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 one never will Chorus And thats the way it goes around here I think everybody knows Thats the song we've been singin' for years Thats 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 pickup truck at the bottom of the river bed Chorus And thats the way it goes around here I think everybody knows Thats the song we've been singin' for years Thats 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 Chorus And thats the way it goes around here I think everybody knows Thats the song we've been singin' for years Thats the way the wild wind blows Ain't no secret ol Doc Skinner Wrote prescriptions made lots of friends He could dance like nobody's business Folks around here are sure missing him Chorus And thats the way it goes around here I think everybody knows Thats the song we've been singin' for years Thats the way the wild wind blows
