Wild Wind Lyrics

Wild Wind lyrics

Down on Main Street after sundown

Goodtime Charlie and Wanderin' Bill

Thought they might hold up Happy's Drive-in

One got away and one never will



Chorus:

That's the way it goes around here

I think everybody knows

That's the song they've been singin' for years

That's the way 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 riverbed



(Repeat Chorus)



Luther Martin, he ain't got nobody

But he sells papers and buys his wine

His granddaddy owned half of Main Street

Luther's daddy didn't have a dime



(Repeat Chorus)



Ain't no secret old Doc Skinner

Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends

He could dance like nobody's business

Folks around here are sure missing him



(Repeat Chorus)
