Good Time Charlie
© 2016, Stolen Rhodes
Good time Charlie was the life of the party
Don't you know how the story ends?
The music had to stop when the record needle dropped
And Charlie couldn't keep it in the groove
He gets high, he gets stoned
Looking good, all alone
He promised the world to every last girl
But by morning he'd be on the move
He's the life of the party
But it leaves him brokenhearted
You only get so far behind the wheel of a stolen car
Driving on the wrong side of the road
Every other day he finds a new game
And he tells me it's the one to play
I came to realize he was breaking down inside
But he couldn't ever let me in
He gets mad, he's not wrong
Loves to fight till it's done
But Charlie when you're well runs dry,
You'll be saying goodbye 'cause you just can't win
He's the life of the party
But it leaves him brokenhearted
You only get so far behind the wheel of a stolen car
Driving on the wrong side of the road
Good time Charlie, can't you see the party's over?
Good time Charlie, can't you see the party's over?
Come on now, don't you know that it's over?
Good time Charlie, now it's over!
The life of the party
But it leaves him broken, leaves him brokenhearted
'Cause you only get so far behind the wheel of a stolen car
Driving on the wrong side
Driving on the wrong side
Driving on the wrong side of the road
