Elvis Presley - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues

Elvis Presley - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
Recorded: 1973/12/13, first released on "Good Times" album 1974
(Words & Music: Danny O'Keefe)

Lyrics:
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
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this town's will waste their time
I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

You know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
Play around you'll lose your wife
You play it too long you'll lose your life

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Every "king" fan knows that quiet moment when it's seems like it's only you and king are sharing it! Every time I hear his songs it's like I'm listening to my closest friend not an entertainer. Just loved the guy! If giving happiness in this life counts when you get to the "pearly gates", I'm certain they swung wide open to give Elvis his rightful heavenly reward. God bless you Elvis!

Elvis, was, is and will remain a great human bean, not only the best entertainer  of the century and the all time. GOD bless him for ever.

Elvis is the greatest ever...but it didn't seem like he even learned this song. lame.

[SchatzitoPapito]

@kenelvpres i know they did. (pearly gates) i second ur statement. i agree 100 percent.

@MultiRushfan You're absolutely right-Elvis didn't like being called the King as he stated in one of his concert performances there is only one king and that is Jesus Christ but people continue to call him king. He is king of music but not my Lord and Savior. Elvis did have alot of character defects as WE all do. I seriously doubt EP ever raped anyone -Priscilla was a 14 year old volunteer. My great grandmother was married at the age of 14.

funny thing about the King. he knew our hurt(just like our heavenly father). his music reflected that toward the end. i want all viewers to listen to elvis records during the 73-77 era. he knew what was right and wrong...and he sang about it. if he could say anything today i think it would be ...treat ur wife right..take care of your kids....help those less fortunate...basically Elvis was preachinn the gospel at the end...

Elvis is gone, but he is still with us.

He will never go away.

He is that good.

I coudnt agree more.When Elvis died I felt like I had lost my best friend. He had the kind of relationship with his fans that todays so called entertainers couldnt begin to imagine much less ever achieve. When he died I think a little bit of all of us died with him.When I heard the news I threw a tennis racket through my bedroom window. I was 17 at the time and was blessed enough to have seen him live in March of 74.One of his best tours ever. We love you E. and miss you more than words can say

@kenelvpres that's the beauty of music. i don't know much about religion but that feeling you get when you listen is it if you ask me.

@MultiRushfan wow what a condemnation for such a talented man. why in the world would you call him a rapist? Horrible! maybe you are just a mean vicious person who likes to trash people. I have to assume you are a major looser and a very jealous person, the world is better without your type.
