Lyrics

Down on Main Street after sundown
Good Time Charlie and Wandering Bill
Thought they might hold up old Hoppy's Drive-In
One got away and one never will
And that's the way it goes around here
I think everybody knows
That's a song we've been singing for years
That's the way the wild wind blows
Two 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
And that's the way it goes around here
I think everybody knows
That's a song we've been singing for years
That's the way the wild wind blows
Luther Martin, he ain't got no money
But he sells papers and 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
That's a song we've been singing for years
That's the way the wild wind blows
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 missing him
And that's the way it goes around here
I think everybody knows
That's a song we've been singing for years
That's the way the wild wind blows
