*Everybody's gone away
Say they're moving to L.A.
Allemande left your corner girl you dosado and then
Left allemande and weave
There's not a soul that I know around
Swing and promenade
**Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Goodtime Charlie's got the blues
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
**They said this town's a waste of my time
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine
*You know my heart keeps telling me
"You're not a kid at thirty-three"
**I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leaving town
