Wild Wind

Down on Main Street after sundown Goodtime Charlie and Wanderin’ Bill Thought they might hold up Happy’s Drive-in One got away and one never will Chorus: That’s the way it goes around here I think everybody knows That’s the song they’ve been singin’ for years That’s the way 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 pickup truck at the bottom of the riverbed (Repeat Chorus) Luther Martin, he ain’t got nobody But he sells papers and buys his wine His granddaddy owned half of Main Street Luther’s daddy didn’t have a dime (Repeat Chorus) Ain’t no secret old Doc Skinner Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends He could dance like nobody’s business Folks around here are sure missing him (Repeat Chorus)
