"Wild Wind" lyrics - ROBERT EARL KEEN

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]

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]

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]
