Dont get me wrong here, I loved Charlie Rich..... I think he pulled off the Country thing quite well in spite of the fact he never really liked it, but he and Charley Pride are just like night and day in my book..... Pride is still kickin too, at well over 80 yrs old.
Wonderful thank you!
Always Loved Charlie's song's. Was a little Boy when Listening to real Country Music in the day.
+Rebelman476 tru dat..... as I'm racing father time and enjoying being in my 40's, more and more I'm listening to the music of my blessed childhood
