Goodtime
Charlie's Got The Blues
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
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town will waste your time
I guess they're right
It's wasting mine
Some gotta win
Some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues
Ya know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at thirty-three
You play around you'll lose your wife
You play too long you'll lose your life
I got my pills to ease the pain
Can’t find a thing to ease the rain
I’d love to try and settle down
But everybody’s leaving town
Some gotta win
Some gotta lose
Good time Charlie's got the blues

Be honest
Is this where you want to be
Be honest
Are you still in love with me
Look deep in your heart
Then tell me what you see
Be honest, be honest with me
Whoa darling
Are you trying to say good-bye
Just say it
Even if I start to cry
I'd rather hear the truth
Though the truth might set you free
Be honest, be honest with me
When I ask what's wrong
You say nothin'
Is there something you're afraid of telling me
And even if it hurts
It won't be any worse
Than the silence
That's slowly killin' me
Sit by me
Tell me all your fears and doubts
Oh oh baby
We can try to work them out
I won't ask you to be
Something you can't be
Be honest, be honest with me
I'd rather hear the tree
Though the truth might set you free
Just be honest, be honest with me
Be honest, be honest with me

Baby
For a man like me
Words don't come
Too easily
And Lord knows
I ain't no poet
But I'm telling you girl
In case you don't know it
This here is a love song
It's my kind of love song
I know words ain't fancy or smart
But they're coming straight from the heart
And it may not be much
But I'm begging you please
Hear it through
'Cause I'm singing it girl for you
Can't you hear me singing it
How I love you
I love you
I love you
Baby I Love you
My love
There just ain't no way
To say the thing
That I want to say
I'm so scared
That I ain't gonna make it
Ohh now don't laugh at me girl
I just couldn't take it
This here is a love song
It's my kind of love song
I know words ain't fancy or fine
I'm just laying my soul on the line
And it may not be much
But I'm begging you please
Hear it through
'Cause I'm singing it girl for you
Can't you hear me singing it
And I love you
I love you
