Wild Wind

Down on Main Street, after sundown Good Time Charlie, Wonderin' Bill Thought they might hold up ol' Happy's Drive-In One got away, one never will. That's the way it goes around here I think everybody knows That's the song they've singing for years That's the way the wild wind blows Too-Tall Annie kept her money In a Bible she never read They found Lefty, her first ex-husband In his new pick-up truck at the bottom of the river bed That's the way it goes around here I think everybody knows And that's the song they've singing for years That's the way the wild wind blows And it blows Luther Martin, he ain't got nobody But he sells papers and he buys his wine His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street Luther's daddy didn't have a dime And that's the way it goes around here I think everybody knows And that's the song they've singing for years That's the way the wild wind blows Ain't no secret Old Doc Skinner Wrote perscriptions, made lots of friends He could dance like nobody's bussiness Folks around here are sure missing him And that's the way it goes around here I think everybody knows That's the song they've singing for years That's the way the wild wind blows And it blows
