Down on Main Street after sundown,
Good time Charlie, and Wanderin' Bill
Thought they might hold up, ole' Hoppy's Drive In.
One got away and one never will.
And that's the way it goes around here;
(around here)
I think everybody knows.
(I guess everybody knows)
And that's the song I been singin' for years.
(ten years)
That's the way the wild wind blows.
(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.
Luther Martin, he aint got nobody.
Well he sells his papers and buys his wine.
His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street.
Luthers daddy didnt have a dime.
Aint no secret Ol Doc Skinner
Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends.
He could dance like nobodys business.
Folks around here, are sure missin him.
