Strum
D-DU-UDU
Down  on Main  Street after sundown,
Good  time Charlie,  and  Wanderin' Bill
Thought  they might hold  up, ol'  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)
That's  the song  they've been singin'  for years
 (and 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  ain’t got nobody,
But  he sells papers  and buys  his wine.
His  great-granddaddy  owned half of Main  Street;
Luther’s daddy didn’t  have a dime.
Ain’t  no secret  Old Doc Skinner
Wrote  prescriptions; made  lots of friends.
He  could dance  like nobody’s business;
Folks  around  here, are  sure missin’ him.
