Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before heading west and finding a home two doors down in Bakersfield, CA. "Honky Tonk Man" and "Guitars and Cadillacs" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound and finds popularity among modern country fans, despite the saturation of the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville sound. The most recent release, "Blame the Vain" continues in the routine of solid albums from Mr. Yoakam.

Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(danny okeefe)
Everybodys gone away,
Said theyre movin to l.a.
Theres not a soul I know around,
Everybodys leavin town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Said find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
Guess theyre right -- its wasting mine
Chorus:
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Yknow my heart keeps tellin me
Youre not a kid at 33
Yplay around ylose your wife,
Yplay too long, you lose your life
Got my pills tease the pain,
Cant find a thing to stop the rain
Id love ttry and settle down,
But everybodys leavin town
Chorus:
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Good time charlies got the blues
